An outline planning application for a 3,300-home community on Little Horwood's former wartime airfield is due to be sent to Aylesbury Vale District Council in November.

Geoff Lansbury, director of FLP – the company behind Greenway and Winslow Green – said the development could offer two primary schools and a secondary school, health facilities, sports pitches and a railway station.

There would be eight different housing types, with 35% affordable housing.

He said open areas would separate Winslow Green from Winslow and the Horwoods.

Campaigners who have protested against development on the site are awaiting a first glimpse of detailed plans.

Justin Charlton-Jones, spokesman for the Group Against Greenway (GAG), said: "The main thing local residents need to be aware of is that the planning application will raise an opportunity to write to AVDC to comment on the application."

Mr Charlton-Jones said GAG would organise public meetings in Winslow and surrounding villages once the application is submitted.
