Having had previous refusals on the site for a detached dwelling, Warner Planning were appointed to submit a revised planning application to Buckinghamshire Council for the demolition of existing structures on the site and the erection of a large bungalow with detached garage and storage.
The site is an underutilised area of private garden where the existing outbuildings are in a poor state of repair. The revised application responded to the previous reason for refusal as well as the more recent Pre Application advice with a proposal for a smaller dwelling in terms of size, scale, bulk and mass in comparison to the previously refused application whilst still meeting the clients brief for the project.
The proposed design was considered by the case officer to respect the character and appearance of the immediate and wider area.
More trees are to be retained on the site than on the previous application which aids in the screening of the development from the open countryside and the proposed dwelling has been relocated within the plot to sit entirely within the perceived settlement boundary.
With a proposed 10% Biodiversity Net Gain on site, the development was deemed to be in accord with Local and National Policies and the application was recommended for approval subject to conditions.
