A planning appeal for a farm shop to support West Berkshire s rural economy has been refused because of the increased carbon footprint on country roads.
The Wasing Estate challenged West Berkshire Council s refusal of its plans to turn Shalford Farm into an estate farm shop, with overnight accommodation for wedding parties.
A bakery, fermentary, cookery school and event space were also planned for the site, on Back Lane, which is currently used for vehicle storage.
Councillors refused the plans last year over increased vehicle traffic to the non-sustainable location. And it was this reliance and increase of motor vehicles that lead the Planning Inspectorate to dismiss the scheme.
