Plans to build eight new homes in High Wycombe have been refused, while a forthcoming film site in Chalfont is set to be changed.

These are just some of the many applications considered by Buckinghamshire Council during the past seven days.

New homes refused, 91 Mayhew Crescent and to the rear of 83 to 93 Mayhew Crescent, High Wycombe (24/06960/PIP)

RAP Bluebell Ltd planned to build four pairs of three-bedroom semi-detached houses – eight in total – with dedicated parking.

Access to the new properties would have been from Mayhew Crescent, following the demolition of 91 Mayhew Crescent and remediation works to number 93.

But planning officers refused the application this week, saying that the applicant had provided ‘insufficient information’ to show that the project would not have a negative impact upon protected species.

Planners also suggested that the site was not big enough to accommodate eight new homes and a vehicular access, claiming that the submitted plans were similar to a previous application for seven houses that was refused.

Councillor Tony Green said of the plans: “This site is unsuitable for a residential development. It is a constrained site, and any development would put pressure on existing residents.

“The site is small, and this would be an over development and would exacerbate parking issues in the area. The access road is too narrow and would cause a noise and pollution nuisance to the residents on either side.”

Changes to new film site, Cross Lane Farm, Lodge Lane, Little Chalfont (PL/24/2770/VRC)

A film company that has worked on titles including No Time to Die, Game of Thrones and Avengers: Infinity War, has proposed changes to its forthcoming new premises in Little Chalfont.

Digital Orchard, which provides digital imaging and video playback services, was given permission for a new post-production facility in July.

But the company has now asked the council for permission to vary its approved floorplans to remove the library and office, which together measure 400 metres square.

This is so the firm can increase the size of the proposed kit room from 416 to 850 metres square, resulting in a small increase in the overall volume of the site.

New homes at Cock Lane Water Pumping Station, Cock Lane, High Wycombe (24/06867/OUT)

K M P Surrey Quays Ltd has submitted outline plans to build nine detached and semi-detached homes with a new access road at the site.

Thames Water previously owned the site, which the applicant describes as ‘essentially a vacant brownfield site’, which is ‘now largely overgrown’.

Plans read: “The proposed scheme presents a prestigious gated development, with a cluster of detached four-bed family houses, in a traditional farmhouse style, with on-site parking, private amenity and accessible vehicle and pedestrian routes.”
