   Comments: This development has not been properly thought out, is at a level of density that is not supported by local infrastructure, and is of a type that is widely seen in the UK as encouraging poor living conditions and anti-social behaviour when compared to lower densitiy housing. All over the country high rise flats are being demolished and replaced with lower density residential units with better overlooking and more infrastructure. This is a backwards step for Slough in its steps towards town centre regeneration and improved quliaty of life for its residents. The scale and nature of the development suits only the developer and their need for high density units to maximise their own profits and has limited benefit to Slough, which is far outweighed by the negatives. In addition this development will completely change the skyline of the town, undoing much of the work done on the Heart of Slough, and overshadowing the church and more sympathetic and architecturally appropriate Curve.

   Comments: I really feel that this proposal would take the Heart out of Slough and not attract people to shop in the area. Such high rise accommodation has not worked in the past and we should learn the lesson from history.

    Comments: I totally agree with the petition raised to call on Slough Council to refuse permission for the development of five high rise residential flats , history has shown that such developments place stress not only on the immediate area in terms of health care , schools etc but also on the potential residents of such high rise blocks , why would any community want high rise blocks when most of the UK authorities since the 1960's boom in such structures have been tearing them down and building more humane structures.

    Comments: The proposal will have a detrimental impact on the centre of Slough in particular the idea of high rise and also the planned density. At a time when other Councils are considering accommodation in town centres that make towns attractive to live in the idea of high rise development will have a further negative affect on Slough

    Comments: I agree this needs more thought. High rise does not work. They are being demolished everywhere else, why are the council allowing this? I agree that the borough needs more housing but this is not the way.

    Comments: the point is to improve slough not to take back 50 years to do it all again if we are to be "proud of slough" this is certainly not the way forward

    Comments: 911 new homes in total, where are the additional children going to go to school. Slough is already over populated. What about the traffic around the town centre, how will it cope with the additional amount of cars? Hospital and doctors appointments..... you already have to wait a day and an age to get one... it will only get worse. Additional homes are needed, but not by high rise flats

    Comments: Just don't do it, too much traffic and not enough parking already and yet another thing to put Slough back in time rather than to the future. Again the council don't think about the Slough residents.

    Comments: Increasing the housing stock is a good idea, however, what about the social infrastructure i.e schools, hospitals, social services, doctors surgeries etc. Currently all these services are over stretched with the current population of Slough

    Comments: I thought we realised many years ago that high rise residential flats do not work. How many have we pulled down and now our council is in agreement to build these homes that are not healthy in many ways to the residents. These buildings will ruin the area especially the shopping centre.

    Comments: council thinking of making money ( taxes ) and the impact on residents. Traffice will increase, school and hospital are already at there limits. Percentage of these new flats will go to those on benefits , will be rented out by those already secure on the property ladder or those with high paid salary who will move to slough. So not sure how will benefit local residents ( had to bring it up) Many people in the area won’t be able to get a foot on the property ladder because of the high cost as this will drive up house prices. What about bring in more business to slough? Instead of another (5) block of flats Any business brought on by the construction will be short term.
