Flackwell Heath
Bucks HP10 9BH Reduce to previous pruning points to 3 Hornbeams (T1) resulting in overall reduction of 1.5m across to whole crown, reduce to previous pruning points an Oak Tree (T2) resulting in overall reduction of 1.5m across to whole crown, reduce to previous pruning points a Sycamore Tree (T3) resulting in overall reduction of 1.5m across to whole crown & reduce a Hornbeam Tree (T4) at boundary by 1.5m Neutral comment
The trees are situated to the rear of the property and hence are not visible when looking from the front. They are however visible at a distance if viewed from the furthest point following the side boundary where it is clear they form part of the wooded backdrop to the property. We will have no objection to this work if the Tree Officer agrees that the proposed pruning points are suitable and the work is carried out by an approved contractor.

Bucks HP10 9BU
Erection of one detached two storey 4-bed dwelling with bin stores & detached single garage to front, associated landscaping & car parking. Insertion of a velux window to rear roof slope of existing bungalow
Neutral comment
This is a large corner site where the existing dwelling is situated towards the front corner of the site, its side elevation being very close to the boundary with no. 36; hence there is a very substantial garden. This is bordered by trees which contribute to the vernal appearance of the area. We are pleased to see it is proposed that these should remain with the exception of those in front of the existing dwelling, none of which are protected, where it is proposed to plant a hedge.
The proposed chalet bungalow would be of similar proportions to the existing dwelling and the positioning is such that overlooking would be minimal.
In principle we have no objection to the development of the site to include the proposed chalet bungalow if the Case Officer is minded to approve the application and Bucks Highways are satisfied the enlargement of the entrance and drop curb are appropriate.

17 Rugwood Road
Flackwell Heath
Bucks HP10 9HA Householder application for erection of single storey side/rear extension Neutral comment
The proposed side/rear extension appears to follow the boundary line between it and no. 15, consequently it widens down the length of the property being at its narrowest at the front. Being narrow when looking from the front it looks in keeping with the rest of the property and does not appear overbearing. Given the relationship of it to the neighbouring properties and being only single storey we do not see a privacy issue hence we have no objection should the Case Officer be minded to approve the development.
