Slough council has turned down an application to create a new middle/secondary school on Bath Road in Slough. This application was for a change of use from an office - Owen White Solicitors, based in Senate House at 62-70, Bath Road. The applicant currently runs the Durul Madinah school at Darvills Lane, an independent Islamic School with 74 pupils which has been operating since September 2019. But Slough Borough Council planning officers disagreed this would be enough parking spaces and raised concerns that there was not an adequate pick-up/drop-off arrangement in place. They also noted the proposal would increase use of the access to the site, located at a busy point on Bath Road.
