The Local Plan for Slough sets out policies to control development and to provide a framework for co-ordinating and directing development and the use of land up to 2006.
The Local Plan was adopted by Slough in March 2004. The plan, including the proposals map, is available in PDF format below. The policies of the Local Plan comply with the Berkshire Structure Plan which was adopted in 1995 and altered in 1997, as well as regional and national planning guidance.
Please note that the Core Strategy 2006-2026 policies are now also a material consideration for all planning applications. See the Core Strategy heading below for further details.

Due to new planning legislation (The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004), the Local Plan is currently being replaced by the Local Development Framework. The first document to be produced under this is the Core Strategy and this was submitted to the Secretary of State for examination in November 2007.
As part of the submission of the Core Strategy, approval was also obtained from Full Council to allow the document to be used for development control purposes. The Core Strategy policies are therefore now a material consideration, alongside the Local Plan, when a planning permission application is considered. For further information on the Core Strategy and to obtain the full document, please visit the Core Strategy page from the link below.
Under the planning legislation, the policies in the Local Plan for Slough were only saved until September 2007. In order to extend the life of selected Local Plan policies the Council submitted a list of the policies it wanted to be saved beyond this timeframe to GOSE in March 2007.
A total of 87 out of 140 Local Plan policies were therefore proposed to be saved. In September, the Secretary of State confirmed that all of the requested Slough Local Plan policies had been saved. Details of the saved (and deleted) policies are provided below.
