Slough Borough Council is selling a piece of unused land off Churchill Road, near Broom House it announced yesterday (6 November 2024).
At the moment, the site is in two parts:
The site will be going to auction on 21 November through online site BidX1.
The residents of Broom House have been advised of the sale, as though the flats and car park will remain the same, there will be a right of access to the site through the Broom House car park.
The site had previously received planning permission for four homes, though that permission has now lapsed.
The sale is part of the council’s programme of asset sales which is designed to release unused parcels of land and buildings within the borough to bring them back into use.
It follows earlier sales that targeted out-of-borough assets and land and buildings within the borough which could net high returns to help stabilise the council’s financial position.
The disposals programme continues after a comprehensive re-evaluation of all assets; including those which continue to provide a positive return on investment and are therefore of benefit to the council.
Councillor Wal Chahal, lead member for finance and assets, said: “This old garage site is unsightly, and we hope it can be transformed into something far more attractive, potentially much-needed homes.
“We have a programme of assets which we will be bringing to market over the coming months, land and buildings which can be brought back to life and enhance the town or where long leases make them attractive to other freeholders.”
Any purchaser of the site will be required to obtain appropriate permissions, with any design being sensitive to neighbouring properties and the large, protected tree. | ||||
