As ever, it has been a busy week for planning in BRACKNELL as a number of applications have been decided on and submitted. Meanwhile, Bracknell Forest Council’s planning committee held a virtual meeting on Thursday, May 20 to discuss two plans. Although all council meetings are meant to take place in the borough chambers from now on, the committee was allowed to conduct the meeting virtually, as long as the decisions themselves were delegated to planning officers based on there recommendations. Councillors Tina McKenzie Boyle, Ankhur Bandhari and Michael Skinner, all Conservatives, were absent from the meeting, and therefore could not vote.
