Over the next 15 years land for 90 new homes must be found within the civil Parish of Lambourn. We need additional housing so that our Parish can thrive, ensuring that it is a place where people can live and work.
Your input is essential
During the last Consultation Phase, you clearly stated that you would prefer the Parish Council to allocate sites for development. You said decisions of this nature should be taken locally, by people with a much better understanding of the character of the Parish, rather than West Berkshire Council allocating sites as they have done previously.
You asked, we listened and have responded
After much deliberation we agreed that this task should be undertaken as part of the Local Neighbourhood Development Plan (LNDP) with the full backing of the Parish Council.
- The LNDP issued a “call for sites” and 9 sites have been put forward by landowners
- These sites have been assessed by our Consultants, Bluestone Planning.
- This information will be shared with you
- Land now needs to be identified for development.
We need to ensure that we get this right
- We need to allocate land for additional housing to meet local requirements
- We need to ensure that we preserve the rural character of the Parish
- We need to protect this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
This Consultation offers you a real opportunity to have your voice heard
In addition, help us identify what policies we need to put in place to support us growing our community and making changes that will enhance the Parish. There will also be an opportunity to comment on West Berkshire Council’s Local Plan Review.
Your Parish, Your Plan
