Townscape Assessment

The Townscape Assessment was approved in August 2010. It considers the character of built-up areas across the Royal Borough, so allowing these special qualities to be better understood and reflected in decision making. In particular the study:

• Provides a factual description of townscape for the towns and larger villages;
• Defines broad areas of common townscape type and their key characteristics; and
• Recommends broad design principles for integrating development.

The study has been produced in three volumes: 1) Maidenhead and Cookham, 2) Windsor and 3) Ascot. Copies of the documents can be downloaded by following the links below:

• Townscape Assessment: Maidenhead and Cookham Areas
• Townscape Assessment: Windsor Group
• Townscape Assessment: Ascot Group

Alternatively, copies of the study can be ordered at a cost of £75 inclusive of postage and packaging, or emailed for the same cost (please see the Planning Policy Publications Guide for payment details). Orders will be fulfilled as soon as possible, subject to availability. Please note that orders can be fulfilled considerably more quickly if the report is emailed than if a hard copy is requested.
