Cover image for Grain dryer and store in Berkshire approved

After a long struggle it was great that our client, Lord Carnarvon, final has some good news about his proposed grain store and dryer.  It had been a highly controversial proposal due to a few very vocal local objectors and a previous application was dismissed at appeal on landscape impact grounds with the site being in a designated National Landscape.

RCC worked hard with a wider team of consultants to prepare an amended proposal with a reduced scale and with design changes that were sufficient for the council's landscape consultant to raise no further objections.  This allowed the planning officer to recommend the application for approval at committee.  We were delighted when the amended application was supported by the committee and we finally got there.
