Squires
An application for 39 homes on the former Squires Garden Centre site has been submitted.
?
The centre, in Maidenhead Road, closed in October.
?
The site is on greenbelt land. Itforms part of the HA11 site in the Borough Local Plan which has been earmarked for 450 homes by the council.
?
Following the sale of the centre, an application has now been brought forward by developers Bewley Homes and Square Bay.
?
It includes plans for 39 homes and 81 car parking spaces provided by garages, carports and driveways.
?
The West Windsor Residents Association said: ?Housing is inevitable on that site with or without the BLP. But the biggest worry on that development is parking.
?
?Planning officers need to think about the provision of parking. Particularly in an area like Squires, which is poorly served by public transport.?
?
Cllr Ed Wilson added: ?The plans are for 39 properties which is less than we were led to believe would be brought forward. I still need to look at the detail.?
