The West Berkshire Local Plan Review 2022-2039 (LPR) is currently undergoing independent examination. Main Modifications are being proposed to the LPR, and we consulted on these for an 8 week period between Friday 6 December 2024 and 11.59pm on Friday 31 January 2025.

As part of the consultation we invited representations on the the following documents:

All representations received by the Council will be sent to the Inspector, along with a report listing all of the representations, a brief summary of the main issues raised and a brief Council response to those main issues. These will also be published on the Local Plan Review webpage in due course.

The Inspector will consider all of the representations and the Council's responses to them before finalising and issuing his Examination Report. At this stage, it is not envisaged any further hearing sessions will be held unless the Inspector considers it essential to deal with any substantial issues arising from the consultation.
