APPENDIX 3
PLANNING DECISIONS
PL/22/0279/TP Asees, West End Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4NA
T1, T2 and T3 Scots Pine Fell (TPO/SBDC/2012/27)
Parish Comments:- Object to the removal of healthy trees with TPO’s. The applicant has given no reason for removal. West End Lane is classified as a Woodland Road therefore removal of trees and soft hedges is seen as damaging to the street scene.
Hereby Grants Consent.
PL/21/4543/FA Boundary Meadow, Collum Green Road, Stoke Poges, SL2 4BB
Erection of a new dwelling following demolition of existing house and outbuildings.
Parish Comments:- Object over the Green Belt 50% Rules. Policies GB10, GB11, H9, EP3 & GB1 all apply. This style and design of property is not in keeping in this Green Belt area. This is not compatible with the street scene and will act as a precursor. If permission were given this should ensure that the garage and outbuildings are considered with the 50% rules.
WITHDRAWN
PL/21/4525/FA Building A, Sefton Park, Bells Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4JS
Removal of existing window and replace with door, remodelling of low brick wall to create level access with handrails, paved surface and tactile paving, installation of glazed porch canopy.
Parish Comments: – No Comment
Hereby Permits
PL/22/0363/FA 78 Hazell Way, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DG
Single storey front and rear extensions.
Parish Comments: – No Objections to the plan although we have concerns about the proximity of a tree to the proposal which we believe the applicant has failed to include. Looking on Google Maps we believe a tree to be 13.5m from the proposal. We also note this has been highlighted by a resident’s letter of objection
Hereby Permits
PL/21/4604/FA The Ledgers, Park Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PG
Application to define three separate and individual curtilages associated with The Ledgers, The Studio and The Annex.
Parish Comments: – Object, Policies H12(F), H13(a) (c) & (d), GB2(g) 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 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.”
Policies relating to this application are as above as well as GB10 (a), GB11, GB1 (e), Appdx 8, 8.1 and 9.3. The NPPF Page 42, 143, 144 and 145 (c) & (g). H12 (a).
In addition, there would be an increase in the level of domestic paraphernalia within each cartilage which would have an urbanising effect in the Green Belt. As such, the proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. A case of very special circumstances sufficient to outweigh the harm to the Green Belt has not been submitted. The development is therefore contrary to Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy GB1 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (1999).
We believe that this applicant should not have received a certificate of lawfulness in the first place and that this is now subject to a legal matter. We do not agree that the curtilage should be split. It should remain as one curtilage. We fundamentally disagree with the division of the plot which would not harmonise with surrounding plots that area of a generous size.
Looking at examples in the locality where houses have been replaced with apartments, they still only have one shared curtilage.
We would also have concerns over the extra green area shown on the plan as the application refers to three dwellings. Is this about to become a fourth curtilage??
WITHDRAWN
PL/21/3920/FA Beltrees, Park Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4PA
First floor side extension.
Parish Comments: – No objection subject to the Green Belt 50% rules.
Hereby Permits
PL/22/0055/FA Landsdowne House, Templewood Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4DA
Part two storey/part first floor side/rear extension and outbuilding in side garden.
Parish Comments: – Object, Green Belt 50% rules apply. Google Earth shows the proximity of trees to the development is undermined.
This proposal, together with previous extensions that have been carried out to the dwelling house 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 Greenbelt which, individually and when considered in the context of accumulation of other similar proposals, would detrimentally affect the aims objectives go the Greenbelt. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies GB1 and GB10 of the SBDC Local Plan (adopted March 1999)
Hereby Permits
PL/22/0392/FA Land of The South-West side of Park Road, Stoke Poges, Bucks.
100 solar panels to be installed on the land adjacent to Manor House, Solar Battery storage to be house within existing pool outbuilding.
Parish Comments: – Object. The application site is a Grade 2 Registered Park and is located within the Conservation Area and Metropolitan Green Belt as defined in the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) and within the Green Belt and therefore would be considered as inappropriate development. We refer you to the Gardens Trust document with which we totally agree. Policy C1 (a) and (b) 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 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. We refer also to former application PL21/1327/SA which was refused.
