  • Summary

  • Slough could be a big part of solving London's housing challenge, its housing delivery team believes. "Positionally and spatially it's absolutely marvellous; in population terms it's marvellous,” says Exec Director Pat Hayes. “And there's huge development opportunity: places with cleared brownfield sites, lots of space in the town centre, a massive opportunity in the industrial estate around Heathrow. So everything is going for Slough and the challenge is why it hasn't quite happened, and what we need to do to make it happen."

    Exactly.


    That's why we visited one of the borough's stalled town centre sites, to see what needs to change for Slough to deliver more homes. We cover CPOs, inexpert landlords, government trust in councils, a new use class for affordable homes, more flexible grant funding, a restrictive regulatory framework and much more.
