For those who would like to attend the upcoming court case, Stoke Poges Parish Council v The DCLG on 12 and 13 July, details are as follows:
The Royal Courts of Justice
The Strand
London WC2A 2LL
It will begin at 10.30 am, but worth getting there half an hour earlier to clear security and find the relevant court. The actual court number will not be published until the afternoon of 11 July.
Stoke Poges Parish Council has been informed that the hearing against the Secretary of State’s decision to grant prior approval to the Khalsa Secondary Academy in Stoke Poges will be heard in the High Court in London on 12th and 13th July. The Parish Council will be represented by Guy Williams from Landmark Chambers.
Vice-Chair of the Parish Council, Saera Carter, commented: “We are delighted that we finally have a date in the High Court for the village of Stoke Poges to have its voice heard. The Government have completely ignored the perfectly fair and reasonable arguments against siting a Secondary School in this beautiful Green Belt Buckinghamshire village. We look forward to being able to present our case to a Judge – whom we trust will agree with the District Council and the Planning Inspector to refuse prior approval for this school.”
The Parish Council will make a further statement following the outcome of the hearing in the High Court in July.
Virgin Broadband has advised the Parish Council that it is planning to make ultrafast broadband (up to 200 Mbps) available to homes and small businesses in Stoke Poges.

AMENDED PLANS FOR INFORMATION
APPENDIX 3
PLANNING DECISIONS
15/02477/FUL 3 Clevehurst Close, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EP
Replacement dwelling and construction of vehicular access.
Parish Comments:- Object, this whole application contravenes the following policies:- EP3 (a), (b), (c), (d) & (e), H9 (a) & (b), H10 (a), (b), (c), (d), & (e), EP5 (a) & (b)
The east elevation to number 5 Clevehurst Close will suffer a complete loss of light into their ground floor bay window, the window is not shown on the applicants plans!!! The living accommodation over the garage at number 5 Clevehurst Close will also suffer loss of light issues due to the 60 degree rule not being applied.
The applicant has quoted policies EP6 TR5 and TR7, we do not believe that these are relevant to application.
We do not believe that this development fits or enhances the street scene in any way, it is over dominant and not in scale with the surrounding houses and does not respect or harmonise with surrounding houses, and will prevent loss of daylight to neighbours.
Contrary to the NPPF paragraph 60 we believe that this does not reflect local distinctiveness.
If minded to approve we believe that this will act as a precursor for further inappropriate redevelopment and over development of this distinctive road.
Refusal of Planning Permission
15/02459/FUL Arklow, Church Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4NZ
Detached Garage.
Parish Comments:- Object based on the fact that we believe this will be habitable accommodation and is over development in the Green Belt. Policies GB1, GB10, H13 (c) and (h) all apply.
Refusal of Planning Permission
15/02397/FUL Kulm, Stoke Wood, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4BA
Part two storey/part first floor side/rear extensions incorporating attached garage and orangery.
Parish Comments:- Object, Policies L10, EP4, GB1, GB10 and section 9 of the NPPF all apply. Overall it is impossible to tell from the plans what is happening as they are inadequate just like the last application where we commented the following:-
We are unable to make any comments on this application because the drawings are wholly inadequate to enable us to make any decision, and it is impossible to work out what is being proposed and if it is within the 50% rules in the Green Belt. We would request that this application is refused and request that new adequate drawings be submitted.
A previous application 15/01584/FUL which was refused by the case officer for the following reason
also apply to this application:-
Full Planning Permission
15/02441/FUL 31 Penn Meadow, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EB
Front Porch, two storey side and rear extension.
Parish Comments:- Object, Policy EP3 applies. We believe that this will be a precursor in a road with 3 bedroomed semi’s changing the character of the road completely.
Full Planning Permission
15/02215/FUL 16 Penn Meadow, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4EB
Erection of a detached two storey dwelling. Associated car parking and alterations to vehicular access.
Parish Comments: – The Parish Council welcome smaller property development as there is a shortage of them in this village, however the depth of this development does not harmonise well in the street scene. To comply with policies EP3, H9 and EP5 we are concerned about the depth and massing impacting on light and amenities. If the building was to be moved forward to be in line with existing building lines next door this would alleviate this problem. If minded to approve we would ask that you remove permitted development rights.
Full Planning Permission
15/02315/FUL 1 Stoke Green Cottages, Stoke Green, Stoke Poges, SL2 4HR
Proposed carport incorporating shed.
Parish Comments:- No Comment.
Full Planning Permission

ENFORCEMENT ACTION
There has been a great deal of talk in the village about the Local Plan over the past week or so. Sadly not all of the information being passed around is correct. I would like to try to put that right here.
The Local Plan is being updated as a requirement from central government. Government statistics forecast and increase in the number of households across Chiltern and South Bucks districts that will create a demand for around 7,800 new homes between now and 2036. We are in a consultation period which ends 14 March at 5pm.
In line with several other parishes Stoke Poges Parish Council (PC) organised a public meeting held on Monday 29 February. There was a presentation from South Bucks District Council (SBDC) on the proposed new Local Plan. After this the PC explained their understanding of the situation and presented a possible way forward. A handout had been prepared with details of where to look for all the information and how to make your views heard before the end of the consultation period.
I have been part of the PC Planning Committee Working Party that has been looking at the proposed Local Plan in great detail. We are all villagers and I can assure you that none of us on the Committee want to see hundreds of houses being built in the Village.
In conjunction with the Local Plan we looked at a report prepared by ARUP (consultants appointed by all the councils in Bucks) used to identify sites which would be looked at (tested) to see if they could be taken out of the Green Belt and used for housing in the future.
It was our view that ARUP had been extremely thorough in their report. In their findings the only area that did not perform strongly against the policy was the small triangle of land shown at the public meeting – this area encompasses part of Grays Park Road, part of Church Road down to Duffield Park. We looked at this in detail and their argument for choosing this site seemed appropriate.
We then turned our attention to the area identified by SBDC which was a much larger area across green fields encompassing part of each of the following – Grays Park Road, Rogers Lane, Elizabeth Way, West End Lane and Park Road. We agreed with ARUP that it performed strongly against the Green Belt policy criteria (these were listed on the handout). So we will be challenging SBDC on the use of this area for testing.
We had been told that if we, as a Parish, that if we object to some parcels of land being developed it would be helpful to put forward alternative areas for testing so we reluctantly came up with two further areas.
The first area is the already developed parts of Bayer Court which consists of the main house and the car park. It does not include the fields behind Duffield Lane which extend to Rickmans Lane. This was identified by ARUP as an area that performs strongly against the Green Belt policy and prevents the sprawl between Stoke Poges and Farnham Common.
Secondly, the recreation ground in Plough Lane which is owned by the Parish Council. I would like to make it clear at this point that the Parish Council is not considering selling off this or any other piece of Parish land. Also, we will not, under any circumstances be removing the playground and its equipment. Should this piece of land go forward for release from the Green Belt then, as owners , we, the Parish, will decide what happens to it. We could decide to do nothing.
One thing is for sure it will not be a Parish Council decision it will be in consultation with villagers.
We encourage everyone to make their views heard. There is a form on the SBDC website. Here is the link:
