The Parish Council has taken the first step towards the preparation of a Neighbourhood Plan, which will plan the village's development over the next 20 years.
People are being asked to comment on Steeple Claydon Parish Council's application to AVDC to designate the whole parish as a neighbourhood area.
A consultation has been launched, with all responses due in by 26 March.
If the application is approved following the consultation, it will be the parish council's first step on their way towards preparing a neighbourhood plan.
A neighbourhood plan can establish planning policies for the development and use of land, including where additional new homes and offices should be built and what they should look like.
Residents of Steeple Claydon would be given the opportunity to be involved in the preparation of the neighbourhood plan and, ultimately, will have the right to vote for or against it at a referendum. No plan can be adopted unless it passes a referendum.
This current consultation is not a consultation on a neighbourhood plan, but rather one on the boundary of where a future neighbourhood plan can be prepared for.
The parish council is suggesting the whole of the parish area should form the boundary, but if people think it should be a bigger or smaller area, they should let AVDC know.
A copy of the neighbourhood area application is available to view on the AVDC website
People are able to submit comments on the application, specifically on the area which Steeple Claydon Parish Council proposes to designate as a neighbourhood area, until 5pm on 26 March.
Comments can be made either by email to planningpolicy@aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk or by post to Aylesbury Vale District Council, Forward Plans, The Gateway, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP19 8FF.
