PL/26/03849/FA

Land Rear Of Beechwood Gap Woody Bay and Cherry Trees

Kingswood Road

Tylers Green

Buckinghamshire

 

Construction of new 4-bedroom house including demolition of existing timber storage building together with the construction of a 2 x car garage with rear storage for ground maintenance equipment and cycles. 

 

 

CWPC strongly objects to this application, and reiterates the reasons for objection to previous applications on this site.

Despite inadequate drawings being supplied on the application, it is clear the property would be out of keeping with neighbouring properties and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area.  It would therefore be overdevelopment of the site.

The site is located within an area TPO and unmitigated, irreversible damage to the ecology and arboriculture would occur during works, in addition to the impact shown on the plans for the completed project.

Should the officers be minded to approve the application, we request the application be called into the planning committee for determination.

M. Barkel and R. Awbery left the meeting at 12.20

Flackwell Heath

Buckinghamshire

HP10 9BY

Demolition of an existing dwellinghouse and the erection of a pair of semi-

Detached dwellings with associated vehicular access and parking.

CWPC objects to this application.

It would be overdevelopment of the site and out of keeping with neighbouring properties.

The additional traffic brought by the development would also impact the already inadequate junction of Fennels Way and Swains Lane.

Beech – Remove new low hanging branches from the lower canopy.

Loft conversion, three storey side extension, rear single storey extension, replacement porch, addition of front bay windows and removal of tile wall cladding and replacement with render.

CWPC strongly objects to this application.

It would be considerable overdevelopment of the site.

The removal of the tile cladding, replacement porch and third storey extension would be entirely out of keeping with the neighbouring properties and the overall street scene.

The proposed parking arrangement is unsuitable and would likely lead to on-road parking on/near a junction.

PL/26/04506/FA

Former Royal British Legion Club Queensmead Road Loudwater Buckinghamshire HP10 9TZ

Retention of mixed-use commercial development comprising ground floor storage/distribution (Class B8), office/commercial/business accommodation (Class E(g)(i)) and training/learning accommodation (Class F1), together with second-floor mezzanine accommodation, rooflights, revised external cladding/facade treatment, fenestration and glazing alterations, relocated bin and cycle stores, air conditioning condenser units, signage, EV charging infrastructure and associated operational works (retrospective)

This former British Legion site occupies a prominent position within the street scene at a key corner in Loudwater. The existing building cladding is considered an eyesore within the village, and its highly visible location, particularly alongside the war memorial, means that any proposed design should make a positive contribution to the street scene and respect the setting and significance of the war memorial.

Given the limited screening provided by existing vegetation, the proposed external materials and finishes will be clearly visible from the public realm. The use of bold-coloured cladding elements is considered inappropriate in this sensitive location and would fail to complement the surrounding built environment or enhance the character and appearance of the village.

CWPC also continues to raise concerns regarding the ongoing parking issues associated with the site. The proposal does not adequately address the existing shortfall in parking provision, and the resulting impact on the surrounding highway network and neighbouring streets remains a significant concern.

In view of the site’s prominent location and the concerns identified above, CWPC requests that this application be determined by the Planning Committee rather than under delegated powers.

 

 

  1. Questions from members

Cllrs Darch and Thomas highlighted that the Reg 19 Bucks Local Plan consultation opens on 23 July 2026 for six weeks.  Members are asked to consider the plan upon publication so that a response can be submitted prior to the deadline.  There was some discussion around whether comments would be shared via email, for a nominated member to then formalise, or whether an extra ordinary council meeting would be required.

 

The chairman thanked those present and closed the meeting at 12.46pm

 

Date & time of next meeting: Tuesday 28 July 2026 @ 12 noon, on Teams
