Developers who have been busy at work devising plans in Slough and beyond have found out whether their projects have been successful.
Owners of sites in the Cippenham and Chalvey areas of Slough have had their projects rubber-stamped.
However, a project to build six homes in Ascot has been quashed, as has a site owner’s bid for a larger home in Windsor.

New homes at garage site approved (Slough app P/18001/002)
The developer Acre Contractors has won approval to build three two-bedroom homes on the site of a former garage in Mallard Drive, Cippenham.
The homes will be contained in one terrace building, with each coming with two car parking spaces, a separate kitchen and living room and toilet downstairs, with a bathroom upstairs.
The loft area will be reserved as a study.
The homes were approved by Slough Borough Council’s planning department on January 26.
Creation of homes at SSE site (Slough app P/00322/032)
Two new homes will be created by the company Quinata Global at the SSE site in Greenwatt Way, Chalvey.
These new homes will be created by converting a vacant two-storey plant room into a two-bed home with a private garden, and a separate redundant meeting room to create a one-bed flat.
The homes form part of the Greenwatt Way development by SSE, which are zero-carbon dwellings with a variety of renewable energy solutions.
The conversion projects were approved by the council’s planning department on January 22.
Plan for six homes in Ascot quashed (RBWM app 21/02054/FULL)
A plan for six homes to replace an abandoned house in Ascot has been quashed.
Development company Pipeline Worldwide was hoping to demolish Missanda, a single-storey house in Wells Lane, and replace it three-bedroom homes contained within two terraces.
But the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead failed to produce a verdict on the plan in time, leading Pipeline Worldwide to launch an appeal to the government planning inspectorate.
However, an inspector ruled that the development would not respect the character of the area, and therefore dismissed the appeal.
The decision appeared on the council’s planning website on January 31.
Replacement home in Windsor refused (RBWM app 23/02825/FULL)
A plan to replace a bungalow in Windsor with a new four-bedroom home has been refused.
The owners of the bungalow in Winkfield Road were hoping to replace it with a new 2.5 storey home with an open plan kitchen and diner, a reception room and a garage.
However, the council’s planning department has refused the scheme, stating that the replacement home would appear unduly prominent in the
street scene, and would be out of keeping with the neighbouring dwellings.
The plan was refused on January 30.
