A new cul-de-sac and a private hire firm 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 council’s planning website and searching for the application number provided.

Slough: new cul-de-sac (P/02690/007)

A developer wants permission to build a new cul-de-sac of four homes on a road in Cippenham.

The proposal by NRS Developments is to build a new access road between 35 and 37 Lower Cippenham Lane leading to four new homes behind them.

The land is currently part of the rear gardens of 35 and 37. If approved, the plan would effectively create a new cul-de-sac just to the east of Berrington Mews.

Slough: Horlicks Quarter (P/03896/013)

The developer Berkeley Homes has asked for permission to put up a sign advertising new homes at the former Horlicks Factory.

The sign has been put up on Stoke Road by the entrance to Arbor Park Stadium’s car park. Berkeley has submitted an application confirming it owns the land and asking for consent to display the advert.

Slough: house extension (P/20520/000)

A proposed house extension on a residential street has been refused planning permission on the grounds that it would be out of keeping with the area, and have insufficient space and parking.

The proposals sought to add a rear and side extension to the house on Maryside in Langley. But planning officers said the first floor rear extension ‘appears contrived and out of keeping with the pattern of development in this area.’

They also said there would not be enough garden space for a four bedroom house – a symptom of ‘overdevelopment of the site.’ And they said the development would ‘fail to provide adequate off-street parking.

Slough: cash machine (P/06425/002)

A cash machine firm has applied for planning permission for an ATM it has already installed at a takeaway on Farnham Road.

Cashzone says it has installed the machine at Lebanese Grill, 316 Farnham Road. It argues that the machine doesn’t harm the appearance of the street, or the basic design of the building.

RBWM: private hire firm (24/01517/CPU)

A home owner is allowed to use his house as the base of a private hire firm, planning officers have said.

The owner of the house on Moneyrow Green in Holyport asked for confirmation that planning law permitted him to use his home as his place of business. Planning officers confirmed that this was okay as it didn’t ‘represent a material change’ in the residential use of the building.
