Finchampstead Neighbourhood Plan
Finchampstead Parish Council has submitted its draft neighbourhood plan to us, and now we want to know what you think of it.
This plan aims to manage future development in the area to better reflect the community's wishes and take greater account of what makes the area special to them.
If it's adopted following independent examination and a referendum after that, it will be used to help us decide all planning applications within Finchampstead parish.
You can read more including the supporting evidence below, or scroll further down to find out how to respond. We're consulting on the draft plan for six weeks from 12 October until 23 November, as we're legally required to do.

While leaving comments, you can ask us to tell you when a final decision has been made on adopting the plan.
