Planning committee

Decided by Buckinghamshire West Buckinghamshire Area Planning Committee on 10 Jun 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised permission because the kiosk was ancillary to Tesco and would not harm parking, residents, heritage, highways, ecology or flooding.
  • The parish council and 41 residents objected, mainly citing competition with High Street businesses, parking pressure and visual impact.
  • The committee granted conditional permission after a proposal and seconding motion.

Site constraints 6

Princes Risborough conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Former Wycombe Rural District - Poultry Production. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Scheduled monument about 168 m away: The Mount; 5 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Princes Risborough built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
