3. Applications 1. PL/20/1730/FA 25 Grangewood Wexham Part single/part two storey rear extension, garage conversion with change of door to window, insertion of first floor side window.

comments: With reference to GB10 and 11 - extensions to and rebuilding within the Green Belt, this proposal to change the garage to a room with windows looking on to the main road would seriously affect the characteristics of nearby properties of the road. It can be seen that none of the homes have been converted with windows for this purpose and if the application were to move forward then it would set a precedent for the whole road.

comments: no objections or comments.

4. PL/20/1494/FA Pippins 8 Church Grove Wexham Demolition of outbuilding, single storey rear and side extension, roof alterations including rear dormer and front and side roof lights and front porch.

comments: we object to this application in that the length, width and height of the new build would cause a loss to the openness of the Green Belt. The size is an over development of the building which is contrary to the Local Plan section GB1 & GB10

5. PL/20/1685/FA Land South of Rowley Lane Wexham residential development consisting of 5 no. dwellings with associated access and landscaping, following demolition of existing buildings associated with the livery and storage uses on site.

comments:

The application is sited within the Green Belt and as it does not comply with GB1, by totally effecting the characteristics of the surrounding area. GB2 , as the buildings would be totally demolished and not refurbished for use. GB3, there is no “limited infilling” with this application, on that basis it goes totally against the Policy. GB9, as the proposals would compromise the overriding aim of the Green Belt in that the character and amenities of the area to one of Urbanisation. GB11, This application is not for a single existing dwelling to be rebuilt, but a community to be built, totally against the Local Green Belt Policy. The Planning Policy Guidelines (PPG2) states that planning will only be given where ”exceptional circumstances exist” there are none in this application. We therefore object to this Planning application.
