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

The scale of support has reached a level that forces the planning committee to acknowledge our objections during the next review phase. I have requested a formal meeting with the planning department to present our concerns regarding infrastructure capacity and town centre density.

The town is ugly and overcrowded enough - let's improve the green space and access to council homes that can be passed down the family chain or re let by the council.

this is going to kill the high street for good. nobody wants to shop in the shadow of a 20 storey building.
