with bar and restaurant in the heart of Windsor have been submitted to the council. Canada Life, the developers, have submitted plans to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead to redevelop the Boots site on 17/18 Peascod Street. The major development will take place behind Boots – which will be replaced with a slightly smaller store – on Mellor Walk by Bachelors Lane where the main frontage of the hotel will be based. Originally, the plans were for 124-bedrooms, but the developers managed to squeeze another room into the scheme. Planning permission could be granted next spring and, if approved, construction could start in the summer with a possible opening date in late 2022/early 2023.

Change of use from office to Chinese restaurant with takeaway at 254 Farnham Road, Slough (P/00889/003). Vacant offices will be converted into a new Chinese restaurant and takeaway after planning officers at Slough Borough Council gave approval. Four full-time staff will be employed. The restaurant will open seven days a week, 11am – 11:30pm. The existing shopfront will be retained with internal alterations to create customer seating area, back of house with wash and prep area and single-storey front side extension to create extra customer seating area.
. During a virtual exhibition on December 8 (Tuesday), Canada Life revealed plans to redevelop the Boots store on 17/18 Peascod Street. The major development will be behind Boots – which will be replaced with a slightly smaller store – on Mellor Walk by Bachelors Acre where the main frontage of the hotel will be based. A restaurant, bar, and back of house facilities have also been proposed. The developers said the Boots store is “substantially over-sized” in the changing retail market where a hotel would boost Windsor’s tourism, as well as businesses on Peascod Street and the wider centre. With Covid-19 battering the hospitality sector, Duncan Mathieson, the scheme’s development consultant, said they are “very confident” the hotel will be sustainable in a post-Covid world.
