Free Event for RBWM Neighbourhood Plan Groups - 'Evidencing your Neighbourhood Plan'

Free Event for Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan Groups: 'Evidencing your Neighbourhood Plan'

CCB (the Community Council for Berkshire) is organising a free event for community activists in RBWM who are engaged in Neighbourhood Planning.

The Windsor & Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan Groups are starting to make real progress towards development of their plan policies.  The Ascot & the Sunnings plan is nearly ready for submission for examination and nationally more and more Neighbourhood Plans are passing this important stage.  Nationally there are now 3 Neighbourhood Plans that have been made:
•    Upper Eden in Cumbria
•    Thame in Oxfordshire
•    Exeter St James in Exeter

Many more have now been submitted for examination.

It has been a sharp learning curve for all of the community volunteers who have given their time towards developing these plans.  As each new plan comes forward we are able to learn from their experiences.

Now is the time for RBWM groups to examine the evidence that will support their own Neighbourhood Plan policies.  Without sound evidence a plan is unlikely to stand up to scrutiny and may be challenged in the future.

On Thursday the 7th of November, CCB , in partnership with the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead will run an evening event to help groups identify: what evidence is available to them, how to interpret it, and where professional advice may be required.  The event will be held at Maidenhead Town Hall from 6.30pm.

Places are limited.  If you are interested in attending this event contact Arlene Kersley at CCB on 0118 961 2000 or by email:  arlene.kersley@ccberks.org.uk.
