Redsky Homes Ltd, which owns The Willow Tree site in Station Road, Langley, has applied to make changes to its plan to knock it down and replace it with 41 flats.

The developer won permission to build a five storey apartment building which was allowed on appeal in August 2021, despite the appeal inspector admitting the building would overlook into neighbouring gardens.

Now, Redsky has applied to change the plan for the car park to comply with adjustments to the building which would provide a second fire escape for future occupants.

Plans show 17 parking spaces being provided outside of the building, with four being reserved for electric vehicles.

Progress is being made on an innovative scheme to build a house at ruins in Windsor.

An outline plan to build a modern home that incorporates the ruins of an 18th century mansion at St Leonard’s Hill was approved in February 2021.

The mansion, which dates back to at least the 1780s, was expanded in the 1800s before its demolition around 1935.

Now, agents for the owner have submitted drainage details for the new home.
