APPENDIX 3
PLANNING DECISIONS
PL/21/1826/FA 22 Wakefield Crescent, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DF
Proposed two storey rear extension.
Parish Comments:- No Comment
Hereby Permits
PL/21/1744/FA Farthings, Wexham Street, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL3 6PA
Single storey rear extension, conversion of garage into living space and demolition of existing conservatory.
Parish Comments:- No Comment
Hereby Permits
PL/21/1269/HB 9 Framewood Manor, Framewood Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4QR
Listed Building Consent for 7 side rooflights and internal alterations.
Parish Comments:- Object, The NPPF Paragraph 189 and Policy C6 (a) – (d) apply. This we believe is an urbanising feature.
Hereby Grants Listed Building Consent
PL/21/0603/FA 19 Hazell Way, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DD
Single storey side extension following demolition of existing garage and outbuilding in rear garden.
Parish Comments:- Object: Policies H13 (b) & (f), EP3 (b) & (c), H9 (a) & (b), Appendix 8, 9.1 & 9.2 all apply.
The proposed building is large and not subservient to the main dwelling. The height of this proposal is also too high for an outbuilding and could be reduced.
We have also noted inconsistencies in the ecology and tree report as there are several trees, mainly willows that pre date the houses which were built in 1958. We believe could be adversely affected.
This cluster of houses are situated in an area where the highway is higher than the front of the houses. With heavy rainfall, water drains naturally towards those houses and can cause flooding. There is an underground spring and stream so surface water drains along the side of these houses towards the back gardens and towards Duffield Lane
We suggest a thorough site visit to the rear of these properties as we believe these trees help to improve flooding and the loss of these trees would be detrimental. A site visit into the back gardens will show the natural stream, underground stream and number 19 which has already built a rear building which has dammed the flow, increasing flooding to the other houses.
If the local authority are minded to approve, we would suggest a condition should be placed on the permission so that it cannot be made into habitual accommodation as if permitted would be likely to act as a precursor of further applications for similar types of development which will further exacerbate existing flooding, which the Planning Authority would find increasingly difficult to resist.
Hereby Permits
PL/21/0728/FA Calladown, Fir Tree Avenue, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4NN
Part single, part two storey front, side and rear extensions, replacement crown roof including the raising of the ridge height and solar panels, changes to windows, door and landscaping.
Parish Comments:- Object: Contrary to Part 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), saved policies EP3 and H11 set out in the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999), Core Policy 8 of the South Bucks District Core Strategy (adopted February 2011), the South Bucks District Council Residential Design Guide (October 2008) and National Design Guide (2019).
The combination of the side and rear extension would engulf the host dwelling, covering some of the existing decorative style features and detracting from those which remain. As such, the proposed extensions do not integrate satisfactory with the existing features or harmonise with the decorative style of the host dwelling and are therefore considered to be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host dwelling.
We believe this proposal to be over dominant in a strategic part of Green Belt
Withdrawn
PL/21/0931/FA 68 Vine Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DP

PL/21/1928/FA The Cricket Club, Stoke Green, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4HT
Installation of a container for storage.
Parish Council Comments: Object
There is already a container one container located here and we feel that adding another will clutter what is a Green Belt site and conservation area. We feel this is an urbanising feature. It will cause loss of parking and drainage issues. The site is next to a Grade 2 listed building. We feel it would be more pleasing in Green Belt to have one solution.

PL/21/2349/TP Chestnuts, 1A Vine Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DW
T1 – Lime Tree – Fell (SBDC TPO No 13, 1994)
Parish Comments: – Object, there is not enough evidence to remove a healthy tree. Policy L10 applies. It is considered that this tree does not pose a significant risk of harm and the application to fell it has not been properly justified. The tree has amenity and ecological value, and its retention is justified. To feel the tree would therefore be contrary to policy L10 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999). Hereby Grants Consent.

Parish Comments: – The proposal, by virtue of its constrained plot size is not of a form of development which is compatible with the scale and spacious pattern of development in the surrounding area. As such, the proposal would adversely impact upon this existing character and appearance of the area, contrary to policies EP3 and H9 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (Adopted March 1999) refer).
