A warehouse in Colnbrook and a tree in Windsor 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: new industrial unit (P/10697/015)
A big industrial warehouse could be built in Colnbrook after planning permission was granted by Slough Borough Council. It comes as plans to build 24 flats next to the site are also awaiting a decision.
Plans to build a leading industrial and logistics unit on the site of a former waste facility on Bath Road were approved by planning officers on Tuesday, November 19.
General, light industrial, and office use will be the usual activity at the proposed building – with heavy goods vehicles primarily coming in and out of the site.
The decision comes as councillors on Slough Borough Council’s planning committee are set to consider separate plans for 24 flats next to the site.
Slough Borough Council planning officers acknowledge that one of the blocks will be ‘very close’ to the warehouse but say the plans are acceptable overall.
Plans for the two blocks of flats were presented to the committee in September this year, but councillors voted to defer their decision.
Slough: new cul-de-sac (P/04364/024)
Five new houses could be built in Dorney if plans submitted to Slough Borough Council are approved.
Under the plans a workshop and a collection smaller buildings on Common Road would be demolished to make way for a new cul-de-sac. The land falls within the boundaries of the Cippenham Village ward of Slough Borough Council.
Slough: house extension (P/05108/003)
Two-storey front and rear house extensions at a house on Sutton Avenue in Langley has been refused by Slough Borough Council.
Council planning officers said that the extensions together would make up an ‘unacceptable combined and cumulative bulk, mass and height’.
They said this would have a ‘detrimental impact’ on the appearance of the surrounding area. The officers refused planning permission on Tuesday, November 19.
Slough: first floor extension (P/03933/005)
A rear extension at a another home in Langley, on Parlaunt Road, has also been refused planning permission.
Slough Borough Council planning officers said the ‘bulk, width and flat roof’ of the proposed extension would not be ‘visually compatible’ with the rest of the house.
A sycamore tree on Bachelors Acre in Windsor can be removed after approval from tree officers at the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
Tree officers said the sycamore – hemmed in between the road and the wall of an adjoining building – is ‘not in a sustainable location’.
