Telecoms equipment and outdoor seating for a cafe are in this week’s roundup of planning applications and decisions at Slough Borough Council and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

You can view each one by going to the relevant council’s planning website and searching for the application number provided.

Slough: telecoms equipment (TEL/2024/18)

Communications apparatus supporting radio equipment is to be installed on Farnham Road, a notice of works submitted to Slough Borough Council suggests.

Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructre ltd has informed the council it plans to install the equipment near 28 Farnham Road. The council has accepted the notification, although details were not available on its website at the time of press.

Slough: house extension (P/20515/000)

A front of house extension has been refused planning permission for being ‘discordant, jarring and incongruous’ to the rest of the house.

Plans for the extension on Carisbrooke Court were submitted to the council in May. Planning officers refused them saying they would harm the original ‘open plan nature’ of the court.

Slough: conservatory (P/09744/006)

A homeowner’s hopes to build a conservatory have been knocked back by Slough Borough Council.

Plans to build a conservatory behind a house on Masons Road were submitted to the council in June. But council planning officers refused the application on the grounds that it would be too large in proportion to the rest of the house.

RBWM: Cafe outdoor seating (24/01215/FULL)

A cafe in Ascot has been allowed to make its ‘ad hoc’ outdoor seating area permanent as part of an expansion.

Fego Cafe at The Hermitage on Ascot High Street plans to expand into a former hairdresser next door. It also asked for planning permission from the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead for permission to instal decking for an outdoor seating area.

Plans submitted to the council say the area has already been used for ‘ad hoc’ outdoor seating since the coronavirus pandemic, and that cafe owners now want to make this permanent.

RBWM: School games area (23/02778/FULL)

Pupils at Claires Court prep school in Maidenhead Thicket can look forward to a new outdoor sports facility after plans were approved.

Plans for the multi-use games area include three netball courts, three tennis courts and space to play football, hockey, basketball and lacrosse.

RBWM: Eton college bike shed (24/01217/FULL)

Pupils boarding at Eton College are to get a refurbished bike shed under plans approved by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

Plans say a new bike store will be built by an existing garage behind the Baldwin’s Bec boarding house. Plans say the current bike store, built in 1992, is in poor condition.
