New end of terrace home approved on appeal (Slough app P/17249/009)
A plan to add a three-bedroom house at the end of a terrace in Harrow Road, Langley, has been approved on appeal.
The project also involves front and rear extensions to the existing three-bedroom end-of-terrace house.
The project was rejected by Slough Borough Council’s last May over the size of the proposed front extension.
However, a government planning inspector judged that the extension followed the council’s planning rules and therefore allowed the project on appeal last December.
The news was reported to the council’s planning committee on January 31.
