Eligible local authorities were invited to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to request a share of this funding. Those have been reviewed, and 133 local authorities have been awarded a share of £9.31 million Green Belt review funding.
Wokingham’s joint application with Windsor and Maidenhead, Slough, and Bracknell Forest councils has been awarded a combined £280,000.
In addition to this funding, the government has announced funding to support with local plan delivery.
