Information from West Berkshire Council:
West Berkshire Local Plan Review (LPR) to 2036 Regulation 18 Consultation until 21 December 2018

West Berkshire Council is reviewing its Local Plan to cover the period up to 2036. Between February and March 2018 we invited comments on the proposed scope and content of the Review as the first part of our consultation under Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development)(England) Regulations 2012 (as amended). The comments and suggestions we received are summarised in our Scoping Report Consultation Statement and will be taken forward in the development of the spatial strategy and both strategic and local policies as appropriate.

We are now progressing the LPR with a second round of Regulation 18 consultation which also takes into account revised national policy (as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework that was published in July 2018) and the revisions made to parts of the national Planning Practice Guidance.

We are now seeking your comments on our proposed:
· vision for the LPR;
· revision of the existing spatial areas;
· methodology for reviewing the existing settlement hierarchy;
· criteria for the settlement boundary review; and
· update of our assessment of existing Local Plan policies.

This will be followed up with another consultation in the summer of 2019 with the publication of our assessments of sites that have been submitted to us as part of the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA).

We would welcome your feedback on our proposals which are set out in our Consultation Paper. Your comments should be submitted during the six week consultation period, running from Friday 9 November to 4:30pm on Friday 21 December 2018. They can be made:
