(NB. Interested parties to make the own enquiries and satisfy themselves whether this relief applies to them.)

Planning:The property is within the administration area of Wokingham Borough Council.  There are no recent planning applications recorded against this property other than one which was withdrawn.  That was for the loss of Residential to  Business Use.  The application was withdrawn because WBC indicated they would not support the loss of a residential unit.  The Use Class Order was amended on 1stSeptember 2020.

There are eleven parts to the new Class E, which more broadly covers usage previously defined in the revoked Classes A1/2/3, B1, D1 (a – b) and indoor sport from D2 (e).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
