A family of swimming instructors previously refused permission for private lessons at their Bucks home due to ‘traffic concerns’ have submitted a revised scheme.

Kirsten, Lars, and Laura Sevenus, of Laura Sevenus Swimming Tuition (LSST), have submitted to Bucks Council a ‘change of use’ application for Mardan Ville, on Mill Lane, in Chalfont St Giles.

Plans detail the ‘use of an integral swimming pool to facilitate the provision of private swimming lessons’.

It is understood the property is a residential one.

There is also mention of ‘alterations to the lower car park, including rolled bark chip and a new tarmac footpath’.

There are 14 existing car parking spaces, but those will go down to eight, according to council documents.

Works got underway in April, but are still incomplete, documents state.

Opening hours will be Monday to Friday, 9am-6.30pm, and Saturday, 9am-2.30pm.

A previous application was refused, and a subsequent appeal dismissed in September 2020, ‘principally over traffic movements’.

Under a revised application, the applicants have put forward “a way of operating that would not harm residential amenity”.

Adding: “The proposal is…to place a limit on the total number of children/places per week to a maximum of 200, and within that, work on a basis of allowing an absolute maximum of 33 children per day.”

Council planning officers will now decide what becomes of the application.
