Local Plan Review: Latest Updates

At a meeting of Full Council on 1 December 2022, the West Berkshire Local Plan Review 2022-2039 Proposed Submission (Regulation 19) Consultation version 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 on the LPR Proposed Submission document ran between 4pm on Friday 20 January 2023 and 4:30pm on Friday 3 March 2023. You can access the consultation documents here.

Officers are currently reviewing the consultation responses. The responses received will be made available to view in the next few weeks on the Local Plan Consultation Portal, after individual representations have been processed.

All comments will be submitted later in 2023 to the Secretary of State, together with the submission LPR, supporting documentation and a summary of the main issues raised in the representations. A Planning Inspector will be appointed to carry out an independent examination of the LPR.
