Maidenhead Waterways Framework

The Maidenhead Waterway Project is an ambitious plan that aims to transform the waterway that flows from the Cliveden Reach of the River Thames at Cookham, through Maidenhead to Bray Marina, into a valuable amenity, for the benefit of all those who live, work and spend their leisure time in the area. The project is promoted by the Maidenhead Waterways Restoration Group and supported by the council.

The waterway restoration is one of five key priority regeneration projects identified in "A Vision for Maidenhead Town Centre", the vision and action plan commissioned by the Partnership for the Rejuvenation of Maidenhead (PRoM) and subsequently adopted by the council has a long-term strategy for the town centre.

As part of its local planning strategy, the council has produced a planning brief - the "Maidenhead Waterways Framework", to guide future planning decisions along the waterway corridor. Its purpose is to aid the restoration of the waterway including the achievement of the emerging Maidenhead Waterway Project. The planning brief will help ensure that future planning policy and the design of developments contribute to the overall aim of restoring the waterway and avoid potential obstacles to the delivery of the Maidenhead Waterways Project. The preparation of the planning brief has been subject to scrutiny through sustainability appraisal.

The planning brief and accompanying sustainability appraisal were adopted by the council in June 2009 and are available to view or download below.
