Ascot Racecourse, Ascot Car Parks, Bloor Homes and The Crown Estate have interests in land in the vicinity of Ascot High Street. The site falls within the site known as Ascot Centre / High Street Rejuvenation, Adopted in the Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan. The site is identified for homes, retail and community space, and was adopted into local planning policy by an overwhelming vote of support from the parish in 2014.
The Ascot Centre Development Brief is centred around Ascot High Street and its rejuvenation. Ascot Centre has been identified within the Neighbourhood Plan, alongside Ascot Green (south of the High Street), as an area where development can address issues that currently constrain the High Street.
