Wokingham Borough Council is in the process of preparing a new local plan – the Local Plan Update.
This sets out the planning policies the council will use to manage development across the borough. Once adopted, it will replace the policies set out in the council’s current local plans.
The council has now published the next version of the plan, known as the Proposed Submission Plan (Regulation 19), for comment.
