Application to replace home in Stoke Poges

In the public notices this week, there are some planning applications for South Bucks, as well as road closures in Windsor and Slough.

Planning

An application is in to replace a home in Stoke Poges, affecting the setting of a conservation area.

Dormer Cottage in Park Road would be set to have its outbuildings removed to the rear of Thanet House for a replacement home and one additional.

The whole site covers 4,040sqm and one three-bed home would be replaced by two four bed homes – the replacement building covering 171sqm, and the additional rear one covering 104sqm.

The total building footprint though will remain about the same – just four square meters smaller.

The new main building would have brickwork, external materials, ornate eaves, a front porch with ornate detailing and a new gable roof that match neighbouring listed buildings and the heritage site; as well as two new chimneys to make traditional features.

There would be a net loss in soft landscaping of about 400sqm and an increase in hardstanding of about 300sqm.
