Demolition of DIY shop for new flats at 375 Bath Road, Slough (P/03444/003).
Developers have registered an application to demolish the one-storey HSS Tool Shop and replace it with 83 flats, with a mix of studio, one-bed, two-bed, and three-bedroom dwellings.
If approved, the apartment block will be up to eight-storeys in height and the site will have a communal area, private gardens, bin storage, cycle store, and 52 car parking spaces.
The scheme has gone through multiple pre-application over the past three years to make it ‘acceptable’ for residents and Slough Borough Council planning officers.
Previous plans included erecting a building up to 12-storeys in height to accommodate 112 flats. Another involved a slightly reduced scheme of 62 units.
In the design and access statement, it reads: “We believe the proposal would be an acceptable use of the existing site, implementing an efficient design to contribute towards Slough’s housing need. The proposed accommodation would provide high-quality living spaces with all the necessary supporting services."

Construction of new apartment block with ground-floor retail at 83 Elliman Avenue, Slough (P/16652/003).
Planning officers gave the go-ahead for developers to erect a two-storey building on an empty plot of land, compromising one two-bed flat on the first floor and one studio apartment to the rear.
There will be a rear one-storey extension to the rear to accommodate the retail unit on ground floor.
Each flat will have its own private garden and the site will have six car parking spaces at the rear for the shop and apartments.
Refuse and cycle storage will also be included.
To match the residential area of the avenue, the building will have a partial gambrel roof style, its window and door frames will be in white, and its façade will have a light beige render.

Plans submitted to convert offices into flats at Chevron, St Marks House, St Marks Road, Windsor (21/03092/CLAMA).
The three-storey St Mark’s House was used as offices but has been vacant for three years.
According to the developer, there has been “no interest” in using all or part of the building as office space despite investment made to improve its internal conditions.
Now developers want to convert it into residential use with three two-bedroom flats proposed. The seven car parking spaces at the rear will be retained.
