APPEALS
PL/21/1343/OA Spring Cottage, Stoke Wood, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4AU
Outline Planning Permission for construction of two detached dwellings (all matters reserved)
Parish Comments:- Object. Our comments for the previous refusal still apply which were:-
Parish Comments:- Object, policy GB1 and GB11 apply as well as NPPF Clause 144 & 145. 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 Greenbelt, which the Planning Authority would find increasingly difficult to resist and which, which, cumulatively, would seriously prejudice the openness of the Greenbelt and the aims and objectives of Greenbelt policy. This proposal would, by virtue of the resultant size and scale of the buildings when considered in relation to the original buildings and its potential 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 similar proposals, would detrimentally affect the aims and objectives of the Green Belt. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies GB1 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) which seek to ensure that extensions to dwellings within the Green Belt are, inter alia, of a small scale in relation to the size of the original dwelling, and to section 9 of the NPPF (Protecting Green Belt Land).
The application site is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt wherein there is a general presumption against inappropriate development except in very special circumstances. The proposed conversion of the existing residential out building, into a self-contained dwelling house, and use of the surrounding land as a separate residential curtilage would cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it by virtue of the increase in the density of housing, and the associated siting of domestic paraphernalia, permanent boundary treatments, curtilage buildings, and an increase in the intensity at which the site would be used, including vehicular movements within the Green Belt, which by definition is harmful. No very special circumstances have been advanced sufficient to warrant an exception to the normal operation of 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 13 (protecting Green Belt Land) of the NPPF.
We do not accept the argument set out within the planning statement, concerning either limited infilling in villages, nor do we accept the premise that the site is well connected to the village of Stoke Poges. Stoke Wood is not physically a part of the village. The suggestion it is a 30 minute walk from the village centre is an exaggeration for most people.
In addition we still Object as this will set a precedent for other infill developments. Policies GB1, GB2 and NPPF Section 13 applies.
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 Greenbelt, which the Planning Authority would find increasingly difficult to resist and which, which, cumulatively, would seriously prejudice the openness of the Greenbelt and the aims and objectives of Greenbelt policy. The application site is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt wherein there is a general presumption against inappropriate development except in very special circumstances. Also use of the surrounding land as a separate residential curtilage would cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it by virtue of the increase in the density of housing, and the associated siting of domestic paraphernalia, permanent boundary treatments, curtilage buildings, and an increase in the intensity at which the site would be used, including vehicular movements within the Green Belt, which by definition is harmful.
Appeal due to Secretary of State due to Buckinghamshire Council failing to determine the application with the statutory period.
