Decision & conditions
Officers Report Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The development hereby permitted shall be commenced within three years from the date of this permission. REASON To prevent the accumulation of planning permissions, and to enable the Council to review the suitability of the development in the light of altered circumstances and to comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
- The development hereby approved shall be implemented only in accordance with the following plans and drawings hereby approved by the Local Planning Authority: (a) Drawing No.PF-256FR-01, Dated NOV 25, Recd On 29/01/2026 (b) Drawing No.PF-256FR-03 – PROPOSED ROOF & ELEVATIONS, Dated NOV 25, Recd On 15/01/2026 (c) Drawing No.PF-256FR-04, Dated DEC 25, Recd On 15/01/2026 REASON To ensure that the site is developed in accordance with the submitted application and to ensure that the proposed development does not prejudice the amenity of the area and to comply with the Policies in the Development Plan.
- No part of the development shall be occupied until the cycle storage facilities shown on the approved plans have been provided and shall be retained at all times in the future for this purpose. REASON: To ensure that there is adequate cycle parking available at the site in accordance with Policy T8 of The Local Plan for Slough 2004, and to meet the objectives of the Slough Integrated Transport Strategy.
- The bin/recycling storage facilities shown on the approved plans shall be provided on site prior to occupation of the development and shall be retained at all times in the future for this purpose. REASON: To ensure that there is adequate refuse storage facilities available at the site in accordance with Policy T8 of The Local Plan for Slough 2004, and to meet the objectives of the Slough Integrated Transport Strategy.
- No cooking facilities, whether portable or fixed, shall be installed or provided within any bedroom. All cooking of food, including reheating, shall be within the room labelled ‘KITCHEN’ in Drawing No.PF-256FR-04, Dated DEC 25, Recd On 15/01/2026. REASON To protect the amenities of the adjoining occupiers and the character of the area, and to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers which would be compromised if the bedrooms are used as self-contained units of accommodation, as the internal floor area of the bedrooms are not adequate for such accommodation. This condition is necessary to ensure the development is in accordance with Core Policies 4 and 8 of the Slough Local Development Framework, Core Strategy 2006 – 2026, Development Plan Document, December 2008 and policies H20 and EN1 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004.
- The applicant is advised that the insertion of additional residential facilities within the bedrooms hereby approved, other than those considered to be incidental to that of the dwellinghouse is likely to result in enforcement action being taken by the Local Planning Authority. If the applicant is in any doubt as to what is considered to be 'incidental', they are advised to seek advice from the Local Planning Authority.
- It is the view of the Local Planning Authority that the proposed development does improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area for the reasons given in this notice and it is in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The applicant is advised that more than six residents living within a house in multiple occupation would be considered to be a sui generis use, requiring planning permission.
