Public notices: Plans for block of 12 flats in Forlease Road

The latest public notices in the Maidenhead Advertiser include plans to replace two empty homes in Forlease Road with a block of 12 flats.

Planning

Two homes in Maidenhead could be knocked down and replaced with flats, if the Royal Borough approves the plans.

The properties in Forlease Road date back to the 1930s-1950s and are currently vacant.

East Oakland Ltd is looking to demolish and replace them with an apartment building up to three storeys high.

The proposed residential building would include 12 flats ranging between one, two and three-bedrooms.

Six car park spaces are planned at the development as well as a communal roof garden.

A planning, design and access statement, prepared by Model Projects, said the development was likely to attract lower levels of car ownership due to it being a ‘highly accessible location’.

A total of 12 cycle parking spaces are also planned.

The scheme will create ‘high-quality enjoyable living spaces’, the planning documents said.

A planning application has been submitted for outline permission to build nine homes on greenbelt land in Shurlock Row.

Developer Castlemere Developments wants to build the properties on land next to Morland House in Hungerford Lane.

The proposals include four apartments, a pair of three-bedroom semi-detached homes and a trio of four-bedroom detached homes.

If approved, four of the homes, 45 per cent, would be classed as affordable housing.

A planning, design and access statement submitted on behalf of the applicant said the homes will be set back from Hungerford Lane.

The plans have received a number of objections from nearby residents.

One objector said the proposals represented overdevelopment of the greenbelt and would lead to an increase in traffic in Hungerford Lane which is regularly used by runners, horse riders and cyclists.

Traffic

A road closure is planned in Shurlock Row at the end of February.

The Street will be shut between the boundaries of a property known as South Cottage from 00:01 on Monday, February 23 to 23:59 on Friday, February 27.

A diversion route will be available via The Street, Hungerford Lane, Waltham Road, The Straight Mile and The Street.

The closure has been authorised so a new foul connection can be installed.
