DELEGATED DECISIONS
APPENDIX 2
NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
17/00312/FUL 27 Broom Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PU
Erection of four detached dwelling houses, parking provision with integral garaging and associated landscaping
Parish Comments:- Object, policies EP3 (a), (b), (c), (d) & (e). H9 (a) & (b) and TR7 (a), (b), (c) & (d) all apply.
This application is an over dominance of the site and is totally out of character with its surroundings. The style of the development appears to be Cluster Housing which is for urbanised areas and will set a precedent within our semi-rural area. It does not meet the criteria and characteristics as laid out in the South Bucks Townscape Character Study.
17/00298/FUL 29 Decies Way, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EF
Detached chalet bungalow.
Parish Comments:- Our previous comments still apply which were:-
We are concerned about the access for vehicles from the point of view that Decies Way is already overstretched with parked cars. We also have concerns around the public access from other neighbouring houses who currently use the rear access for wheelie bins to and from the rear of their properties. We highly recommend that SBDC do a site visit!!
If the conifer/cypress hedge remains it would cause no problems to any neighbours, but removing it would be a loss of an amenity.
17/00275/FUL Farm View, Wexham Street, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL3 6NB
Front porch, single storey rear extension.
Parish Comments:- No Comment.
17/00317/RVC Brynawelon, Hollybush Hill. Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PX
Variation of condition number 2 attached to PP 14/02417/FUL to allow amendments to the design on plot 1.
Parish Comments:- If this does genuinely take the plans back to the original planning permission then we have no objection, otherwise if not we object as stated previously. It is very difficult to follow the amendments as they are not clearly outlined on the drawings!
