13/00851/FUL Replacement Windows and Door to Front Elevation at 101 APP11 Application Number: 13/00851/FUL Minor Replacement windows and door to front elevation AT 101 Green Lane, Wolverton, Milton Keynes FOR Mr And Mrs Burton Target: 7th June 2013 Ward: Wolverton Parish: Wolverton & Greenleys Town Council Report Author/Case Officer: Miss Sakina Dossaji Contact Details: 01908 252242 [email protected] Head of Team: Alex Harrison Contact Details: 01908 252608 [email protected] 1.0 INTRODUCTION (A brief explanation of what the application is about) 1.1 The Site The application site is a two-storey Victorian terraced dwelling located in Wolverton Conservation Area. Details of the location of the site and its relationship to surrounding properties can be seen in the plans attached to this report. 1.2 The Proposal Planning permission was initially sought for the replacement of the front door and windows to the front elevation of the property. Upon consultations with Council Officers, the applicant has removed the front door element of the scheme from the proposal. Therefore the current application now seeks consent to install white UPVC double glazed replacement windows. Details of the proposal as described above can be seen in the plans appended to this report. 2.0 RELEVANT POLICIES (The most important policy considerations relating to this application) 2.1 National Policy National Planning Policy Framework Section 7: Requiring Good Design 2.2 Local Policy Adopted Milton Keynes Local Plan 2001-2011 D1 – Impact of Development Proposals on Locality; D2 – Design of Buildings; HE6 – Conservation Areas 3.0 MAIN ISSUES (The issues which have the greatest bearing on the decision) 3.1 Whether or not the development will cause significant harm to the amenity of the Conservation Area. The main concern is the replacement of the timber front door which would result in the loss of this original feature to the historical character of the dwelling. To address these concerns the applicant has omitted the front door from the scheme and therefore it is considered the proposal to replace the windows is acceptable. 4.0 RECOMMENDATION (The decision that officers recommend to the Committee) 4.1 It is recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out at the end of this report. 5.0 CONSIDERATIONS (An explanation of the main issues that have lead to the officer Recommendation) 5.1 Impact of the Proposal on the Character and Appearance of the Conservation Area The application to replace the existing windows to UPVC double glazed windows is not considered to result in a detrimental harm to the amenity value of the Conservation Area. Many of the properties within this section of Green Lane have replacement windows which do not add any merit to the amenity of the Conservation Area. Although the proposed windows do not exactly match the appearance of traditional windows it is considered the installation of vertical sash sliding windows would result in an acceptable design which would preserve the character of the original dwelling. 5.2 The Council's Conservation Team were notified of the application and had no objection to the replacement of the windows. Concerns were raised regarding the proposal to replace the front door which has now been omitted from the current application. 6.0 CONDITIONS (The conditions that need to be imposed on any planning permission for this development to ensure that the development is satisfactory. To meet legal requirements all conditions must be Necessary, Relevant, Enforceable, Precise and Reasonable ) 1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. Reason: To prevent the accumulation of planning permissions; to enable the Local Planning Authority to review the suitability of the development in the light of altered circumstances; and to comply with section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. (D11) Appendix to 13/00851/FUL A1.0 RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY (A brief outline of previous planning decisions affecting the site – this may not include every planning application relating to this site, only those that have a bearing on this particular case) A1.1 None. A2.0 ADDITIONAL MATTERS (Matters which were also considered in producing the Recommendation) A2.1 None. A3.0 CONSULTATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS (Who has been consulted on the application and the responses received. The following are a brief description of the comments made. The full comments can be read via the Council’s web site) Comments Officer Response A3.1 Conservation And Archaeology The windows currently in position at the premises are of no Noted merit and I have no objection in principle to their loss. A3.2 The timber door is early or original to the premises and Noted. Para 1.2 matches the one of the adjacent property, albeit that at 103 has had the central muntin board removed. The doors are integral to the design of modest terraced houses and a feature that lends itself to decoration. Victorian builders tended to use doors and windows and applied ornament to good advantage and, as such, these details are particularly useful in interpreting the level of provision for, and status of, householders from the grand to the more modest. Victorian and Edwardian society tended to be very particular about position and standing and this is reflected in the housing standards. Loss of minor details can therefore do disproportionate harm to the potential to interpret individual houses, rows, streets and, indeed, whole areas. A3.3 Due to the harm to local character and significance that the Noted. Paras 1.2 and 5.2 loss of even a modest original detail can cause I advise of an objection in principle to the proposed door replacement. I do not consider the suggested benefits outweigh the council’s duty to give ‘great weight’ to the conservation of designated heritage assets (in this instance the Wolverton Conservation Area) and that the proposals run contrary to the community’s intention to protect positive elements of detail through the use of the Article 4(2) Direction. A3.4 Irrespective of the above objection I have looked at the Noted. Para 5.1 MKLP D2, HE6 detail of the application and note that the proposed replacement windows are double glazed and of plastic material but that they incorporate a vertically hung sliding sash mechanism. Although elements of the design for the windows are strongly at variance to traditional windows I conclude that the introduction of a sliding sash mechanism outweighs those concerns and that overall the design represents a marginal improvement to the character or appearance of the conservation area. A3.5 Wolverton & Greenleys Town Council No objection to window replacement but object to the door The scheme no longer proposed to replace the timber door. through loss of original timber. The Town Council were re-consulted of the amended scheme, however the Town Council have not confirmed to withdrawing their objection. A3.6 Local Residents The occupiers of the following properties were notified of the application: • 91 – 107 (odd) and 111 Green Lane Wolverton Milton Keynes • 47 Oxford Street Wolverton Milton Keynes A3.7 No comments have been received. Noted. .

  • ANNEX a to ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy
    ANNEX A TO ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy - Executive Summary Key Principles Use & activities Currently, Bletchley town centre remains comparatively unattractive to property developers and occupiers. The environment is out dated and creates a negative image for the town and its communities; reducing its ability to attract significant investment. This in turn has led to less people using the centre, creating lower expenditure and investment within the town. Bletchley needs to move forward from its existing primary role as a discount and value retailing location and strengthen its role as the second centre for the city of Milton Keynes. The challenge for the Framework is to create the conditions for Bletchley to promote itself as a place quite distinctive from the rest of Milton Keynes, yet complementary to CMK in its scale and richness of uses and activities. Achieving this will require the town to increase the diversity, quality and range of uses and activities offered in the centre. The Framework promotes the growth of key uses and activities including diversified mixed-use development; new retailing opportunities; residential town centre living; an evening economy with a range of restaurants, bars and cafes; employment opportunities to stimulate appropriate town centre employment; a new leisure centre and cultural and civic uses to fulfil Central Bletchley’s role as the city’s second centre. Access and Movement Pedestrian movement and cycle access throughout Central Bletchley is severely constrained by highly engineered road infrastructure, the railway station and sidings and through severance of Queensway caused by the Brunel Centre. Congested double roundabouts at Watling Street and Buckingham Road offer poor arrival points into the town and restrict car access into Bletchley.

    Understanding Historic Parks and Gardens in Buckinghamshire The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust Research &Recording Project Stony Stratford Cemetery, Calverton Road October 2020 Roland Callingham Foundation 0 Bucks Gardens Trust: Stony Stratford Cemetery, Milton Keynes, October 2020 HISTORIC SITE BOUNDARY 1 Bucks Gardens Trust: Stony Stratford Cemetery, Milton Keynes, October 2020 2 Bucks Gardens Trust: Stony Stratford Cemetery, Milton Keynes, October 2020 INTRODUCTION Background to the Project This site dossier has been prepared as part of The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust (BGT) Research and Recording Project, begun in 2014. This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council (BCC) in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (now Historic England) (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not definitive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained by BGT in appraising designed landscapes. Each dossier includes the following for the site: • A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph. • A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework and including an overview.

  • Wards of Olney Keys Left in Vehicles? Traka21 Takes Control
    Wards of Olney Keys left in vehicles? Traka21 takes control Experience a safer and more open world Case Study Wards of Olney are Buckinghamshire’s largest Independent Removal and Storage Company, also operating in Milton Keynes, Bedford & Northampton, UK. Wards is an established name in both commercial and residential removals, undertaking work for many large organisations such as the NHS, ranging from small office removals to large clinics, to helping families to move house in a stress free a way. Requirement Key control of fleet vehicles has always been a headache for Wards. On some occasions, members of staff were leaving keys hidden in the vehicle, resulting in considerable amounts of time being lost searching for keys and missed appointments. Wards needed a system to account for all their keys. In addition to these requirements, Wards also needed control over who could access their exterior storage containers. Why Traka21 Traka21’s innovative plug and play system provides the very latest in intelligent key management. Simple, efficient and cost effective, Traka21 helps trace and account for every key or keyset, which is individually locked in place, ensuring that critical business operations are never jeopardised. Since the introduction of Traka21, Wards has seen a dramatic improvement in efficiency around managing and controlling their keys. Drivers are no longer searching for keys and have become more accountable for keys they are using. “We have found Traka21 to be a great tool for our business. With Traka21, we can keep tabs on who had what and when, and it also helps us in accounting for what hours they have worked.
