Planning application
26/01548/HOUSE
Maple Ash Cottage Winterbourne Newbury RG20 8AS
Proposal
First floor extension, building over existing garage and car port, to create master bedroom suite. Internal reconfiguration of first floor to connect new bedroom to existing dwelling. NB this application is a resubmission of plans originally submitted in July 2025. The plans were essentially approved but a refusal was issued because a Preliminary Roost Assessment for bats had not been completed. This Assessment was subsequently arranged as well as follow-up Emergence Surveys. The reports for these processes accompany this application.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with West Berkshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About householder applications
How this application type works
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.
