We call on Slough Council's planning committee to REFUSE permission for the development of five high rise residential flats (9 - 21 storeys in height) on the high street on the following grounds: a) it would have a significant detrimental impact on the visual amenity in the centre of Slough b) the density of accommodation would create huge stresses on community facilities such as schools and health provision; and c) the proposals are an overdevelopment which adversely affect the urban environment around the town centre, making it harder to bring business to the high street
