Hereby Permits
PL/25/1906/FA Anand, Fir Tree Avenue, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4NN
Single Storey side and rear extension.
Parish Comments: Object, GB policies c & k. The form says no trees or hedgerows, but Google Earth clearly shows several mature trees on the entrance to the property. There are also hedgerows and a mature tree in the rear garden.
Hereby Permits
17/01905/FUL Stoke Court, Rogers Lane, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4LY
Part demolition at the rear and residential conversion of the existing Stoke Court mansion house and re
development of site to provide 61 residential units and associated access, parking and landscaping.
Parish Comments: - Our previous comments apply which were: -
Object policies TR7 and TR5 both apply
We have concerns regarding the number of parking spaces being provided for this development. Duffield Lane in particular is already suffering due to the loss of parking in Rogers Lane. This, and the school time parking issues, is already putting extreme pressure on the surrounding area. Duffield Lane has a blind bend which has become hazardous with cars parking on one side of the road. We do not believe there are enough spaces for the number of dwellings proposed for this site and visitors to the development. (61 dwellings and 117 car parking spaces).
Stoke Poges is a location totally lacking in any form of public transport. Cars are heavily relied on.
Also: -
The Parish Council agree that opening up Grays Walk is likely to attract more traffic as it may become an attractive place to visit/ walk. With the pressures of parking in this vicinity we would support the walk not being opened to the general public. The Parish Council also question who will be responsible for ongoing maintenance!
The Parish Council feel that in this instance extra parking on the proposed site is likely to be far more beneficial to the locality than the loss of GB. We would support this option looking at alternatives other than tarmac.
Hereby Permits
PL/25/2108/FA Carrillon, Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4PX
Erection of dwelling, creation of new vehicular access and hard and soft landscaping works.
Parish Comments: Object, our previous comments from a similar application last year which the planning authority refused still apply and were:
We agree that we need smaller stock housing however if minded to approve then we believe that all permitted development rights should be removed to prevent further development. We would draw the officer’s attention to this spot which floods for most of the winter, and Carrillon itself uses sandbags for most of the winter. A Traffic Management Plan for an already congested area for parking and from parking for the pub is required. Yellow lines have already been placed in Broom Hill where the entrance to this property is proposed.
The proposal fails to demonstrate that adequate ground investigations have been carried out in order to determine that the proposed sustainable drainage strategy is feasible for the onsite ground conditions, and that the proposed development would be resilient and resistant to the risk of flooding within the site. In the absence of sufficient information in this regard the proposal fails to demonstrate that Core Policy 13 of the South Bucks Core Strategy (adopted February 2011) is satisfied, as well as the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Reasons for refusal:
1.The proposed development, by virtue of its layout, design, height, width, depth and scale, would appear as a dominant and intrusive feature within the existing street scene of both Broom Hill and Hollybush Hill, whilst the proposed relationship with Carillon would make the resultant relationship appear cramped. These factors would be to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area, including its spaciousness. Accordingly, the proposal would conflict with Policies EP3 and H9 of the Local Plan, Policy CP8 of the Core Strategy, Paragraph 6.1.7 of the Council's Residential Design Guide, Section 12 of the NPPF and Section C1 of the National Design Guide, which collectively and amongst other matters, state that development will only be permitted where its scale, layout and siting are compatible with the character of the site and locality, and poor designs will not be permitted.
2. Inadequate ecological information has been submitted with the application, and it has not been possible to fully assess the impact of the proposal on biodiversity including the impact of the proposed development on protected species. The application has therefore failed to demonstrate how wildlife will not be harmed, as well as failing to demonstrate how net gain for biodiversity will be obtained and is therefore contrary to Core Policy CP9 of the South Bucks Core Strategy (adopted February 2011) and the guidance set out in the NPPF.
3. The occupants of the proposal would add to the recreational disturbance of the Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation as the proposal would not contribute satisfactorily to mitigate its impacts in this respect. In the absence of a planning obligation to secure suitable strategic access management and monitoring, to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority, the proposal is contrary to Core Policy 9 of the South Bucks Core Strategy (adopted February 2011), Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation Strategic Access Management and Monitoring Strategy SPD, and Section 15 of the NPPF.
We refer you to our newly adopted neighbourhood plan which can be viewed on our website.
Sections LB01 and LB04 apply.
Hereby Refuse Permission.
PL/25/2920/FA Lynfield, Wexham Street, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL3 6PA
Demolishing of existing single garage and erection of new detached flat roofed double garage.
HEREBY REFUSED BEFORE WE GOT TO COMMENT!!!
