Planning is about how the local authority Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) plan for, and make decisions about, the future of our towns and countryside in The Vale. Planning has a long history, even thousands of years ago people will have discussed where to build homes and shelters!

AVDC has withdrawn the Aylesbury Vale Core Strategy which formed part of the planning policy reponse to the South East Plan (the Regional Spatial Strategy) and is currently formulating the new planning policy for Aylesbury Vale; The Vale of Aylesbury Plan.
