Single storey rear extension, front porch and side garage extension
Parish Comments: Object, policies EP3, H9, EP5, Appendix 8, 1.2 & 7.4, NPPF 139 all apply. The applicants statement states the rear extension will have a glazed wall to allow light into the neighbouring property; there is no guarantee that this will happen.
This is contrary to our adopted Neighbourhood Plan, LB03 Housing Mix as the house will contribute to the erosion of small to medium stock housing.
Hereby Permits

Parish Comments: Object.
The Ecology and Trees Checklist in incorrect, there are trees, agricultural buildings and barns nearby, it is also within 2km of a Conservation Area and Sefton Park Pond is close by.
Contrary to the access statement there is no GP surgery on Wexham Street. This is in the Green Belt and the applicant has not fulfilled any of the obligations that was set out in the conditions of the original application to return some of the unlawful hardstanding into a meadow.
According to paragraph 5.11 Previously Developed Land: The land has not been lawfully developed and therefore it cannot be considered as previously developed land as per the appeal APP/N0410/W/22/33/00021 which was dismissed.
Paragraph 192 of the NPPF applies and there is a lack of biodiversity and geodiversity plans, and paragraph 187 of the NPPF also applies: which focuses on conserving and enhancing the natural environment, specifically addressing the importance of protecting and restoring biodiversity. It emphasizes the need to consider the impact of development on ecological networks and priority species, and to promote biodiversity in and around developments. There is no biodiversity report from the applicant.
Hereby Permits
PL/25/4265/FA Garvale, 36 Rogers Lane, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4LE.
Two storey rear and single storey front extensions.
Parish Comments: Object, Overdevelopment of the site, Policies EP3, H9 and H11 apply.
The proposed development, by virtue of a combination of its size, scale, massing and style, would appear over dominant, obtrusive and out of keeping. As such, it would have an adverse impact on the street scene and the character and visual amenities of the area.
The proposed works to the roof, by virtue of their scale, bulk and increase in height would not integrate or harmonise with the proportions or appearance of the existing dwelling. The resultant dwelling would also appear over dominant and out of keeping within the existing street scene, to the detrimental of the visual amenities of the site itself and the general character of the area. As such the proposal is contrary to saved policies EP3 and H11 and the guidance set out within Appendix 8 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999, Consolidated September 2007 and February 2011), policy CP8 of the South Bucks District Core Strategy and the requirements of National Planning Policy Framework.
Materials such as the zinc aluminium roof is out of keeping in the area. This is contrary to our recently adopted Neighbourhood Plan. Which can be found on our website.
LB01, LB03, LB04 & LB05.
The application form indicates no hedges or trees on the site withing falling distance, google street maps shows that there are mature hedges and several trees.
Please note that works commenced approx. 8 months ago, extensive works have taken place resulting breeches being reported.
Herby Permits
PL/26/00368/FA 38 Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4AD.
Double storey rear extension with alterations to roof and internal layout.
Parish Comments: No Comment
Hereby Permits
PL/25/6455/FA 42 Sefton Close, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4LJ
Ground Floor single storey extension.
Parish Comments: Object Policies EP3 and EP4 apply and is contrary to our adopted Neighbourhood Plan, LB03 & LB04.
This road has modest ex local authority houses which are uniformed and symmetrical in layout so this will be at odds in the street scene and vernacular.
Hereby Permits
PL/25/6437/FA 1 Mobbs Close, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4FF
Two storey side extension with internal alterations (amendment to planning permission ref: PL/25/4081/FA).
Parish Comments: Object, Policies EP3 & H9 apply. This is contrary to our adopted Neighbourhood Plan, LB03 and LB04 and Policy SP4.
This upsets the balance and symmetry of the whole development which sits adjacent to the Stoke Green conservation area. The development was originally built sympathetically to respect the Conservation area. Dwellings are of a moderate size. This house will not sit well with in the whole development.
Hereby Permits
PL/25/6818/FA 53 Freemans Close, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4ER
Two storey side infill extension together with extension of first floor over the garage.
Planning Comments: No Comment
Hereby Permits
PL/25/5421/FA 26 MH House, Lakeside Drive, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4LX
Construction of single storey side extension, internal alterations and detached garage to front of Plot 2.
Parish Comments: Object, Policies EP3, H9, H11, H13, Expl 8.59 page 121, all apply. As well as our neighbourhood plan design codes LB01, LB02 & LB03.
By virtue of its proposed scale, design and siting within the plot, the proposed detached garage building would appear as a prominent and obtrusive feature within the street scene. Given its overall height and footprint, the building would not be considered to appear very subordinate when viewed in the context of the dwelling on site and would rather appear as a competing feature not compatible with the character and amenities of the site itself, adjoining developments and the locality in general. The proposed development would result in the imposition of an alien feature such as that proposed within the local vernacular would cause further harm to the character and appearance of the street scene. As such, the proposal would be contrary to policies EP3 and H13 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999, Consolidated September 2007 and February 2011), policy CP8 of the South Bucks Core Strategy (adopted February 2011), the NPPF and the National Design Guide.
Hereby Permits
PL/26/01209/TP 38 Neville Close, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4AQ.
Reduce all lateral limbs by approximately 3 metres to manage spread while maintaining natural form and structural integrity and reduce by 2 metres the upper canopy to rebalance overall height and bring the crowns back into proportion x 3 Oak (T1-T3).
Parish Comments: No comment subject to the tree officer report.
Consent Granted.
PL/26/01152/FA Woodside, Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4AH
Erection of porch, ground and first floor rear extension, internal alterations including removal of chimney, loft conversion, alteration of roof to include rooflights to the front, rear and side planes.
The Parish Council objects to the proposal. Policies EP3, H9 and H11 apply, together with the Stoke Poges Neighbourhood Plan Design Codes LB03 and LB04 (pages 70–74). The proposal is also contrary to Appendix 8 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (Adopted March 1999).
It is considered that the proposed dormer, by virtue of its scale, bulk and design, would appear as a dominant and visually intrusive feature. It would be incongruous with the existing traditional roof form and surrounding development and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the dwelling and the wider area.
When assessed cumulatively with the proposed two-storey extensions, the development would result in a complex and excessively bulky roof form that would wrap around the original building. The dormer fails to demonstrate subservience to the original roof structure and would significantly alter the architectural balance of the property.
The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies EP3 and H11 and Appendix 8 of the Local Plan.
Furthermore, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires development to function well, add to the overall quality of the area, and be visually attractive as a result of good architecture, contributing to well-designed and beautiful places (Section 12). The proposal would constitute poor design and would fail to accord with Section 12 of the NPPF, Principle C1 of the National Design Guide, and the South Bucks Residential Design Guide.
The scheme also conflicts with the Design Guidance and Codes document associated with the Stoke Poges Neighbourhood Plan (submission stage).
For these reasons, the Parish Council considers the application should be refused.
