APPENDIX 2
NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
17/00825/OUT Temple Cottage, Templewood Lane, Stoke Poges SL2 3HW
Outline application for two detached dwelling houses with formation of vehicular access.
Parish Comments:- Firstly one of the covering letters refers to application 17/00196/FUL which has nothing to do with this application and relates to a house called Foxhollow!!
We object to this application based on the drawings which have no proper measurements, and we cannot make a judgement on the 50% rules. We are also concerned over properties in this area with basements due to the water table in this area. The entrance is a big concern being on such a small road and on a bend, and it will become a busy junction.
17/00770/TPO 26 Elderfield Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DE
T1 Oak – Crown thinning by 30% (SBDC TPO No 09, 2010)
Parish Comments:- No objections subject to the arboriculturalists report.
17/00352/FUL Davel House, Keens Acre, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4FB
Amendment to PP 15/00501/FUL to allow for increase in roof height.
Parish Comments:- No Comment
17/00879/FUL South Lodge, Rickmans Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4AF
Two storey rear extension.
Parish Comments:- In principal we have no objections, but believe this is in the Green Belt and has already extended over the 50% green belt rules.
17/00861/LBC Stoke House, Grays Park Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks,
Listed Building Application for: Internal and external alterations.
Parish Comments:- No Objection.
17/00914/FUL Jolanka, Stoke Court Drive, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4LU
Two storey side/rear extension incorporating integral garage, rear balcony and alterations to fenestration.
Parish Comments:- We do not believe this is in the Green Belt but a Greent Belt calculation has been submitted, which would then make us query the 50% Green Belt rules!
17/00929/FUL 27 Broom Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PU
Construction of three terraced dwellings with associated vehicular accesses.
Parish Comments:- Object our previous comments apply which were:-
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 of Terraced Houses 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.
We would also question the amount of parking spaces not being enough.
17/00961/FUL 77 Vine Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DQ
Single storey rear extension.
Parish Comments:- No Comment
17/00993/CLUED 2 Woodbine Cottages, Gerrards Cross Road, Stoke Poges, SL2 4EL
Application for Certificate of Lawfulness for existing: Use of an outbuilding as a separate self-contained dwelling.
Parish Comments:- Object our previous comments still apply which were:-
Object, we have serious concerns about this, appendix 9 & 10, H12, H13, GB2 (g) i, ii, iii, iv & v all apply. Please refer to the many previous planning refusals and appeals.
We also agree with the previous refusal reasons from SBDC. We have seen the letters purporting to be from tenants, has it been checked that these were on the electoral registers when they say they were living there or have you seen any other evidence that confirms their residency.
