A town centre car park and an office conversion are in this week’s roundup of planning applications and decisions at Slough Borough Council and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

You can view each one by going to the council’s planning website and searching for the application number provided.

Slough: car park (P/02272/033)

Permission to use a piece of town centre land as a temporary car park has been granted for another five years.

Developers of the Future Works office buildings originally got permission to use the land on Brunel Way as a temporary car park while work to build the Future Works office buildings was underway.

The land has been earmarked as the future site for Number 1 Future Works. In the meantime, it is being used as car park space for occupants of Number 2 Future Works on Brunel Place.

Permission to use the land as a car park was granted for a temporary period in 2018, and then again in 2021. Developers asked for permission in March this year to extend that to another five years.

Slough Borough Council planning officers agreed to this on Tuesday, August 27. They said no more than 58 cars should be parked there at any time.

Slough: Lynch Hill primary (P/07830/019)

Lynch Hill primary school is allowed to install solar panels on its roof, Slough Borough Council has confirmed.

Plans to install the panels on the roofs of the school on Gerrard Road were submitted to the council on July 5 and approved on Thursday, August 28.

It comes shortly after permission was also granted to Lynch Hill academy on Stoke Road to install solar panels on its roofs on August 15.

Slough: care home (P/09514/001)

A home on Princes Street can be converted into a care home for young adults, Slough Borough Council has agreed.

Plans submitted to the council said the home would allow up to four people aged 16-18 in care to live semi-independent lives. Only the young people will live at the property, but it will also be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

RBWM: Office conversion (24/01644/CLAMA)

Plans to convert town centre offices into homes have been withdrawn after the Environment Agence raised flooding concerns.

Developers Aegon Property wanted permission to convert The Reach on Bridge Avenue in Maidenhead unto 39 homes.

But the Environment Agency objected, saying that parts of the land had either medium or high risks of flooding. The agency said it would object to the plans unless developers submitted a flood risk assessment.

The application was then withdrawn on Tuesday, August 27.
