Planning Update – April 2021

Since the last report:-

The Forum commented on one significant planning application from Pyrford Place Farm Estate Pyrford Road for “Proposed resurfacing of yard area and erection of replacement washing bay structure following demolition of the existing.” The objection was made as the site is in the Green Belt and current planning use is only for purposes ancillary to the Pyrford Golf Club

One significant decision made since the March update was to refuse the proposed “detached oak framed boat house” at The Old House Pyrford Road

New application of interest in Green Belt is at Pyrford Golf Club Warren Lane for “proposed floating composite structure and bridge on existing lake to provide pontoon style seating”.

Boat House, Pyrford Place – Demolition of existing boathouse & erection of a two-storey boathouse. A previous application was refused.

Planning Note:

“Prior Approval” is a new type of planning regulation that is a permitted development right. There are conditions that need to be met, but in principle, for detached houses, up to two additional storeys can be erected on the topmost storey of the house, or one additional storey on a detached house of one storey. Under the regulations only adjacent neighbours are normally entitled to comment.
