A convenience store in The Lexicon and new nets for a cricket club are in this week’s round-up of planning applications and decisions in Bracknell Forest and Wokingham Borough.

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

A new convenience store could replace an empty unit in the Lexicon, plans submitted to Bracknell Forest Council suggest.

An application for planning permission to install signs for a One Stop shop at 26B High Street was submitted to the council this month. The unit is currently vacant, and was previously occupied by a Peacocks clothing store.

Bracknell Forest: trees felled (23/00244/TRTPO)

Three protected trees in a wood owned by Wellington College in Crowthorne can be felled because of structural problems, Bracknell Forest Council has agreed.

Wellington College wants to fell two sweet chestnut trees and one ash in a wooded area just south east of its campus, west of Sandhurst Road.

One sweet chestnut has cracks and another has a hole, both at the bases of their trunks. The ash is growing through a fence, and has signs of fungus.

The trees are in an area protected by a tree preservation order, meaning the college needed permission from Bracknell Forest Council to fell them.

Council tree officers agreed that the work was necessary and that as only three trees are to be felled the woodland as a whole would not be affected.

Bracknell Forest: tattoo parlour (23/00791/FUL)

Love Tattoos has been given a Valentine's Day gift from Bracknell Forest Council.

Glynn Hawkins runs Love Tattoos on Yorktown Road in Sandhurst – but he wants to move to 62 High Street as he needs more space.

This meant asking for permission to change the use of the premises from shop to ‘sui generis’. Council planning officers formally approved his application on Wednesday, February 14.

Wokingham Borough: new cricket nets (232814)

New cricket nets can be installed at Crowthorne and Crown Wood Cricket club, after Wokingham Borough Council granted planning permission.

Plans were submitted to replace ‘poorly positioned and now derelict astroturf cricket pitches with a modern, safe and secure 2 net facility with security fencing’ at St. Sebastians Playing Field Trust Sports Club.

The club is shared by Crowthorne and Crown Wood Cricket Club, Pinewood Football Club, Crowthorne Archers and Crowthorne Tennis Club.
