A Grade II listed Wycombe pub restaurant dating to the 1500s is to be refurbished if new plans are approved.

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

Crown Inn refurbishment, Church Road, Penn, Wycombe (PL/24/1199/HB)

Greene King has put forward fresh plans to spruce up the 16th century boozer and restaurant after its previous plans were refused in 2022.

The hospitality chain has applied for listed building consent to carry out repairs at the pub, which dates to 1577.

Its plans include refurbishing the existing metal framed casement windows and dismantling an external chimney stack so it can be rebuilt.

The applicant also wants to carry out a ‘like for like’ replacement of decayed brickwork, as well as prop up and rebuild a failed arch over a door opening and install oak support posts and a steel beam behind a sagged timber beam over the fireplace.

New drama studio and café at St Marys School, 94 Packhorse Road, Gerrards Cross (PL/24/0904/FA)

Jason Randall of Hickleberry Ltd has applied to extend the existing science block across two stories to replace the drama studio, once it has been demolished.

Asbestos cladding was found last year on the 1940s timber studio, which is now ‘coming to the end of its life’.

The first floor of the building will house a replacement drama studio and two classrooms, while the ground floor will host a café for fifth and sixth form pupils, parents and visitors, as well as a new classroom and toilets.

The building will be linked to the main manor house via a glass walkway.

Continued use of the marquee at Missenden Abbey, High Street, Great Missenden (PL/24/0387/FA)

The abbey can continue to use its marquee for another five years, planners have said.

Planning documents say the marquee has ‘enhanced the attraction of the abbey as a wedding venue’, which has contributed to the upkeep of the listed building.

The application adds: “Functions held in the marquee account for approximately one third of the annual income of the abbey.”
