Call for sites – Wokingham Borough Local Plan 2045

Landowners, developers and others are invited to suggest sites in Wokingham Borough they believe have potential for development.

We’ll use the information gathered to help us understand how and where development might be managed when preparing our new local plan, the Wokingham Borough Local Plan 2045.

We’ll assess all suggested sites for their suitability for development, availability and whether they’re achievable by 2045.

Suggesting a site does not mean it will be selected as being suitable for development, allocated for development or given planning permission.

Sites can be suggested by anyone or any organisation, regardless of whether you’re the landowner or have a legal interest.

Your site suggestions

Your suggestions for all kinds of development are welcomed. That includes land for new housing, including market and affordable housing, housing for older people, and gypsy and traveller and travelling showpeople pitches and plots.

It also includes sites for other types of developments, such as employment, retail, recreation, community and renewable energy generation.

The government sets housing need local authorities like us must look for ways to deliver. For Wokingham Borough, this is currently just over 1,300 new homes a year.

The level of need for other types of development, such as employment, retail, and community services such as education and health, are not set by government and will be established as our Local Plan 2045 takes shape.

Please read ‘How to suggest a site’ and some guidance notes below before starting to suggest a site.
