Full Planning Permission

15/01368/FUL Stoke Lodge, Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4QB

Redevelopment of site to provide two dwellings.

Parish Comments:-  No Comment

Full Planning Permission

15/01396/FUL 16 Penn Meadow, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EB

Erection of two semi-detached, two storey dwelling houses.

Parish Comments:-  Object.  Our previous comments remain the same with the addition of policy EP4. 

Previous comments were:-

Parish Comments:-  Object.  The following policies all apply:-  EP3 (a), (b), (d), (e) & (f). TR5 (c). L10

(a) & (b). H9 (a), (b) & (d).

We have concerns about an oak tree nearby which has a TPO and is within the policies as listed deemed

to close to build.  Also concerned about a note on the plan for a 5m access which is not achievable.

Highways need to look at this closely as half of the 5m on the plan is private land belonging to number

15, therefore the access can be no more than 2.5m.  PLUS EP4.

With regards to the oak tree TPO 13 2005, we believe this would still contravene policies that protect

this veteran tree, it has not been properly demonstrated how this tree will be protected.

The drawings do not reflect the proposal to raise the structure 150mm above soil level, this in turn

would have an impact on the elevations, for instance raising the ridge height and threshold levels.

We do not believe that enough time has been given for sufficient evidence that the biodiversity cycle will

not be endangered or damaged.  This could well be because the site has been completely cleared and

trees removed before the original plan was submitted.  Their actions show no serious attempt to the

Biodiversity issue.

The proposal is contrary to Core Policy 9 of the South Bucks Core Strategy.

15/01422/FUL 50 Plough Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4JP

Single Storey side and rear extension.

Full Planning Permission

Canopy and alterations to windows and doors to front entrance.

Parish Comments:-  No Comments

Full Planning Permission

15/01417/FUL Pinewood Nurseries, Wexham Street, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL3 6NB

Detached double garage.

Parish Comments:-  Object GB1.  Within the Design and Access statement is states “There is no domestic storage or garage related to this dwelling”  However the applicants had previously received permission for a traditional double garage which was subsequently converted into an annex for the farmhouse Planning Permission 13/01313/FUL!!!  This was a controversial development within the Green Belt won by appeal and we feel that the applicant having already obtained permission for a garage have now forfeited their right to further extend this further and this is now development by stealth.

Please refer to the past planning history on this site.

Full Planning Permission

APPEALS

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

Written Representations by 14/9/15

15/00281/FUL Land Adjacent to Jasmine Lodge, School Lane, Stoke Poges

Retrospective application for agricultural building and associated yard.

Parish Comments:-  Object.  Previous Comments apply which were:- Policies GB9 (a) & (b), EP3 (f) and GB1 (g) all apply.  We believe that the applicant is trying to circumvent planning as he has shown previous interest in building a permanent dwelling on this site and been turned down.  This plan does not respect the openness of the Green Belt

Also SBDC previous refusals should also apply:-
