| 25/06309 |
The Royal British Legion Common Road Flackwell Heath Buckinghamshire HP10 9NS |
Demolition of existing Royal British Legion building and construction of three storey apartment block comprising 2 x 1-bed and 7 x 2-bed apartments (9 x units in total), with associated car parking, bin/cycle stores and associated works |
CWPC strongly objects to this planning application for the following reasons: · There is insufficient parking for the intended number of residents. The suggestion of using nearby parking bays situated by the neighbouring shops and takeaways is not acceptable as this road has restricted parking. · The lounge window for one of the ground floor flats will have all pedestrian traffic to and from the main entrance at a distance of less than one metre. Therefore severely impacting on privacy and noise. · Another of the ground floor flats will have the lounge and bedroom windows facing the solid brick wall of the Swim Street building. The lounge and bedroom windows of the flat above will also look directly onto the Swim Street building. This will seriously and unacceptably impact the visual amenity of the flat occupants.
CWPC do not object to the site being developed but it must be the right scheme for the location. In addition, the RBL was an asset of community value which has been lost. There should therefore be a S106 contribution applied to this development for the provision of additional community facilities elsewhere. If Buckinghamshire Council are minded to allow the application, then we ask that the application be called in for determination. |
| 25/06220 |
15 Chapel Road Flackwell Heath Buckinghamshire HP10 9AA |
Householder application for construction of two storey front extension, two storey rear extension, new raised roof, roof extensions/alterations, front porch, front gates and associated external alterations |
CWPC strongly objects to the proposal of the use of solid gates at the entrance to the site. There are no gated properties in this part of Flackwell Heath and the proposal would be completely out of character with the surrounding homes. The gates used should be see-through (wrought iron, for example) and it is strongly urged that the gates be positioned further within the site to enable vehicles to drive clear of the road whilst opening. CWPC makes no comment regarding the plans for the house itself. |

Land Rear Of 21 Chapman Lane Flackwell Heath Buckinghamshire HP10 9AZ |
Erection of two detached three bedroom bungalows at the land rear of 21 Chapman Lane with associated parking and new access |
CWPC strongly objects to this planning application for the following reasons: · It is an overdevelopment of the site. · It is a back garden development which is against local policy. · The driveway access is too restricted for residents and delivery vehicles, and especially for emergency service vehicles. · First floor windows will impact on neighbour privacy. If Buckinghamshire Council are minded to allow the application, then we ask that the application be called in for determination. |
| 25/06533 |
Land Adjacent Hilltop Hammersley Lane High Wycombe Buckinghamshire |
Application for Permission in Principle for residential development of two residential units, construction of footpath from Hammersley Lane into land allocated under Policy HW6 of the Wycombe Local Plan and provision for land transfer of green infrastructure land, allocated under Policy HW6 of the Wycombe Local Plan |
CWPC strongly objects to this planning application, and is agreement with the inspector’s comments regarding the previous application. This would be an inappropriate over-development of Green Belt land, which should be protected. If Buckinghamshire Council are minded to allow the application, then we ask that the application be called in for determination. |
