A McDonald’s drive thru and high street flats 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: McDonald’s (P/00331/007, P/00331/006)
McDonald’s has withdrawn its application to put up signs and adverts where plans to build a drive thru fell through.
Slough Borough Council refused the fast-food chain’s application for planning permission for the drive thru on London Road, next to the Toby Carvery, in Langley on the grounds that it would cause queuing on the dual carriageway.
With the drive thru plans thwarted, McDonald’s has also withdrawn its separate applications for planning permission for digital menu screens a ‘totem’ sign and its well known golden arch at the site.
Slough: house extension (Y/20383/001)
A home-owner has been told they must apply for full planning permission for a house extension on High Street in Chalvey.
The owner of the house submitted plans to build a single storey extension reaching four metres beyond the rear of the house.
They applied for confirmation that this would be allowed under ‘permitted development’ rights that allow home improvements to be made without the need for full planning permission.
But council planning officers ruled that the scale of the extension was too large to be covered by permitted development rules, and that the owner – meaning it would need a full planning application.
Slough: ATM (P/15357/042, P/15357/041, P/15357/043)
NatWest wants permission to replace its cash machine at Slough Train Station. The bank has submitted two applications to replace its ATM and ATM collar, and a third one for confirmation that it's okay to make the changes to the listed building.
It comes after the bank closed its high street branch earlier this month, getting permission to remove its cash machine there on the same day.
RBWM: High Street flats (24/01782/CLAMA )
Proposals to build flats on Maidenhead High Street have been knocked back by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council.
Soborn Estates wanted confirmation that it convert the first and second floors above 82 High Street from business to residential use.
But council planning officers ruled that the proposals failed to show the inhabitants of would have adequate natural light in all rooms, enough cycle storage, or that the converstion would preserve the character of the area.
