Slough: Elizabeth Line connectivity and proximity to Heathrow driving residential and commercial development.

Prices in Slough have shown strong growth, a year-on-year change of +5%. Within Berkshire, Slough ranks 5th by price out of 8 principal towns, and 4th by transaction volume.

The local planning authority for Slough approved 7 residential planning applications and refused 10 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 42 still awaiting a decision. Too few decisions were captured in the period to state a reliable approval rate. A further 1 residential decision in the period has no recorded outcome in the source data and is not counted above. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 2,697 homes, an estimated £998.2m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.
