Construction of chalet bungalow.
Parish Comments:- Object. Policies H13 (a), (b), (c), (f) & (g) appendix 8.2 and 8.3 and EP3 all apply. We have noted residents concerns and there appears to be another building already on the land exactly where they want to build this?
PL/19/3167/TP Trelawney, 2 Hampden Close, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4JF
T1 Tulip – trimmed by approximately 15% (3.5 metres) (SBDC TPO 868)
Parish Comments:- No objection subject to the arboriculturalist’s report.
PL/19/3144/HB Focus School, Stoke Poges Campus, School Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4QA
Listed Building Consent for Erection of a multi-purpose space and ancillary rooms and refurbishment of Grade II Listed Sefton Park School.
Parish Comments: – We have no objections as far as the refurbishment of the Grade II Listed building is concerned. However we OBJECT to the addition of the multi-purpose space as we believe its design is totally out of keeping in this historically sensitive location.
PL/19/3143/FA Focus School, Stoke Poges Campus, School Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4QA
Erection of a multi-purpose space and ancillary room, removal of existing modular classrooms, creation of a new footpath link with Khalsa Academy, creation of temporary construction access on School Lane and related landscaping, SUDS and other drainage works and associated works to 6no TPO trees.
Parish Comments:- OBJECT (addition of multi-purpose space). This is an historically sensitive location set on a narrow wooded lane within the green belt. The development does not meet any of the criteria of Policy GB1 and in light of the application from Pioneer House asking for approval to hold civil ceremonies there is a major concern that this building will be used as a venue for 3rd party events. Therefore Policy GB5 (a), (b), (c), (d) & (e) would also become relevant. Additionally we have concerns over an increase in parking onsite which would lead to the generation of additional traffic on an already busy but narrow lane. Policies TR5 and TR7 (d) would also apply. Furthermore we consider that the proposed application does not meet any of the requirements of Policy EP3
PL/19/3344/FA Fairfield Lodge, Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4QN

PLANNING DECISIONS
PL/19/2517/FA Jolanka, Stoke Court Drive, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4LU
Demolition of existing garage. Two storey side, front, part two storey, part single storey side extensions incorporating rear balconies and internal alterations.
Parish Comments:- No Comment
Hereby Permits
PL/19/2264/FA Firs Field Storage Building, Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks.
Erection of detached dwelling following demolition of the existing storage building.
Hereby Permits
PL/19/1990/FA Aramghar, Park Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PJ
Two storey side extensions.
Parish Council Comments: We believe that the scale is not in character and EP3a, b, c and H9a and b apply.
This proposal together with previous extensions that have been carried out to the dwellinghouse would, by virtue of the resultant size and scale of the building when considered in relation to the original building and its potentially intrusive impact upon its setting in the landscape, contribute to the erosion of the Green Belt which, individually and when considered in the context of an accumulation of other similar proposals, would detrimentally affect the aims and objectives of the Green Belt. As such, the proposal is contrary to the Policies GB1 and GB10 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999).
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.
