DELEGATED DECISIONS
APPENDIX 2
NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
15/01034/TPO Oakwood House, Stoke Poges Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4NP
Oak – 25% crown reduction and clean cut damaged branch (SBDC TPO No. 24, 1999)
Parish Comment: No objections subject to the Arboriculturalists report.
15/00992/FUL 1 Stoke Green Cottages, Stoke Green, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4HR
Proposed carport incorporating shed and canopy.
Parish Comment: Object. The canopy has been previously rejected by SBDC and we see no reason for that decision to be changed. The canopy and carport contravene the following policies; C1 a) i) – v), C1 b) i) – vii), GB1 (g) (i), (ii) & (iii) and H13 (b), (c) & (f). The drawn information provided does not satisfactorily show the existing and proposed elevations and plans. We feel this is an inappropriate development within a Conservation area.
15/01125/FUL 8 Sefton Close, Stoke Poges, Bucks SL2 4LJ
Front porch and part single/part-two storey side and rear extension.
Parish Comment: No comment.
15/01166/TPO Shanacoole, Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4AH
Beech – Fell (SBDC TPO No. 18, 1997)
Parish Comment: Object. Refer 15/00779/TPO. This application (for a reduction) was previously rejected by SBDC. Presumably the Arboriculturist’s previous recommendations will stand.
15/01149/FUL 26 Plough Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4JR
Single storey front extension and two storey side extension.
Parish Comment: No comment, subject to the 50% rule.
15/01210/FUL 28 Clevehurst Close, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EP
Part single/part two storey/part first floor front/side/rear extensions. (amendment to PP 13-01921/FUL)

T1 Douglas Fir – Remove (BCC TPO No. 6, 1976)
Parish Comment: No reasons given for removal. Refer to Arboriculturist.
15/01291/FUL Firtree Cottage, Wexham Street, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL3 6NB
Single storey rear extension.
Parish Comment: No comment.
15/01264/TEMP Land to the West of, Wexham Street, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4HL
Temporary 12 month car park for approximately 400 vehicles.
Parish Comment: Object GB1 (g) (i), GB5 (d), GB9 (a) & (c). If SBDC were minded to approve this scheme we would wish to be assured that the development would only be in place for one year and that full remediation would take place after that time, i.e. complete removal of all grass grid, resoil and seed, replace hedges and trees including repairing the hedge where the entrance was formed. We have serious concerns that if approved this car park would become a permanent feature and could act as a precursor to other development.
15/01296/FUL Wharnclifee House, Grays Park Road, Stoke Poges, SL2 4JG
Single storey rear extension.
Parish Comment: No comment.
15/01292/TPO Dellamaine House, Park Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PA

Parish Comments:- No Objections.
WITHDRAWN
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.
Full Planning Permission
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.
Temporary Planning Permission
15/00894/RC Hollybush Farm, Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4QN
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.
Refusal of Removal of Condition
