Local Plan Review: Latest Updates

At a meeting of Full Council on 1 December 2022, the proposed submission (Regulation 19) version of the West Berkshire Local Plan Review 2022-2039 (LPR) and its supporting documents were presented to Councillors. Councillors agreed that these documents could be subject to public consultation. You can view the council papers here, and watch the Council meeting on YouTube.

The statutory Regulation 19 consultation took place between 4pm on Friday 20 January 2023 and 4.30pm on Friday 3 March 2023. The responses we received were published on our consultation portal on 23 March 2023 and can be viewed here.

The LPR was submitted to the Secretary of State on 31 March 2023. An Inspector has now been appointed to undertake an independent examination of the LPR in relation to legal compliance and soundness matters. The Inspector will take into account representations submitted at the Regulation 19 stage (consultation on the Proposed Submission version of the LPR).

Further information on the documents that were submitted and the independent examination can be found here.
