Determined
18/00865/FUL Firs Field Storage Building, Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks,
Erection of a detached single storey dwelling following with demolition of the existing storage building.
Parish Comments:- Our Previous Comments Still Apply which were:-
Object Policies GB2 ( a),( b), (c) & ( d) and (giii) , and GB1all apply!
It is not considered that the existing farm building is of ‘substantial’ construction and capable of conversion into a dwelling without major re-construction. In addition the resulting dwelling and its associated garden/residential curtilage would have an urbanising impact on this rural setting and would erode the openness of the Green Belt and conflict with its purposes of safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt which by definition is harmful and would be contrary to the aims of saved policies GB1 and GB2 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) and the guidance set out in the NPPF. 2. The application has failed to provide adequate survey information relating to bats and reptiles on the site. As such it has not possible to properly assess the impact of the proposed development on these protected species. In addition the application has failed to demonstrate how net gain for biodiversity will be obtained. The application is therefore contrary to Core Policy CP9 of the South Bucks Core Strategy (adopted February 2011) and the guidance set out of the NPPF.
This proposal, if permitted, would be likely to act as a precursor of further applications for similar types of development within this part of the Green Belt, which the District Planning Authority would find increasingly difficult to resist and which, cumulatively, would further seriously prejudice the openness of the Green Belt and the aims and objectives of the Green Belt Policy.
The Design and Access statement associated with this application states that the existing building is clad in corrugated metal. We disagree strongly with this statement. This is not a clad building it is an unstable structure primarily constructed of corrugated sheets.
We also disagree with the statement on page 18 of this application that the site has existing vehicular access. There is currently no road or access suitable for vehicles.
The elevations and floor plans of the existing structure provided with this application are extremely inaccurate and falsely give the impression of a permanent and substantial structure.
We find the fact that this building has B use extremely strange. It has never been used as any form of employment.
The application site is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt wherein there is a general presumption against inappropriate development except in very special circumstances. It has not been demonstrated that the existing building to be converted is of permanent and substantial construction and capable of conversion without major or complete re-construction. In addition the associated use of the land would detract from the open and undeveloped character of the Green Belt. The proposal constitutes inappropriate development within the Green Belt, which by definition is harmful, and no very special circumstances have been advanced sufficient to warrant an exception to Green Belt policy. As such the proposal is contrary to policies GB1 and GB2 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) and section 9 (Protecting Green Belt Land) of the NPPF. 2.
The proposed development would result in an intensification of use of an existing access at a point where visibility is substandard and would lead to danger and inconvenience to people using it and to highway users in general. The development is therefore contrary to saved policy TR5 of the South Buicks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999), the aims of the Buckinghamshire’s Local Transport Plan 4 and the guidance set out in the NPPF.
Also the existing drawings DO NOT reflect a true picture of what is currently there!!
Determined
APPEALS
18/00097/FUL The Baobab, Framewood Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL3 6PG
Conversion of the existing ancillary outbuilding into a self-contained residential dwelling and new vehicular access.
Parish Comments:- Object this is contrary to Policies GB1 & GB2, and section 9 of the NPPF and TR5, as
outlined and reference to SBDC Refusal comments to the last application 17/01099/FUL, nothing has changed and
all of those refusal comments still apply.
Refusal Full Planning Permission

Appeal Dismissed
18/00676/FUL Brookdale, Bells Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4ED
Redevelopment of site to provide 7 dwellings a=with associated parking and access.
Parish Comments:- Our Previous comments still apply which were:-
Concerns of overdevelopment. Although statutory parking spaces have been met there are
concerns about visitor parking as the only other place to park is the main road B416 which suffers from speeding
traffic.
Also policies H9 (a), (b) & section 840, and TR7 (d) & (b), and EP3 (a), (b) & (d) all apply.
