®Planning appeal decision
1 The Green Seer Green Lane, Jordans, Beaconsfield, HP9 2ST
Planning appeal 3359112 at 1 The Green Seer Green Lane, Jordans, Beaconsfield, HP9 2ST (Buckinghamshire Council - South Bucks Area *) was dismissed on 7 July 2025 by Inspector Philpott M, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the listed building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.
‘a single-storey rear extension in an ‘Orangery’ style. It would principally be constructed with brick masonry walls, with these being inset with painted timber framing and generous glazing in two elevations. There would also be a feature cornice detail and a flat roof with centrally positioned glazed lantern feature. A single-storey front infill extension is also proposed. It would be constructed of brickwork with a tiled lean-to hipped roof. This extension would be set back from both the front and side gable-end elevations in a subservient manner. It would be much smaller than the flat-roofed, single-storey, non-subservient front extension at neighbouring attached property no.2’
