An acupuncturist’s plan to fly in clients via aircraft has been torn apart after being savaged by neighbours.

This is just one of the many applications decided on by Buckinghamshire Council over the past seven days.

To view more details for each application, go to the council’s planning portal with the reference number attached.

Bid for airport-to-acupuncture clinic withdrawn after complaints, 12 Station Road Marlow (23/07157/FUL)

Plans for an acupuncture clinic in Marlow, which involved picking clients up from the airport, have been withdrawn.

The applicant said his wife, “a well-regarded Chinese acupuncture doctor” wanted to set up her own “discreet” centre/wellness clinic in their three-bedroom terraced home.

A “limited number of patients” would have used the clinic, including some with early-stage dementia and Alzheimer’s on a charitable basis.

Some patients would be “picked up from the station or airport” the application said, adding that there were no plans to provide parking.

One neighbour said the plan to fly in clients was “highly unusual” and “environmentally concerning”, while another said the lack of parking would pose a “significant challenge for residents”.

Health centre transformation, Harlow House, Harlow Road, High Wycombe (23/07546/FUL)

A former NHS health centre that has stood vacant since 2019 will be transformed so it can be used as offices.

The council has approved work on the loft of Harlow House, which previously offered Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

Plans for the site, just off London Road, include adding 20 Velux windows to allow the top floor to be used as storage related to the office, although “no new office space is proposed”.

Plan for new home refused, Three Corners Piece, Granborough Road North Marston (23/03165/APP)

Plans to demolish agricultural buildings and replace them with a three-bedroom home have been refused.

Proposals for the site, in between the villages of North Marston and Granborough, also included providing a car port and agricultural store.

Planning officers raised concerns about the size of the proposed development for the site, which is currently used for residential and agricultural purposes.
