'Dilapidated' bungalows could be demolished

A row of eight 'dilapidated' bungalows could be demolished and replaced with new homes under plans submitted to Slough Borough Council.

Cardo Group – which manages Slough Borough Council's homes – wants planning permission for the new development on Humber Way in Langley.

Plans submitted to the council say the bungalows have long been empty and become a site for anti-social behaviour.

If planning permission is granted, the bungalows would be replaced with eight new houses – one with four bedrooms and the rest with three.

The plans say: "The existing block has been vacant for some time and is starting to fall into dilapidation and disrepair. This unfortunately but ultimately, has led to an increase in anti-social behaviour and vandalism across the wider area."

The designs are planned to be similar to already-approved plans to refurbish council flats at Garrick House on the same road.

The plans add that the proposed development would offer 'a much needed and sustainable option to increase local authority housing stock'.

The proposals are still awaiting approval by Slough Borough Council's planning department. But advice to developers before the application was submitted says planning officers 'welcome the principle of development' at the site.

It also says the design of the new homes on Humber Way would be rolled out 'across the wider estate'.
