APPENDIX 1
DELEGATED DECISIONS
APPENDIX 2
NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
PL/20/0412/FA The House, Larchmoor Park, Gerrards Cross Road, Stoke Poges, SL2 4EY
Vehicular access to Gerrards Cross Road.
PL/19/4130/FA 16 Deans Close, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4JX
Erection of single storey rear/side extension. Loft conversion incorporating rear dormer and front roof lights. New front porch and new side window.
Parish Comments:- Object to the dormer which is not in-keeping. Policies GB10, H9 (a) & (b) and EP3 (a), (b) & (c) all apply. 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.
Amended, change of design, size of dormer, and emended roof to single storey element.
PL/20/0682/FA 43 Rogers Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4LE
Retention of front brick boundary wall and brick piers. Proposed hedge behind front wall.

No TPO Required, work can commence.
PL/19/3693/FA Craylands, West End Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4ND
Single storey rear extension and extension to existing first floor terrace with associated parking.
Parish Comments: – We have no comment for the single storey rear extension; however the extension to the first floor terrace causes us concerns of overlooking.
Hereby Permits
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.
Hereby Grants Listed Building Consent
PL/19/4443/TP Montebello, Stoke Wood, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4AU
Beech (T5) fell. Silver Birch (T21) fell. (SBDC TPO 18/2013)
Parish Comments:- No Objection subject to the arboriculture report.
Hereby Grants Consent
PL/19/4255/FA West End House, West End Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4NE
Erection of a new projecting portico, alterations to fenestration and garage doors, roof alterations, addition of a dormer to front elevation of house, front and rear dormers and addition of a first floor to garage, single storey rear veranda and associated works.
Parish Comments:- Object Policy H12 applies. Concerned that this will form the basis of a self-contained annex. Contrary to Appendix 8, 8.2 & 8.3
Hereby Permits
PL/19/2701/FA Site of Linkswood, West End Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks,
Erection of boundary wall and gate.
Parish Comments:- OBJECT 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.
Paragraph 3.3 of the Townscape Study refers to Woodland Roads and actually has a picture of West End Lane clearly showing it as a Woodland Road!
If minded to approve we believe that this would lead to a precursor which would change the nature of this lovely Woodland Road.
