 Joint Minerals and Waste Plan takes the next step
The Central and Eastern Berkshire Authorities (Bracknell Forest, Reading Borough, The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and Wokingham Borough) have received the Inspector's Report into the examination of the Joint Minerals and Waste Plan.
Shaped through a series of consultations over the last five years, the Joint Plan is a strategic document which will guide decision-making and activities around mineral extraction and waste management across the Central and Eastern Berkshire authorities until 2036.
The Inspector's Report concludes that, subject to the recommended main modifications set out in the appendix to the report, the Joint Minerals and Waste Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 20(5) of the 2004 Act and is sound, legally compliant and has met the requirements of the Duty to Co-operate.
To find out more and to view the Inspector's Report, notice of publication and the schedule of main modifications, take a look at the Joint Minerals and Waste Plan website.
What happens next?
We propose to take a report to Council in January 2023 to decide whether to adopt the Joint Plan. If adopted, the policies will then form part of the Wokingham Borough Development Plan and be used by the council to determine planning applications.
