Progress for a new supermarket and scrapped plans for a children’s play centre feature in this week’s Bracknell and Wokingham planning round-up.

You can find out more about each application by searching the planning portal of either Bracknell Forest Council or Wokingham Borough Council’s website.

Bracknell Forest Council: 25/00033/FUL

Plans to convert a warehouse into an inflatable children’s play area and café have been scrapped.

Jumpin Fun applied to convert a warehouse at The Western Centre, a business and industrial hub close to Bracknell town centre, back in February.

It would include assault courses, slides, air bags, balance beams and more.

A Bracknell pub will be getting electric vehicle charging points after winning approval from the council.

Peacock Farm Pub on Peacock Lane will install four rapid electric vehicle stations as well as ancillary equipment within its car park.

Binfield Parish Council recommended approval and Bracknell Forest Council granted permission on May 22.

More progress for a Sainsbury’s supermarket opening to serve new populations is being made.

The supermarket giant is opening a store on land east of Nine Mile Ride in Arborfield, as part of the Arborfield Garrison development.

Now, advertisement plans have been put to Wokingham Borough Council.

These consist of two ‘Sainsbury’s signs to the north and west of the site and a 5 metre tall totem.

Other signs include a pick up point, crossing signs, left hand turns signs, three give way signs, deliveries, no entry and a car park information sign.

Other signs to serve the car park, including 11 maximum stay posts, lamp posts, trolley and electric vehicle parking signs would be included.

Wokingham Borough Council has validated the plans, with a public consultation running until June 12.

Wokingham Borough Council: 251187

Plans to expand a dental surgery have been submitted to the council.

Dr Ahmed Aleshaiker wants to expand his premises of Loddon Bridge Road Dental Practice into number 283.

The existing site at number 281 would see a glass topped canopy built on its exterior to link with number 283.

It has existed since 1957 as the only NHS practice in Woodley, with over 18,000 patients on its register.

Expanding the current site would allow for three additional treatment rooms, meaning more patients could be served on a daily basis, plans submitted to the council said.

Wokingham Borough Council has approved the plans, with a decision yet to be made.
