A developer seeks to overturn a decision to block flats plan at 87-89 High Street, Maidenhead (22/00854/FULL).
Crest Ventures Ltd has lodged an appeal following the Royal Borough’s decision to refuse its plans to build a two-storey extension to the property to provide six apartments.
Planning officers believed the developer has not demonstrated how it will reduce carbon emissions from the development as required in the council’s interim sustainability statement.

But the developer said the development is sustainable in terms of national policy and will make good use of brownfield land that will contribute to the council’s five-year housing target.
A canopy could be installed over a school’s sports area at Upton Court Grammar School, Lascelles Road, Slough (P/06077/034).
The historic school, which was founded in 1912 and caters to over 1,000 pupils, wants to place a sports canopy to allow students to use the multi-games area (MUGA) during bad weather.
The waterproof canopy will measure 42m x 37m and have an eaves height of 4m and a ridge height of 10.5m.

Lighting for evening use will use LEDs and will support evening use in the winter months. The proposed time for lighting and any use will cease at 10pm.
Slough Borough Council planning officers are yet to decide on the application.
Legoland wants to add a new family rollercoaster at Winkfield Road, Windsor (22/02369).
The popular Berkshire theme park has submitted a certificate of lawfulness to find out if they can build a new rollercoaster without the need for planning permission.
The “duelling” rollercoaster could replace the existing Raft Racers attraction, next to the mansion which is not accessible by guests.
It could be 10.8 metres in height and could have a twin track, with two trams travelling in unison as if they were racing against one another.
Along with the rollercoaster, an operator's cabin, queue line, loading platform, and perimeter fencing could be included.
