Introduction
Delivering a sustainable new community in Buckingham
Bloor Homes is excited to bring forward plans for up to 220 new homes for local families, as well as new community amenities and extensive green open space and wildlife areas, on land east of Buckingham in Bourton.
This is a sustainable site, close walking distance to local facilities, with the amenities on site open to the wider community. The new homes will include policy compliant affordable housing provisions of at least 25%.
A third of the site will be retained as open green space and play areas, and an additional 12 hectares of accessible ecological areas are being proposed to ensure a well landscaped scheme that will have at least a 10% biodiversity net gain.
On 21 September 2024 we held a community drop-in event, giving local residents a chance to chat with the Bloor team about the proposals. If you were unable to attend this event, you can view the exhibition boards that were on display:

About
Bloor Homes
Bloor was established in 1969 when John Bloor founded the company and built its first home. Every possible detail was taken into consideration to create a beautiful home. The same is still true today. More than fifty years later, it is one of the largest privately owned house-building groups in the UK.
Bloor gives as much careful consideration to its locations and the surrounding environment of its sites as it does to the new community it ultimately creates. Its ethos is to make every effort to conserve the natural balance of each location, including heritage conservation, the conservation of wildlife, and the preservation of natural features.
