Extensive plans for improvements to a luxury hotel in the area have been shelved.

Hotel company the Dorchester Collection will be going back to the drawing board for its project to create gardens, a yoga studio, baths and more at Coworth Park near Ascot.

Meanwhile, a company that is converting a former office building in Maidenhead is facing a delay to its plans.

In Slough,  a house is set to be converted into a children’s care home, and a new house can be built on a garden in a backland development.

A plan to create spa gardens, a yoga studio, ‘experience rooms’ and more at Coworth Park Hotel in Sunningdale has been withdrawn.

The extensive project would also have created a hydro pool, a wildlife pond an extension to the existing gym and an outdoor café.

A mood board by designer Ann-Marie Powell shows idyllic scenes which could have been created at the hotel.

However, the project was officially withdrawn in a letter to the Royal Borough’s head of planning Adrien Waite on Wednesday, May 8.

A company called LLO, which is currently in the process of converting the Belmont Place offices into flats, will have to try again as details it has submitted have been rejected.

LLO won permission to convert Belmont Place in Maidenhead into 11 one-bed and 22 two-bed flats in May 2023.

A condition of the approval was that noise insulation measures are needed to protect future occupants from noise coming from businesses nearby.

But LLO has failed to convince the Royal Borough’s planning department that its noise insulation measures are acceptable, meaning the company will have to submit more details on these measures at a later date.

A house near Slough town centre is set to be converted into a  childrens care home.

The house in Merton Road currently has six bedrooms and is located south east of the town centre.

The applicant Rapha Healthcare has won permission to convert it into a care home for a maximum of five children with up to four carers, who will utilise three car parking spaces at the front of the house.

The project was approved by Slough Borough Council on May 3.

The council has approved a plan to build a two-storey home on a garden 10 minutes walk from Slough town centre.

It will be built to the rear of terraced homes in Grays Road, with access being created from Chaucers Way, a private road.

Justifying the project, a planning agent said that the existing garden has been ‘neglected over many years and is too large for the occupants to handle’.

Once built, a new three-bedroom home, with one double and two single beds will be created.
