Policy CG4 (Slough Arm of the Grand Union Canal)

The enhancement of the recreational value of the Slough Arm of the Grand Union Canal will be sought by encouraging improved access as well as landscape improvements to the canal corridor.

Proposed development adjacent to the canal will be permitted provided it meets all the following criteria:

  • the scale, height, mass, and orientation of buildings respect and enhance the appearance of the canal frontage as well as adjacent development and land uses;
  • a comprehensive landscaping scheme is included which is appropriate to the canal setting and enhances its nature conservation value; and
  • access to the canal corridor is maintained and, where appropriate, provision of new or improved access will be sought.
