Councillor Bermange introduced the report to Cabinet. He wished to thank officers and residents alike for their work and contribution towards this, including that of Susie Shearer who was in the public gallery. The area covered the ward of Clewer East, where both Ward Councillors were present at the meeting, as members of the Cabinet. The document when adopted would assist in the approval of developments in the future, when it came to looking at applications in the conservation area. He was recommending that it went out to public consultation, with an in-person event being held.

Councillor Davies said that Clewer village was a special place in Windsor, which also housed the oldest building in Windsor. She thanked numerous persons for their work and also their undertaking of reading the draft report that had been presented. This was in addition also to Councillor Bermange and the planning team for facilitating it. She wished to second the proposal.

Councillor Jones said that conservation areas had been put aside for many years and upon asking for them, it had been cast aside. She then wished to mention the conservation area in Old Windsor, which had been waiting 12 years for a report like this too.
