Neighbourhood Plan Update

Hurley and the Walthams Neighbourhood Plan will be the second Neighbourhood Plan in Windsor and Maidenhead to proceed to referendum.

On Monday, 13th of February, at a Steering Group meeting attended by Planning Policy Officers, Robert Paddington and Jennifer Jackson as well as Lead Member for Neighbourhood Planning, Cllr. Christine Bateson congratulated the group on their success in getting their plan through examination.

There was then detailed discussion about the modifications recommended by the Examiner.  The Steering Group have now voted to accept the recommended modifications, with one abstention.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead will now modify the Plan accordingly and arrange for a Referendum so that the electorate of Hurley and the Walthams can make the final decision whether or not to adopt the Neighbourhood Plan.

It has been years in the drafting, and many changes have had to be made, but it is hoped that the final HWNP will provide useful planning guidance for the area.

The final plan will be available as soon as the modifications are made.

CCB's Arlene Kersley was thanked by the Chairman of the Steering Group, Cllr. Maureen Hunt and Cllr Bateson for her support in getting the Plan through Examination and explaining the Examiner's report.
