Planning committee

Decided by Bracknell Forest Planning Committee on 11 Jun 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the assessed noise was unlikely to cause significant harm, subject to noise-control measures.
  • The parish council and residents raised concerns about delivery noise, while the committee questioned the assessment’s corrections and Sunday morning impact.
  • The committee refused the application, concluding that harm to neighbouring residential amenity had not been satisfactorily ruled out.
