APPENDIX 3
PLANNING DECISIONS
PL/25/2158/FA 61 Vine Road, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4DW
Demolition and replacement with a new dwelling (part retrospective) (alternative scheme to approval PL/23/3562/FA).
Parish Comments: Object, Policies EP3 & H9 apply.
The 2m wall at the back of the property is not compatible with other boundary treatments within the locality which are either wooden fencing or soft vegetation. This is contrary to our recently adopted Neighbourhood Plan. Which can be found on our website.
Page 63 – 4.2, LB01 page 67, LB03, LB04 & LB05.
This locality is mainly made up of modest semi-detached houses therefore this five-bedroom, four-bathroom house will be out of context and set a precedent which the local authority could find increasingly difficult to resist.
The existing extension as it stands does not comply with current insulation regulations and is inferior by today’s standards.
There have been 3 planning applications on this site and 2 conditional applications.
Previous advice by the planning authority was that 4.25 meters was a condition for a maximum extension; this current application exceeds that condition.
This current application does not reflect the existing outbuilding at the back of the garden under permitted development, so this would make the garden less than 50% of the original and make a 5 bedroomed, 4-bathroom house.
This is another example of applicants circumnavigating previous planning applications and flouting planning law; therefore, the Parish Council are requesting that this application be called in.
Hereby Refuses Permission
PL/25/3612/FA 41 Vine Road, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4DW
Detached outbuilding to be used as home office and gym (Part retrospective).
Parish Comments: We are extremely disappointed that we asked for an extension for comments however this has already been decided before we had the chance to comment, but we are happy it was refused.
Hereby Refuses Permission
PL/25/1086/VRC 41 Vine Road, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4DW.
Variation of condition 6 (approved plans) of planning permission PL/24/3780/FA (Two storey side, single storey rear and front extensions and conversion of existing garage to living space) to relocate the garage 1m away from the boundary and provide access to the rear garden.
Parish Comments: Object
It is considered that the proposed variation, by virtue of its scale, bulk and design would appear as a dominating and obtrusive feature that would be incongruous to the existing traditional roof form and surrounding developments and would as such be detrimental to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the local area in general. The dormer, when assessed cumulatively with the proposed two storey extensions would result in a complicated and overtly bulky roof form that would wrap around the original building and fail to offer any subservience to the original roof form. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies EP3, H11 and Appendix 8 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999). The NPPF is explicit in stating that planning decisions should ensure developments will function well and add to the overall quality of the area, as well as being visually attractive as a result of good architecture in order to achieve well-designed and beautiful places. The proposed development would constitute poor design and would fail to accord with Section 12 of the NPPF, C1 of the National Design Guide and the South Bucks Residential Design Guide. The proposal also conflicts with the Design Guidance and Codes document associated with the Stoke Poges Neighbourhood Plan (submission stage) Which can be found on our website.

4. Decision-making
48. Local planning authorities may give weight to relevant policies in emerging plans according to:
(a) the stage of preparation of the emerging plan (the more advanced its preparation, the greater the weight that may be given).
(b) the extent to which there are unresolved objections to relevant policies (the less significant the unresolved objections, the greater the weight that may be given); and
c) the degree of consistency of the relevant policies in the emerging plan to this Framework (the closer the policies in the emerging plan to the policies in the Framework, the greater the weight that may be given).
