The planning statement reads despite ‘considerable financial investment and improvements’ being made to the property over the last few years, Covid-19 and a new competition resulted in the pub shutting down.

The existing caravan site could see an extension as an applicant wants to expand the site, compromising one mobile and one touring caravan.

The current site has four pitches. If approved, this will take the total number of pitches to nine.

The planning statement reads: “The purpose of the proposal is to seek to remedy an ongoing breach of planning control, but to also make provision for the existing site occupants and their future need.”

Developer tries again to build a new apartment after several refusals at 56-58 Sycamore Road, Amersham, Buckinghamshire (PL/22/2695/FA).

A new bid has been made for the development of a detached two-storey two-bedroom flat with live/work home office space, refuse storage, and two car parking spaces.

Since then, the plan has been scaled down in a bid to ease concerns and has increased its car parking spaces to seven to serve the existing retail unit, existing apartment, and the proposed flats.

It has also been redesigned to make the building more in keeping with the area.
