Variation of condition 6 (plans) attached to 19/06577/MINAMD (Proposed non-material amendment for demolition of conservatory and construction of two storey side/rear extension/annexe comprising of 2 bedrooms and living accommodation ancillary to main dwelling granted under householder planning ref: 19/05909/FUL) and to condition 4 (materials) of 19/05909/FUL to allow for the works to be carried out in accordance with drawings VLEL 03 and VLEL 04 rev.B (retrospective).

The application was the subject of a site visit.

Members noted an update in relation to this application.

Members voted in favour of the motion to refuse the application for the following reason:

In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed development, by virtue of the poor quality flint work used in its construction, would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Northend Conservation Area. The development appeared incongruous in its setting and thus, was also visually intrusive in this part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As such the development conflicts with Policies CP9, CP11, DM30 and DM31 of the adopted Wycombe District Local Plan and the Householder Planning and Design Guidance SPD.

Speaking on behalf of Turville Parish Council: Cllr Alice Nuttgens.

It was proposed by Councillor D Johncock and seconded by Councillor M Turner.

            Resolved: that the application be refused for the reason given above.

Erection of single storey infill extension to south, 4-storey extension to north and second floor side extension with alterations to building to provide 12 additional bedrooms, new main and level entrance, creation of rear and front garden with improvements to the external appearance of the building and associated works.

This application was the subject of a site visit.

Members noted an update in relation to this application.

Members voted unanimously in favour of the motion that they were minded to refuse the application.

Members heard a statement from Councillor A Baughan, Ward Member, which was read out by the Democratic Services Officer.

It was proposed by Councillor N Marshall and seconded by Councillor D Johncock.

Resolved: That, had the application not been the subject of an appeal, the application would have been refused for the reasons set out in the officers report.

Demolition of existing dwelling and construction of 1 x 5-bed replacement dwelling.

This application was the subject of a site visit.

Members voted in favour of the motion to refuse the application for the following reason:

In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposed development would result in a bulky and out of scale dwelling within the street scene of Fennels Way. The proposed replacement dwelling would result in an overdevelopment of the site which due to its proposed height, bulk and mass would dominate the neighbouring bungalow at No. 52 Fennels Way. The proposed development would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area and therefore fails to comply with Policies CP9 and DM35 of the adopted Wycombe District Local Plan (2019) and the Residential Design Guidance SPD.

Speaking on behalf of the Chepping Wycombe Parish Council: Cllr Alec Barron

It was proposed by Councillor D Johncock and seconded by Councillor M Turner.

This application was the subject of a site visit.
