Planning appeal 3299971 at Area of Grass Verge Near to Footpath Lying off the Junction of Sutton Road, And Mill Lane, Cookham (Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead) was dismissed on 18 November 2022 by Inspector Davies H, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets, and, if any harm would occur, whether it is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternative sites.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets, and, if any harm would occur, whether it is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance would cause significant harm to character and appearance and less than substantial harm to heritage assets, and this harm was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits, particularly given the failure to demonstrate that less harmful alternatives had been fully explored.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy IF7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202Paragraph 203Paragraph 114Paragraph 115Paragraph 117
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
