Read the current Local Plan

The West Berkshire Local Plan is made up of three key documents, which we've explained below. 

Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD)

The Core Strategy is a development plan document which sets out our overall planning strategy to 2026. It explains our vision for the area, and how it will be delivered.  It also provides a framework for more detailed policies which will be contained in future development plan documents prepared as part of the Local Plan.

Housing Site Allocations Development Plan Document 

The Housing Site Allocations DPD implements the framework set by the Core Strategy by allocating non-strategic housing sites across West Berkshire. It also allocates sites for Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople, sets out residential parking standards and policies to guide housing development in the countryside.
