The Neighbourhood Plan

The Englefield Green Neighbourhood Plan was approved by over 85% of voters at the Referendum held on 13th December 2023 and ratified by Runnymede Borough Council in January 2024 meaning that it now has to be taken in to account as part of the planning process.

The foundation of the plan came from feedback and input from residents and it provides an important roadmap for the future development of Englefield Green and the surrounding area. It strengthens existing Planning rules, provides detailed design codes for new buildings, protects green spaces and heritage and allows the Forum to use a minimum of 25% of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) on improving the infrastructure in our Village.

Key is that it also includes ancillary documents that suggest a series of projects designed to improve the infrastructure and ambiance of the Village. Now that the plan is 'made' the Forum Steering Committee will continue to monitor, oppose or support planning applications and advise members and promote physical improvements in the private and public domain and the ecology of our area for the benefit of residents.
