Agenda item

SIFE Decision – The government has decided against this planning consent, though the landowner can appeal this decision.

The Slough LAF has been added as a consultee to the South Bucks and Chiltern Local Plan.  There will be public consultation events taking place in November relating to the south Bucks area which is cross boundary to Slough. JW and TH expressed interest in attending these. This consultation will be the preferred options sites.  TH referenced the small piece of land that Slough Borough Council own in South Bucks known as Lavendar Farm.  It seems that protecting the green belt is no longer the position of South Bucks as they can no longer afford to do this with current pressures.  JW tabled the draft LAF letter in response to the Slough Local Plan consultation for members’ approval.

Resolved – Members agreed the draft response to the Slough Local Plan consultation and JW would submit it.
