A Bucks school will get a new dance studio in a garden room building if a new planning application is approved.

This is just one of the many applications considered by Buckinghamshire Council during the past seven days.

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

Erection of detached outbuilding, St Marys School, 94 Packhorse Road, Gerrards Cross (PL/24/0881/FA)

The independent school for girls aged three to 18 has applied for permission to build a garden room next to a hedge and existing sports area.

The school’s new building, which will be used as a dance studio, which will be built on a vacant plot that is ‘not currently being used for anything’.

The school’s application reads: “It is adjacent to a court which lies within the site boundary, but the area where the garden room is being built is not being used.”

Plans for the new dance studio states that it will measure 7.4m by 9m and be flanked by a sandstone walkway.

French doors and bi-folding doors will lead into the new room, which will have a wooden floor and full-length mirrors along one wall.

Installation of ground mounted solar array panels and air source heat pumps, Morlands Farm, Chinnor Road, Bledlow Ridge (24/05560/FUL)

Mr and Mrs Mitchard have been given permission for their plans to install a ‘solar array’ by the tennis court of the site.

This will be made up of 36 solar panels – 12 for the barn and 24 for the Grade II listed farmhouse – which will be mounted in pairs on metal rails with feet that will sit on ‘free draining’ gravel bases.

Meanwhile, three air source heat pumps will be located next to the granary, along the tall brick garden wall, behind existing vegetation to ‘minimise their visual impact’.

The application reads: “The farmhouse was once a part of a larger farm complex. The significance of the building lies in the architectural qualities and interest of the external form of the building and its surviving internal historic features.”

Demolition of existing building to create new properties with parking, and associated works, Joys Cottage, Windmill Road, Fulmer (PL/24/1010/FA)

Applicant Alasdair Macpherson of Black Horse Fulmer Limited has applied for permission to ‘create three family homes with planted gardens and communal courtyard parking’.

His application for the ‘underutilised site’, located just south of the M40 motorway, does not propose any changes existing access at the address.
