1,000 homes at Akzonobel At an extraordinary meeting in August, a majority of the planning committee approved outline plans to add 1,000 homes at the ‘landmark’ former Akzo Nobel Decorative Paints factory on Wexham Road, after years of consultation and discussion. Only the outline plans – which submitted by international real estate company Panattoni – of the development in principle were approved, which means the details of the scheme will be voted on by councillors at a later planning meeting.
