17/01591/FUL Waterside House, Bells Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EG
Retrospective application for boundary wall with entrance gate.
Parish Comments:- Object, policies EP3, EP5 (a) & (b), H9 (a) & (b) and TR7 (b) all apply! The proposed front boundary wall, if permitted, would result in a visually intrusive road-side feature that would appear prominent in the street scene, the predominant existing roadside features of which are mostly soft vegetative boundaries rather than formal engineered structures. This would have an urbanising impact on the locality and would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the street scene. As such it is considered that this element of the proposal is contrary to policy EP3 of the SBD local plan. Since the wall and gates have been erected the applicant’s guests cannot access his property and therefore park on the private access road/public footpath into the public recreation area and sports pavilion, blocking access for other vehicles for pavilion users and access for pedestrians. The government planning portal states that planning permission should be applied for if you wish to erect or add a fence, wall or gate if over 1 metre high and next to a highway used by vehicles (or the footpath of such a highway). This is next to a public access!!
