Public notices: Listed hotel changes and road closures

In the public notices this week, a historic hotel in Wexham is looking for retrospective permission for a minor change, while there are three road closures in Windsor.

Planning

The Langley Hotel on Uxbridge Road, George Green, Wexham, is looking for retrospective permission for something the company installed on the roof.

It already installed a rooftop safety railing on the main building of the hotel – but it needs an application for listed building consent in order to be permitted to do this by the council.

Langley Park House and the Clockhouse, both included in the site, are Grade II listed buildings – both set within the Langley Park Historic Park or Garden (also Grade II listed).

The proposed roof gantry is ‘required to allow safe access for maintenance purposes.’

The system is proposed to be collapsible when not in use ‘to improve the external appearance of the whole building.’

It would ‘not be visible from ground level’ and would have ‘a negligible impact’ to the Grade II listed Main House.

It does not involve alterations to the historic fabric of the building and retains the architectural features on the roof level.

“It is therefore considered that the proposed roof gantry will preserve its character and appearance and ensur[e] the long-term maintenance of the hotel,” wrote RPS Consulting Service Ltd, representing the applicants.

The proposed alteration has been discussed with a South Bucks conservation officer.

Road closures

Windsor and Maidenhead council is looking to close Albert Road in Windsor from its junction with The Long Walk eastward for a distance of 90 metres.

This is for essential sewer cover replacement works.

The closure is set to be from 9pm to 11.59pm on Thursday, October 26.

For cars, the diversion route will be via Straight Road, Priest Hill, St Judes Road, London Road, Blacknest Gate, London Road, Winkfield Road, Windsor Road, Peanut Roundabout, Sheet Street Road and Kings Road.

Meanwhile, the council is also looking to close King Stable Street between the boundaries of numbers 20 and 21.

This is for trunk main valve repair – but there is no alternative route available.

The closure is planned daily between 8am to 5pm from Monday, November 6 to Wednesday, November 8.

Lastly, the Royal Borough is seeking to close Meadow Lane for 40m at Railway Bridge – 20m east and 20m west.

This will be from 8am and 4pm on Wednesday, November 8.

There is no diversion route available.
