Reading Borough Council is asking residents to give their views on the development of the area\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

Residents living in Reading will have the opportunity to have their say over the development and protection of local sites.<\/p>\n

The new local plan will replace the current development plan, \u2018The core strategy: Reading Central area action plan and sites and detailed policies\u2019, and will cover the period spanning until 2036.<\/p>\n

Local plans are mandatory for all local authorities following changes to planning policy. These plans will be used to shape the future development of towns and cities across the country.<\/p>\n

The consultation document \u2018Issues and Options\u2019 puts forward a discussion of what should be included in the local plan and what the strategy should be going forward. This document is a discussion paper, not a draft plan, but contains key questions such as the number of homes that should be built each year and a list of sites for potential development.<\/p>\n

The borough council is now seeking feedback from residents to ensure local views are considered before the planning document is finalised.<\/p>\n

The consultation will run until 7 March 2016. During this period, residents are invited to send their views to the planning policy team. Additionally, a number of consultation events will also be held during February to consider the pertinent questions relating to Reading\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Three interactive workshops will take place throughout February:<\/p>\n

Tilehurst Village Hall, Victoria Road, RG31 5AB – Thursday 4th February 7.30pm to 9.30pm<\/p>\n

Church House, 59 Church Street, Caversham, RG4 8AX – Tuesday 16th February 7pm to 9pm<\/p>\n

Civic Offices, Bridge Street, RG1 2LU (Committee Room 4a\/4b) – Wednesday 24th February, 7pm to 9pm<\/p>\n

Additionally, drop-in events will also be held at the following locations:<\/p>\n

Civic Offices, Bridge Street, RG1 2LU (main reception) – Monday 15th February, 2pm to 7pm and Tuesday 16th February, 1pm to 6pm<\/p>\n

St Paul’s Church Hall, Whitley Wood Lane, RG2 8PN – Friday 19th February, 2pm to 6.30pm<\/p>\n
