NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
PL/20/1620/FA 30 Penn Meadow, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EB
Subdivision of plot, erection of detached dwelling served by existing vehicular access and formation of new access to serve the existing dwelling.
Parish Comments:- Object, Policies EP3 (a), (b), (d) & (f), HP (a) & (b) and NPPF section 12 all apply. The proposed development, by virtue of a combination of its size, scale, massing, style and proximity to the sites flank boundaries, would appear over dominant, obtrusive and out of keeping, as well as appearing as a cramped overdevelopment of the site. As such, it would have an adverse impact on the street scene and the character and visual amenities of the area. Therefore the proposal is contrary to policies H9 and EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999), and policy CP8 of the South Bucks Core Strategy (adopted February 2011), and the NPPF. Furthermore, the proposed development would not reflect the form or height of existing buildings on this designated Formal Suburban Road, to the detriment of its appearance and character and contrary to the content of the South Bucks Townscape Character Study.
PL/20/2016/FA Maple House, School Lane, Stoke Poges, Slough, Bucks, SL2 4QA
Single storey rear extensions and first floor extension above garage.
Parish Comments:- No objection subject to the Green Belt 50% rule.
PL/20/2106/FA Sesquiacre, Fir Tree Avenue, Stoke Poges, Bucks SL2 4NN
Demolition of existing garages, part two storey, part single storey side/front extension, conversion of loft space for habitable accommodation with dormers to rear and front elevations.
Parish Comments:- No objection subject to the Green Belt 50% rule.

Installation of a 17.5m monopole supporting 6 antennas and 2 300mm dishes, the installation of 2 cabinets and 1 meter cabinet and ancillary development.
Parish Comments:- Object, the proposed telecom mast would be cited in a prominent location visible within the open countryside in a sensitive Green Belt location. The Height and bulk form would be highly visible when viewed from the surrounding area appearing visibly intrusive, it also forms an intrusion of the skyline particularly from the new Country Park and will adversely affect the appearance of this area. Policies GB1, EP3, EP18 and section 15 of the NPPF apply.
PL/20/2120/FA 18 Penn Meadow, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EB
Single storey side extension and changes to windows and doors.

PLANNING DECISIONS
NOTED APPEALS
PL/18/4806/FA Spring Cottage, Stoke Wood, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4AU
Erection of dwelling house, demolition of existing house and outbuildings. Retention of existing garage.
Parish Comments:- We have no objection in theory, however we have concerns over the use of the applications permitted development buildings in calculation! We believe that if planning permission is granted then the permitted development rights should be removed.
We object to the style of the proposal which is contrary to the South Bucks Townscape Character Study dated July 2015 in particular to section 3.3 Woodland Roads. The character of the homes within these settings are in general to be of an asymmetrical and informal architectural composition and this is not!! Policies EP3 (f) and H9 (a) 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.
Hereby Refuse Permission
4/8/2020 – Appeal:- APP/N0410/W/20/3259672 – Written Reps by 1 September 2020
