What’s next
This exercise forms part of our evidence gathering for the Local Plan. The Local Plan is an important part of the planning system and has a major role in deciding planning applications and supporting regeneration. The Slough Local Plan will set out policies to balance the competing demands for space within Slough Borough Council’s boundary, in particular for new homes and jobs.
