Decision details

Further to the Cabinet decision of 17th July 2017, to consider the granting of options to Slough Urban Renewal (SUR) over Wexham Phase 3 in light of objections to the disposal of the open space and to consider whether The Lodge should remain part of the disposal proposition at Mercian Way.

(a)  That, having considered the objections to the proposed disposal (as at Appendix 1 to the report) and the summary report of the subsequent independent investigations (Appendix 2 to the report), Council officers proceed on the basis that the General Fund site at Norway Drive would be disposed to and developed by SUR for a commercial led mixed tenure housing scheme, subject to Cabinet approval of a transfer sum that represented no less than best value.

(b)  That The Lodge building at Mercian Way be removed from the demise of the Mercian Way disposal land as it was not a commercially viable disposal and involved the enforced displacement of a local resident.
