We are delighted to announce that Buckinghamshire College Group has reached an important milestone for our plans to build a new state of the art college campus right in the heart of High Wycombe. Buckinghamshire Council has reviewed our planning applications and approved unanimously a “resolution to grant planning permission” giving us the green light to move forward.
Jenny Craig, College Principal and CEO, commented:
“I am thrilled that we have passed this significant milestone in realising our vision to deliver inspirational technical, vocational and professional skills education in the south of the County. The new campus will enable many more students to access and benefit from industry standard learning spaces and will enhance our ability to respond to employers' current and future skills needs.”
Our new campus will bring a new modern purpose built vocational and technical education campus to High Wycombe ensuring that students benefit from inspiring industry standard learning facilities. The new campus is set to benefit from a prominent town centre location, served by nearby public transport and will help to support local businesses such as shops and restaurants.
Rachael Matthews, Buckinghamshire Council’s Deputy Cabinet Member for Town Centre Regeneration, commented:
“Once completed, Buckinghamshire College Group’s new High Wycombe town centre campus will contribute to the regeneration of the area. Not only will the new development help to boost the local economy, but it will also create a more attractive and dynamic town centre for the whole community to enjoy. Furthermore, the new campus is sure to contribute to the development of in-demand skills in Buckinghamshire.”
We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the project including the team at Peter Marsh Consulting and the planning officers at Buckinghamshire Council for their continued support throughout the design and planning process. Please watch out for further updates in the coming months.
