Our objection will stand until the developer explains where people will park!

Bucks HP10 8DL Erection of 1 x 3 bed detached dwelling house and dropped kerb CWPC object to this application for four reasons:
• it is an overdevelopment of the site
• it will have a negative impact on the privacy of 48a New Road
• we are concerned that the new access road onto New Road is impractical; it would be very narrow and the area is currently used for parking for the existing house. We also have concerns that this would leave inadequate parking for the existing house.
• This is essentially a 4 bed house with one bedroom called a study, is there sufficient parking for this & is the parking area sufficient for turning and parking.

22/06487 Outline application for Amersham and Wycombe College, Spring Lane, Flackwell Heath
CWPC objects to this planning application. Although the development is in keeping with the village and in principle a good design, we have serious concerns over the access road. Cars, and probably coaches, should not have to use the through road to access the adjoining sports pitches.
The car park to serve the sports pitches is also too small. We also have concerns with the proposed level of parking for the dwellings which may result in the parking for the sports pitch being used as an unofficial overflow parking area for residents. The Buckinghamshire Council requirement for parking spaces seems to treat those who are living in ‘so-called’ affordable homes as not requiring the same level of parking provision as those in more affluent houses.
With the projected increase in traffic entering and leaving the development, we have concerns over the junction of Spring Lane and Heath End Rd and look forward to the report from Highways with interest. We are also concerned with the increase in traffic in Daws Hill and subsequently the junction with it and Daws Hill Lane.
We are disappointed that photovoltaic panels will only be installed on the roofs of the two apartment blocks and two ‘flats over garages’ and not to all dwellings (Sustainability & Energy Statement).
We are also concerned that the play area (100m2) may be inadequate in area if it is to meet the Play England Local Play Area recommendations.
Should the Local Planning Authority be minded to approve this application, we would request that this be brought before the planning committee for determination.
