The Fines Bayliwick House Hotel will transform into eleven two-bedroom apartments after council approval.
A Binfield hotel will become apartments. The Fines Bayliwick House Hotel is involved, and its application number is 22/00504/FUL.
The council approved turning the hotel into flats. Eleven two-bedroom apartments are planned, and twenty-five parking spots are included. They will build new extensions, but existing ones will be torn down first.
Some neighbors worried about enough parking and thought roads could be affected. Plans date back to 2022, and a legal agreement now seals the deal.
Wokingham has plans for a new roundabout. The application number is 240892.
The roundabout will be at Waterloo Road and William Heelas Way. It creates a new route to Waterloo Road and is part of a big housing project.
The project plans 2,500 new homes. Two schools, shops, and facilities are also coming, located between Wokingham and Bracknell Forest.
A Crowthorne restaurant wants longer hours. The application number is 25/00032/FUL.
It’s a European fine-dining place opening at 19 High Street, which used to be Triple BBB’s Smokehouse. They asked to open earlier and close later and want 8 AM to 11:30 PM, Monday to Thursday.
Friday to Sunday, they want 8 AM to midnight, while current hours are 12 PM to 11 PM. The council is reviewing their request now.
An office block turns into homes in Wokingham. The application number is 242785.
The council approved the office change, and Indigo House will gain 32 flats. It’s located in Mulberry Business Park, and the flats will have one or two bedrooms, plus large windows.
The business park is near Fishponds Road and is a 24-minute walk to Wokingham centre. Many bus stops can be found nearby, and the car park has 88 spaces, which plans say is enough for residents.
