en.Wedoany.com Reported - Muse and Homes England have submitted a planning application to transform the 3.6-hectare former Thames Valley University site into a mixed-use community, delivering approximately 1,500 homes, offices, shops, cafes, and community facilities over the next decade.
Located in Slough town centre, the site is a cornerstone of the wider regeneration plan. Homes England acquired the site from Slough Borough Council in 2023. The overall scheme includes a landmark 250,000 sq ft office building, 45,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space, a nursery for 100 children, a large community event space, and significantly improved public spaces.
A detailed planning application for the first phase has been submitted, covering two development plots that will deliver 798 rental homes. This includes 473 build-to-rent apartments and 325 co-living units, along with approximately 800 sq m of ground-floor commercial space (including a gym and cafe) and 240 sq m of retail space.
WSP is the engineering and technical lead for the project. Chris Scott, Development Director at Muse, said submitting the planning application is a significant milestone for the North West Quadrant project and the economic transformation of Slough town centre. The project plays a key role in the town centre's revival and, alongside other core developments, supports Slough Borough Council's long-term growth vision.
The professional team for the North West Quadrant project includes: Plot 1 architect tp bennett, residential architect (Plots 2-6) Grid Architects, MEP engineer HDR, structural and civil engineering AKT II, cost consultant RLB, and project management Stace. Muse has previously delivered several landmark projects in Slough through its regeneration partnership with the council, including The Curve cultural centre, Slough Ice Arena, The Centre development, Moxy hotel, and over 500 homes.
