HUNDREDS of new homes in the town centre, a redesigned care home and a big win for DJ Chris Evans - these are just some of the planning stories which have been getting people talking in the last week.

Work at a Wetherspoons building in Bracknell (19/01064/LB)
‘Spoons bosses want to make changes to The Old Manor pub at Grenville Place in Bracknell, which dates back to the 15th century.
The building is listed, meaning it has historical importance and is protected, so site managers can’t make any changes to it without Bracknell Forest Council’s (BFC) approval first.

Applicants want to rebuild the existing chimney and add new extraction fans, as well as installing new roof-mounted cooling equipment.
New troop shelter at the Royal Military Academy (19/01062/FUL)
A planning statement for this application reveals new troop shelter areas are being proposed at defence training areas throughout the country after a “fatality” at one of them.
This means defence specialists want to add a new troop shelter next to the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, near to the Barossa Firing Range.

New shed at Wayne Bridge House, Warfield (19/01028/FUL)
As far as the News understands, this planning application has nothing to do with former Reading FC and Chelsea footballer Wayne Bridge.
Nevertheless, homeowners here want to build a single storey shed at the site of their Warfield mansion on Malt Hill.
A property listing by estate agents Savills reveals the country house has four reception rooms, four en-suite bedrooms, a gym and sauna room, a home cinema, a wine cellar and more.
A new four-bedroom home in Binfield (planning reference: 19/01069/OBS)
Homeowners want to knock down their existing home at Foxley Farm on Foxley Lane in Binfield.
They want to replace it with a four-bedroom detached house.
A number of outbuildings could also be demolished if planning chiefs say yes to the proposal.
Garage conversion in Ascot (19/01029/FUL)
Another week, another garage conversion plan submitted in Bracknell Forest.
This one sees an application for a new single-storey extension to the back of a home on Blackmoor Wood in Ascot.
The adjoining garage could be converted into a new living space, too.
