New branding for Slough pub (P/04442/050 and P/04442/051)
An application for new signage has been submitted for The Long Barn, a historic pub located off Cippenham Lane in Slough.
Although the pub is owned by Greene King, it is currently run by the Meet & Greet pub company which holds a number of music and other events throughout the year at The Long Barn.
A spokesperson for Greene King said the pub has been leased to Meet & Greet as part of its Pub Partners division.
The spokesperson added that 1,000 pubs are part of the Pub Partners division, alongside the 1,600 pubs directly managed by Green King.
The makeover plan involves the black and gold branding being retained and updated according to advertising plans.
The pub is Grade II listed as it dates back to the 17th century with 18th century additions.
Replacement of drinks business with mixed use building (P/00901/014)
A landowner has applied to replace the base of the Drinks Direct business at 256, High Street, Langley with a new mixed use commercial and residential building.
The existing building, called Edwin House, is two-storeys tall and is clad in pebble dash.
The plan would see Edwin House replaced with a three storey building with commercial space on the ground flour and four two-bedroom units contained on the first and second floors.
Six parking spaces would be provided, with four to the rear of the site being electric vehicle ready, and two to the front of the building,
Changes to 79 home redevelopment of village industrial estate (RBWM app 23/01111/VAR)

The developers won outline approval to replace existing one and two storey commercial buildings with homes on the site in February 2021, with appearance and landscaping plans approved in February this year.
Changes applied for recently relate to an adaptation of the access and the removal and replacement of one tree which a planning agent stated is in a ‘poor condition’ following a lightning strike.
New multi-use games area at village recreation ground (RBWM app 23/01183/FULL)

The MUGA would replace ‘end of life’ play and fitness equipment and some grassland located next to existing tennis courts.
The plan also involves the installation of a new junior and teenager playgound, which would be situated between the proposed MUGA and the existing playing field.
