Planning application
Unit 7 Markham Centre Station Road Theale Reading RG7 4PE
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Increase in height of the roof element as the roof is end of life. This will increase the thermal element to current building regulations and rectify the roof issues. Hight increase of 310mm.

Decision
Awaiting decision

West Berkshire took a median of 58 days over the applications it decided in the last year.
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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
