The Royal Borough has received a retrospective application to change the use of the agricultural barn at Stroud Farm in Holyport into a food preparation business with a loading bay and one air conditioning unit.

According to a planning and heritage statement, the larger Atcost barn is being used as a space for the preparation of food and a base for the operations of cookie baking company Cookieo.

The plans also include changing the use of the agricultural cabin into a beauty and wellness business with one ramp, cycle storage and four parking spaces.

The cabin is currently being used as The Beauty Cabin a ‘wellness and beauty studio’, the statement explained.

The application can be found on the RBWM portal through the reference 2/00276/FULL.

In Cookham, plans have been submitted to convert the site of Jade Jones Aesthetics and Academy in Bigfrith Lane from a shop into a two-bedroom house.

The plans would also include other alternations to fenestration, including rooflights.

The plans can be viewed by typing in the reference 26/00381/FULL.

Elsewhere plans have also been submitted to convert a barn on land at Church Farm on Waltham St Lawrence in a new residential home.

According to a planning statement submitted with the plans, the proposal involves converting the barn from storage use to living space, with an ensuite bedroom on the ground floor.

The home would also have a study on a mezzanine floor above.

The plans also include a new roof, hardstanding, landscaping, alterations to fenestration and external finishes.

The site would be accessed ‘off the existing entrance of Halls Lane’ and follow the current road up to the farm, the Planning Statement added.
