We were asked if we could raise our concerns to the council about the distribution of important information.
Only two people in the room had received the new local plan information.
The garden centres will be taken out of the plan as they are Green Belt and safe guarded land, but they could still be used in the future.
- Local Green Belt Issues (Water Oakley and Down Place).
A member raised concerns about the extra light pollution which would come from this development.
A member raised concerns over this development due to the fact that there was no consideration to the local area e.g. Social housing and no additional benefits to our area.
A member was concerned about Farmglade building on the “Golden Gap” between Windsor and Maidenhead, and where the Ward boundaries were?
David Short spoke about the development and the communication that had taken place about lighting, gardens shielding etc.
