A planning application from a zoo and animal rescue centre has been turned down because it may cause "harm" to the Green Belt.

Wildway Wildlife Ltd applied for temporary permission to operate a "small mini zoo and animal education centre" on land at Lower Mount Farm near Cookham, Berkshire.

Cookham Zoo has an unpaid team of about nine people and about 70 animals.

Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council refused the retrospective application.

Its finding follows an earlier decision to refuse the zoo a license.
