Construction of a new building comprising of seven apartments at Zaman House, Church Road, Maidenhead (21/00503/FULL).
Developers wanted to have another go to redevelop this site, which is located in the Fisheries Estate, following refusal from the Royal Borough’s planning panel in October 2020.

Despite planning officers recommending the eight-bed Zaman House development to be approved, councillors of the panel rebelled and refused it due to its impact on the area’s character and flooding issues.
The plans made a small comeback on the Royal Borough’s planning portal with seven beds instead.
The developers also tweaked the designs to make it more in keeping with the area.
Despite the changes, residents still objected to the scheme as the look of the building would still be out of keeping of the area and some asked for it to be converted to family housing.
According to an email, the developers told planning officers they will be withdrawing this application following the wave of objections and are now looking to pursue a redevelopment for houses only.

The Academy was given the go-ahead to erect six multi-band antennas by Slough planning officers.
However, one resident objected to this scheme, saying: I believe this could have long term health implications for the staff and children based at the school.
“The work would also require access to the site which has safeguarding issues for a school full of children – although this is a secondary school there is also a primary school on site.
“Any kind of work can be disruptive to the children and staff and the day-to-day running of the school.”
