Neighbourhood plans

The Localism Act introduces statutory neighbourhood planning in England.

Cookham Neighbourhood Plan 2021-2038: Submission Version - Regulation 16 Consultation

Cookham Parish Council has submitted a Neighbourhood Plan for the Cookham neighbourhood area. The Plan sets out the local community’s aspirations for the Plan area over the period to 2038 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 Cookham Neighbourhood Plan 2021-2038 Submission Stage (Regulation 16) consultation took place between Monday 6 January 2025 and Monday 17 February 2025.

Following the closure of the consultation, the Submission Plan will be subject to an independent examination.  All comments received in response to this consultation will be considered by an Examiner as part of the examination process. If it is successful, there would then be a referendum on whether the plan should be brought into force (‘made’) or not.

Please remember that the Examiner will only be assessing whether the plan meets the basic conditions and other relevant legal requirements as laid out in the Localism Act 2011.
