Planning committee

Deferred by Wokingham Planning Committee on 13 Aug 2025.

Deferred

  • Officers advised approval because the changes were minor, the garage remained subordinate, and landscaping and an ancillary-use condition would address concerns.
  • Residents and a councillor opposed the application, citing excessive size, visual dominance, inadequate landscaping and possible separate accommodation.
  • The committee approved the application subject to the recommended conditions and informatives.
