Plans for more than 100 new apartments in Slough have been given the green light.

Slough Borough Council approved plans to convert and extend a four-storey former apart-hotel in Bath Road into 106 new flats.

Kingsbridge Estates Planning and Property Development will transform the existing building, which is made up of 48 one-bedroom and 16 studios apartments, into a block with 53 studios, 53 one-bedroom flats and six two-bedroom flats.

There will also be 124 car parking spaces, as well as disabled spaces and electric charging points.

There will be no affordable housing in the scheme after it was deemed to be “unviable”.

Jim Bailey, a director based in Pegasus Group’s Bracknell office, which secured the permission on behalf of Kingsbridge Estates Ltd, said: “We commissioned Kempton Carr Croft to undertake a viability assessment, which proved that affordable housing would not be viable in the scheme.

“Pegasus Group prepared a Transport Statement, swept path drawings and travel plan, and we spoke in favour of the application at the committee meeting.

“We then oversaw the completion and signing of a section 106 agreement, which secured infrastructure contributions and local footpath improvements.”

Kingsbridge Estates planning and property development director Mark Hooper said: “Pegasus Group has assisted us with a number of important developments in recent years.

“They have proved their worth by mapping out an effective strategy for each scheme, pro-actively engaging with council officers and ensuring that the best possible permission is secured in the least possible time.

“We continue to work with them on a variety of projects, because they add value with their experience and knowledge of the planning system.”
