The Order will facilitate the comprehensive regeneration of two residential tower blocks in Chalvey, Slough for the delivery of 193 new homes. The regeneration scheme is unusual in that it will provide for a 100% affordable housing development, to be let at a Living Rent. The Inspector identified that the provision of 100% affordable housing would “represent a significant achievement and a considerable boost to the supply of much needed affordable homes” and that the scheme as a whole would deliver “substantial and significant public benefits”.

Caroline Daly appeared for the successful acquiring authority, instructed by Tom Barton at Mishcon de Reya.
