Inland Homes will also complete the final section of the A355 Beaconsfield relief road, easing traffic flow in the local area.

In addition to the consented plans, there are provisional proposals for further development on the site which could provide a further 250 homes and 18,500 sq m of commercial space. 

Stephen Wicks, Group Chief Executive at Inland Homes, commented: 

"We are delighted the planning is now free from challenge and that these eminent architects have been appointed. The scheme will be traditional and spectacular, and we are excited about the prospect of creating a new landmark destination for Buckinghamshire. The scheme will deliver a wide range of benefits both for the existing local community and residents at the new Wilton Park, and first-rate architecture and design will be key to its success for generations to come."
