Welcome to your planning policy update
 Joint Minerals and Waste Plan is adopted
The Joint Minerals and Waste Plan for Central and Eastern Berkshire was adopted by Wokingham Borough Council on Thursday 19 January 2023.
We have worked with Bracknell Forest, Reading Borough and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Councils to produce the Joint Minerals and Waste Plan which covers our administrative areas.
This strategic document will guide decision-making and activities around mineral extraction and waste management across the Central and Eastern Berkshire authorities until 2036.
The adopted Plan now forms part of the Development Plan for Wokingham Borough and will be used to help determine relevant planning applications. This supersedes saved policies in the Replacement Minerals Local Plan for Berkshire (incorporating the alterations adopted in December 1997 and May 2001) and the Waste Local Plan for Berkshire (adopted 1998).
Any person aggrieved by the adoption of the Joint Minerals and Waste Plan may make an application to the High Court under section 113 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Applications must state that the document is one or both of the following:
- not within the appropriate powers
- a procedural requirement has not been complied with
Any such application must be made before the end of the period of six weeks beginning on the day after the relevant date of adoption (19 January 2023). The challenge period for Wokingham Borough Council therefore ends on 3 March 2023.
