The Castle Car Park in central Windsor has been put up for sale for development is currently being advertised by estate agents Bray Fox Smith and development consultants Montagu Evans.

The site, which has for many years been a controversial privately run car park, renowned for its strict enforcement of its parking conditions, would benefit from aesthetic improvement, however given the sensitive position of the site, next to the Thames riverscape and close to Windsor Castle and other historic buildings any development would need to be extremely sensitively done.
