But concerns were raised about the loss of woodland on the site, which is part of the gap between the two settlements at a Bracknell Forest Council planning committee meeting. Questioning that, councillor Tony Virgo (Conservative, Winkfield & Warfield East) said: “When you are ascertaining the damage, presumably the woodland will grow, from my own understanding, from my own house, trees grow extremely quickly. “Because even though they've taken a small piece of land, the forest around it will continue to thrive, won't it?” This proposal appears to be just one small house in a lane where there are other larger properties currently being built.
