Planning inspector David Hogger has given the go-ahead to Maidenhead’s area action plan.
The plan sets out a framework to rejuvenate and redevelop the Berkshire town.
Richard Kellaway, the council’s lead member for Maidenhead, said: “The regeneration of Maidenhead is a council priority and the stamp of approval for the AAP is a significant step forward. The plan stood up to intense public scrutiny by the inspector and now we have a document fit to meet the challenges ahead. This is the best possible decision for the future of Maidenhead.”
The council will formally adopt the plan later in the summer, subject to two small areas of change recommended by the inspector. These relate to the redevelopment of existing tall buildings, which he has said may be replaced subject to strict criteria, and scope for additional development at the Stafferton Way opportunity area where it provides more flexibility.
