A developer withdraws its homes plan AGAIN at Eton Wick Road, Eton Wick, Windsor (21/03363/FULL).
Plans to knock down the historic former Shepherds Hut pub for a three-storey building holding five two-bedroom flats have been withdrawn for the second time.
The scheme was meant to be decided by councillors at Wednesday’s Windsor and Ascot development management panel but was pulled out due to the officer’s recommending it for refusal again.
It was also meant to be decided by August’s committee but was withdrawn as well.

Planning officers maintained the view the applicant has not submitted enough evidence on how it will mitigate the flooding risks at the site as it is in flood zone two, and how it will minimise CO2 emissions.
Six homes have already been constructed to the south of the site from a previously approved application. That scheme also proposed to convert the former Shepherds Hut into a bicycle-friendly café but was not executed.
