More than 6,000 outbuildings are to be investigated by a Berkshire council in a bid to target landlords who rent
them out without planning permission.
Slough Borough Council said the outbuildings had been
identified by aerial thermal-imaging in March.
The authority said further checks now needed to be carried out to
establish whether people were living in them.
It had originally estimated up to 3,000 so-called "sheds with
beds" existed in the area. The investigation forms part of a £24,000
council project to deal with the problem of illegal occupation of buildings in
the town. Read more on the BBC website.
