Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan

Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan

The Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by the Maidenhead Neighbourhood Forum for the neighbourhood area of Maidenhead.  The plan sets out the local community's aspirations for the Plan area over the period to 2039 and establishes policies in relation to land use and development.  It sets out the Vision for the Plan area and planning policies to guide future development to help determine planning applications in the area. 

The Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan was formally 'made' (i.e. adopted) by the Borough Council on 21 April 2026.

Background to the Preparation of the Plan

The Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to the Council on 28 August 2025.

Following an independent examination, the Examiner's Report was received on 6 January 2026.  

A Decision Statement confirming the Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan could proceed to referendum was issued by the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead on 5 February 2026.  The Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan then successfully passed the public Referendum with 90% of those voting being in favour of the Plan.  

The Neighbourhood Plan now forms part of the Borough Council's Development Plan and will be used when determining planning applications.

You can look at documents from earlier stages of preparing the neighbourhood plan on the emerging Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan webpage.
