Dropmore Update

External work on the foundations, ground floor and mezzanine floor of Dropmore House has been completed. Work is in progress on the first floor. Plans submitted for a workshop, bat roost and accomodation for a maintenance cum security man have been approved by SBDC. This last was supported by the Parish Council on the condition that the residential accommodation be limited to use by security/maintenance personnel only. According to the architects the LPA has given notice that it proposes to approve proposals for the rehabilitation and extension of Taplow Lodge (also known as Lower Lodge), which falls within Wycombe District. The design of the rehabilitated Lodge reflects the original building and is most appropriate in the view of the Dropmore Society.

Design work is on hand for the restoration of Oak Lodge at the junction of Wooburn Common Road and Dropmore Road. The current proposal is to restore the Lodge to its original design, for which the architects have obtained drawings from the British Library, and to include a contemporary extension. Proposals have yet to be discussed with the Dropmore Society and submitted to SBDC
