Call for sites (2026)
Slough Borough Council is preparing a new Local Plan (2026-2046), which will guide how land is used and developed across the borough.
As part of the early stage of plan-making, we are inviting landowners, developers, organisations and members of the public to suggest sites that may have potential for future use or development.
What is the Call for Sites
The Call for Sites is an opportunity to tell us about land that could help meet Slough’s future needs.
This could include land for:
- housing
- employment or commercial uses
- mixed-use development
- infrastructure (such as transport or utilities)
- community facilities (such as schools, health and leisure)
- open space or recreation
- environmental enhancement or nature recovery
- renewable or low-carbon energy
- Gypsy and Traveller or Travelling Showpeople accommodation
Sites can be previously developed (brownfield) or greenfield, vacant, occupied or underused, and in any ownership, including public, private or voluntary sectors.
Consultation dates
The Call for Sites will run alongside the Local Plan scoping consultation:
- opens: Monday 13 July 2026
- closes: 11:59pm on Monday 24 August 2026
Our Engagement and consultation page has details on how to submit a site, during this period.
Who can submit a site
We welcome submissions from landowners, developers and site promoters, businesses and infrastructure providers, community groups and organisations, and members of the public.
Submit a site
Sites should be submitted using the council’s online submission form which asks for all the information needed to assess your site, such as site location and boundary, proposed use, capacity, availability, ownership (where available), constraints, and delivery timescales.

If you submitted a site as part of the 2025 Call for Sites:
- you do not need to submit it again. These sites will continue to be considered as part of the Local Plan evidence base
- however, please notify us by email planningpolicy@slough.gov.uk if the information previously provided has changed.
Our Engagement and consultation page has details on how to submit a site, during the consultation period: Monday 13 July 2026 to 11:59pm on Monday 24 August 2026.
Important information
The submission of a site does not imply that it will be allocated in the Local Plan, or granted planning permission.
All sites will be assessed as part of the Local Plan process, having regard to evidence on housing and employment needs, environmental constraints, infrastructure capacity, and relevant national and local planning policy and guidance.
Sites and their proposed uses may be published as part of the Local Plan evidence base. Personal data will be handled in accordance with data protection legislation.
What happens next
After the Call for Sites closes:
- all submissions will be reviewed and assessed
- sites will be considered as part of the Local Plan evidence base
- the information will help inform future consultation stages
There will be further opportunities to comment as the Local Plan progresses.
