Town centre flats and a new watch shop are in this week’s roundup of planning applications and decisions at Slough Borough Council and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council.
You can view each one by going to the council’s planning website and searching for the application number provided.
Slough: town centre flats (F/05994/011)
An office building near Slough High Street can be converted into four flats after plans were approved by Slough Borough Council.
The plans are to turn convert the first and second floors of Coleridge House on Park Street into two two-bed flats and two one-bed flats. The ground floor will remain as an office.
Council planning officers said the conversion was acceptable. But no one will be allowed to move in until developers have installed storage for six bicycles and four electric vehicle charging points, and submitted plans for refuse and recycling facilities.
Slough: Langley HMO (P/12528/001)
A house in Langley can become a house of multiple occupation (HMO), council planning officers have ruled.
Plans to turn the three bedroom house on Laurel Avenue into a five bedroom HMO were submitted to the council in August and approved on Tuesday, October 1.
However planning officers said the owner would still need to check whether they needed an HMO licence with the council’s licensing department.
Slough: Colnbrook HMO (P/11491/010)
Plans to turn a building in Colnbrook into an HMO have been refused by Slough Borough Council.
The plans to turn the building into a six-bedroom HMO were submitted to the council in July this year. But council planning officers said future residents would not have enough access to natural sunlight on the ground floor.
They also said the conversion would result in increased levels of disturbance and harm to the living conditions of neighbours.
A former barbers near Windsor Castle could become a watch shop, plans submitted to the council suggest.
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council has granted permission to install signs for a shop called Royal Windsor Watches at 14 High Street in Windsor.
The shop was previously a branch of Headcase Barbers, which closed earlier this year.
RBWM: ATM (24/01922/FULL)
Plans to install a cash machine at the entrance to Lux Fashions on Peascod Street in Windsor have been approved by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council.
The plans were submitted by cash machine firm Euronet Worldwide in August and approved by council planning officers on Tuesday, October 1.
