APPENDIX 1
DELEGATED DECISIONS
APPENDIX 2
NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
15/00774/CAN Farm Cottage, Park Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PG
Conifer – Fell (Stoke Park Conservation Area)
Parish Comments:- No Objections subject to the arboriculturalists report.
15/00779/TPO Shanacoole, Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4AH
(T2) – Beech – Crown reduction of 25% (TPO no. 18, 1997)
Parish Comments:- No Objections subject to the arboriculturalists report.
15/00713/TEMP Focus School, Stoke Poges Campus, School Lane, Stoke Poges, SL2 4QA
Retention of single storey temporary prefabricated classrooms.
Parish Comments:- Object, GB2 (a) & (b) apply. We object on grounds based on the fact that they
cannot continue to be temporary buildings indefinitely in a Green Belt Area. This detracts from the
grade 2 listed building.
15/00836/FUL Land between 19 & 21 Sefton Close, Stoke Poges
Redevlopment of site to provide one detached dwelling.
Parish Comments:- Object our previous comments apply which were:-
Parish Object, Overdevelopment of site. Policies EP3 (a), (b), (d), (e) & (f), H9 (a) and TR5 (c) all apply. We do not believe that this development is in scale with the surrounding houses, it is oversized. The siting of the building would adversely affect the character and amenities of nearby properties, creating congested groupings of buildings and removes the spaces between the buildings. It is overdevelopment and is crammed. As a Parish Council we are currently dealing with problems of parking on pavements and grass verges making accessibility for pedestrians difficult and in some cases impassable. These issues have a more significant effect on the elderly, infirm and persons with pushchairs. We believe that this will lead to an increase of visitors which will mean more cars parking in an already congested, narrow cul-de-sac further exacerbating current issues.
15/00863/FUL Pine Cottage, Stoke Wood, Bucks, SL2 4AU
Detached garage.
Parish Comments:- No Comment.
15/00867/FUL Orchard Cottage, Hockley Lane, Stoke Poges, SL2 4QE
Single storey rear extension.
Parish Comments:- No Comment.
15/00874/FUL 56 Rogers Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4LF

Application for the removal of condition 6 of PP 92/00761/FUL to alow:- Unrestricted future use of
permitted development rights.
Parish Comments:- Object, GB10 policies apply. This condition has been on this planning permission
since 1992 and this building is now in a Conservation Area. There a no exceptional circumstances
which have been demonstrated to change the condition in any way, and this could act as a precursor.
AMENDED PLANS FOR INFORMATION

Full Planning Permission
15/00142/CLUED Land off, Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks
Application for Certificate of Lawfulness for existing: Use of land as a builders yard
Parish Comments:- Object. This is a precursor in the Green Belt. The pictures demonstrate that this
is not a commercially viable builders yard. With regards to the supporting letter we do not believe that
a few bags of cement and a wheelbarrow constitutes a builders yard and giving permission to this would
set a precursor for future building in the Green Belt. GB1 applies.
Certificate of Lawfulness
15/00301/FUL Eliza Grange, Stoke Court Drive, Stoke Poges, SL2 4LT
Entrance gate and railing to boundary.
Parish Comments:- Object Policy EP3 (e) applies.
Full Planning Permission

elevation gables added, stone corners on all elevations, parapet wall over front and rear of garage, two
additional windows to first floor rear and one additional window to first floor side elevations.
Parish Comments:- Object policies EP3 (d) & (e) apply. Object to the padstones. Rogers Lane is a
Lane with individual cottage style houses. This is not compatible with the character and amenity of the
site and location and will act as a precursor.
Variation of Condition Permitted
15/00293/FUL Little Mount, Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, SL2 4AA
Single storey rear extension.
Parish Comments:- No Comment.
Full Planning Permission
15/00228/FUL Retreat, Church Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4NZ

14/01602/TPO Rainbow Cottage, Farthing Green Lane, stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4JQ
Pine tree (T2) – Fell (SBDC TPO NO. 31, 1999)
Parish Comments:- Object. Any loss of a tree is detrimental to our village and we recommend that
TPO’s are put on all of the neighbours trees instead of allowing this one to be removed. This will set a
precursor for extensions to the property.
Consent Refused.
