Some public amenity land in Rosedale Gardens, Bracknell, will become private for use of a next-door homeowner.

Land off 51 Rosedale Gardens will cease to be used for private use by the homeowner, after planning permission was granted by Bracknell Forest Council.

It comes despite recommended refusal from Bracknell Town council, which stated that members ‘do not want a precedent to be set of letting public amenity land be lost as private gardens’.

Burger lovers will soon be able to visit the Five Guys in Winnersh more easily, as a drive-thru has been approved.

Wokingham Borough Council gave permission to plans to create a drive-thru for the American fast-food chain at Showcase Cinema in Winnersh.

The company applied to create two drive-thru lanes, with a lane closer to the restaurant used for customers to collect their orders and pay.

The applicant argued that the proximity to Winnersh Triangle Business Park would draw trade from nearby drivers.

Plans to build ten houses on greenfield land in Binfield have been scrapped.

Knowlton Holdings Binfield Limited wanted to build ten houses on land off terrace Road in North Binfield.

The site is close to multiple Grade II listed buildings, including the Binfield Park Manor House.

Binfield Parish Council had objected tote plans based on its proximity to historical buildings, as well as in the countryside setting.

Plans were withdrawn by the applicant before a decision could be made.
