Plans for more than 400 homes in Windsor were given the go-ahead with unanimous support last night. Royal Borough councillors approved the planning permission for 413 homes to be built at Sawyers Close by housing provider, Abri with seven votes to none at the Windsor and Ascot Development Management Committee on Thursday (December 7). Windsor resident, Sonya Robinson objected to the ‘outrageous overdevelopment’ based on the developers planning to create a ‘concrete jungle’. Councillor Julian Tisi (Lib Dem, Eton and Castle) added: "We have a massive need for social housing, and this is an opportunity. If we were to vote this down today, I think it would be unfair to the existing residents and future residents as well."
