Nearby private schools include The Griffin preparatory school at Great Kimble, as well as The Beacon, The Gateway, Pipers Corner, Godstowe Preparatory and Wycombe Abbey.

Background 1.1 Wycombe District Council is currently progressing work on preparing a new planning framework, including a new Local Plan for the District. This work comprises a range of studies to explore options for accommodating new development requirements. 1.2 As part of the Council’s technical work which has already taken place, particularly as part of the Local Plan Options Consultation in 2014, it has already become clear that the requirements for new development are likely to be considerably higher than previous targets. Consequently the Council is likely to be faced with significantly greater challenges in terms of finding options to meet these needs. 1.3 To put this into context, the Council’s Adopted Core Strategy was based on a housing target of 402.5 new homes per annum, a quantum which was capable of being delivered predominantly through brownfield development and the limited pool of greenfield reserve sites in the south of the District. The early indication of significantly higher growth levels in the District means, however, that for the first time in many years, there is the prospect of a significant level of greenfield development being required to be explored in the Local Plan, to help meet the District’s development requirements.

This ended a long history as one of the village’s original beer shops, later developing into a public house, which played such an important and interesting role in the development, character and life of the village. This photograph was taken from the Auction Sale Brochure. Lacey Green is not mentioned in the Domesday Book like some other villages in the area, so it cannot claim to be an ancient settlement.
