The owner of a house along Stoke Road in Slough is facing a delay in their project to add single-storey rear extensions to their home.

The plans show how far each extension would stretch back, without information about what they will be used for once built.

The owner had submitted a prior approval application to determine whether the extensions would be permitted development.

However, they will now have to submit a full planning application for the two extensions, as a Slough planning officer ruled that not enough information had been provided to treat the application as permitted development.
