Owners of Don Beni Italian Restaurant in Winkfield won planning permission in August to build the four-bedroom family home next to their premises.
Neighbours had taken an issue with the plans which they branded ‘nonsensical’ due to the loss of parking spaces for the restaurant.
Now, a legal agreement known as a section 106 has been signed between the owners and the council.
