Plans to install 150 solar panels and batteries on land in South Buckinghamshire have been shelved.
This is just one of the many applications considered by Buckinghamshire Council during the past seven days.

Solar panel site shelved, land to the rear of Prestwick Place, St Huberts Lane, Gerrards Cross (PL/24/1942/FA)
Mrs Lue-Fong had applied to the council for planning permission to fit 150 solar panels on a metal frame system in a field with a shed to include a battery ‘back-up system’.
However, council officers said this week that her plans to install the renewable energy technology had been withdrawn and her file had therefore been closed.
The applicant’s proposed panels and other equipment would have served Prestwick Place, a private house to the south of the application site.
Plans read: “This application seeks to continue the sustainable objectives of the ongoing works to the Prestwick Place, that saw the replacement of the old oil-fired boiler with a heat pump, by installing an array of photovoltaic panels.”
The applicant added that the aim was for Prestwick Place to become energy ‘self-sufficient’ and ‘off-grid’ for more than three quarters of the year.
New storage building on farmland adjoining Denham Avenue, Denham (PL/24/2856/AGN)
Plans to build an agricultural storage building have been refused due to the site being too close to Denham Aerodrome, the perimeter of which is around 1.6 kilometres away.
Officers said Hughes Farming could not put up the 8m high structure due to a policy preventing buildings of more than 3 metres within 3 kilometres of an aerodrome.
The building, the applicant said, would have been used to store hay, straw and feed as part of plans to expand the farm’s current heard of 62 cattle.
Farming machinery including a tractor, muckspreader, JCB pallet telehandler and a bale trailer would also have been kept inside the storage facility.
Plans for new swimming pool, Abbotsfield, Ferry Lane, Medmenham (24/07182/FUL)
Mr Djamshid Ghavami has asked the council for permission to build the ‘in-ground’ pool at his modernist two-storey home Abbotsfield, which Savills described as an ‘outstanding architectural masterpiece’.
The proposed reinforced concrete pool, which will feature a ‘seating ledge’, measures 12 metres long by 5 metres wide and 1.4 metres deep.
Plans state: “To the north, south and west are large residential dwellings with large gardens, many of which have tennis courts and swimming pools in their rear gardens.”
