The development fails to comply with Policies T2 and T3 of the Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004 in that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the development will provide car parking in accordance with adopted Slough Borough Council Parking Standards 1998, both in terms of the levels of provision and the layout of the car parking. The development if permitted is therefore likely to lead to additional demand for on street parking in an area which currently experiences significant problems with on street parking thereby adding to existing congestion problems to the detriment of general highway safety and convenience. 2. A holding objection is raised on the grounds that the developer has not entered into a legal agreement with the Council for: the carrying out of essential off site highway works in the form of improved signage and road markings;, the provision of a shuttle bus service between the site and the 4 Terminals at Heathrow Airport; the mechanisms to be put in place for managing and operating the shuttle bus service and on site car parking, including any scale of charges to be imposed; and preparation of a Green Travel Plan for staff and guests.
