Parish Comments: - No Comment
PL/26/03990/KA The Old Cottage, Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges, Bucks, SL2 4QN
T1) Thuja- Large - Fell to ground level - Reason for removal: Tree has outgrown the walled corner of client’s garden and is inhibiting the growth and their enjoyment of the purple maple. T2) Purple Maple - Crown reduce all round by 1.5m - Remove deadwood - As part of regular maintenance and good practice.
Parish Comments: - No Comment Subject to the Tree Officers report
PL/26/03685/FA The Bungalow, Wexham Street, Stoke Poges, Bucks SL3 6PA
Removal of existing roof and loft space and creation of new first floor with new roof.
Parish Comments: - Object This property is in a greenbelt settlement. We believe that EP3 and H11 apply. The windows will result in an over complicated and overly bulky roof form that would fail to offer any subservience to the original roof form. We further believe that LB03 of the Neighbourhood Plan Design Codes is relevant and Core Policy 2.
PL/26/03360/FA Molyns Cottage, Park Road, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4PE
Double storey side extension and first floor side extension of bathroom.
Parish Comments: - No Comment
PL/26/03967/FA 10 Sefton Close, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4LJ
Proposed Single Storey Side/Rear Extension and Proposed Rear Dormer.
Parish Comments: - No Comment
PL/26/03546/FA Mh House, Lakeside Drive, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4LX
Detached garage to front of the property.
Parish Comments: - Object
By virtue of its proposed scale, design and setting within the plot, the proposed detached triple garage would appear prominent and obtrusive within the street scene and the locality in general. We believe it is, therefore, contrary to Policies EP3 and H13.
Everything on the Ecology and Tree Checklist has been marked as ‘No’ but we would like to point out in fact several should have been ticked ‘YES’. For example:
- There is a pond within 250m
- There is a 1960s building within 200m
- There are many hedges
- There are at least three listed buildings surrounding the property
PL/26/03463/TP Sandiway, Park Road, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, SL2 4PA
