• Details for a site restoration scheme for the land to the west of the A412 and east of Tilehouse Lane.
• Plans and specifications for earthworks for the widening of Chalfont Lane (between the A412/Chalfont Lane roundabout and a point approximately 10m west of Sunnyhill Road) and the construction of new permanent fencing (to the north of Chalfont Lane and east of Sunnyhill Road).
