A £100million development on a major road in Slough has been met with concern.

Mackenzie Homes have revealed plans to redevelop part of Bath Road, Slough.

Currently home to a shopping parade and a car showroom, the brownfield site is to be transformed into 291 homes across a mix of varying levels of accommodation, with the tallest building set to be 14 storeys tall.

However, residents have already raised concerns about an increase in traffic in the area and whether there are enough local facilities to accommodate the rise in people living in the town centre.

Jenson Fruend said: "Lack of sufficient parking space will cause considerable congestion and problems for car parking."

Primla Smith added that it already takes "forever" to drive a few miles, while Tom Daniel added that "Slough is gridlocked already" and fears for hundreds more cars being introduced.

"Think of the congestion and the pollution with the added traffic around the area," Claudette Fernandes-Holland stated.

Jenson Fruend added: "What impact will this have on local public services like schools, GP services, NHS and dentists.

"The entire area will become overdeveloped and overcrowded."

This is a concern shared with a lot of residents, who feel like attention should be turned to transforming the high street before more accommodation is built.

Meanwhile, others have raised concerns around the height of some of the storeys, particularly the block which is proposed to be 14 storeys high.

Paul Dicker expressed his shock and added: "How will the fire service reach the higher floors."

In the initial plans, Mackenzie Homes proposed multiple storeys of 10 floors, with Slough Borough Council telling the developer that two floors or more would need to be removed from many sections of the plans.

Agnes Agnes added that they would like to see more playgrounds and green spaces in the town.

Another concern raised by David Whittington regards whether the sewage and electricity systems can cope with more demand.

A Slough Borough Council spokesperson said: “At present, the applications have not been presented to Planning Committee and work is ongoing by the applicant.

"Planning is mindful of the impact of development on services, from education to highways and seeks to ensure the appropriate mitigation and contributions are made commensurate to the scale of development proposed.

"However, no recommendation of support or refusal has been made by planning officers at this point.”
