Pair proposing to redevelop former university site in the town centre
Muse and Homes England have submitted plans for the regeneration of a former university site in Slough town centre.
The pair are engaged in a development partnership, agreed after the latter bought the 3.6ha site, formerly used by Thames Valley University, from Slough Borough Council in 2023.
The £640m redevelopment, labelled North West Quadrant, would see the construction of 1,500 new homes, an office, and 3,000 sq m of shops and cafes.
The scheme will also include a nursery, community events space, and new green areas.
“The submission of this planning application is a significant milestone for North West Quadrant and for the economic transformation of Slough town centre,” said Chris Scott, development director at Muse.
“The project plays a key role in the town centre’s regeneration and supports Slough Borough Council’s long‑term vision for growth, alongside other key town centre development projects.”
Through ongoing analysis and expert commentary, Regen Connect highlights the policies, funding streams and local priorities that matter most to the construction and development sector.
This coverage will culminate in a special report to be published at our Building the Future Live Conference in London on 7 October.
