Controversial East Ilsley workspace plans refused by West Berkshire Council

Plans to convert a redundant former agricultural research facility in East Ilsley into a state-of-the-art workspace have been rejected by West Berkshire Council.
Applicant Beeswax Dyson Farming Limited sought permission to renovate barns at Sunrise Hill into modern business units. The proposals were submitted at the end of April last year and were met with considerable objections by villagers.
Until 2015, the complex was owned by the Pirbright Institute, which undertakes animal and agricultural research.
Beeswax Dyson is a land management firm, part-owned by billionaire inventor Sir James Dyson, which has other local interests.
