Wokingham borough council’s ruling executive has approved a six week consultation on the submission draft Sonning Neighbourhood Plan;
The January meeting also agreed to appoint an examiner to independently examine the submission of the draft plan.
The Sonning Neighbourhood Plan, or SNP, has been jointly developed by Sonning parish council (SPC) and the Sonning & Sonning Eye society (SSES).
The draft plan has been produced by a steering group comprising representatives from the two organisations and village residents.
The group has communicated with residents throughout the process by way of public meetings, maildrops and articles in the SPC newsletter, the SSES “Bridge” magazine and the “Sonning Buzz” Facebook group.
To the extent possible, therefore, it reflects the views and aspirations of the majority of Sonning residents
Regulations governing neighbourhood planning require the submission of a draft plan to the council, as the local planning authority, and for the council to publish the plan for consultation and arrange for its independent examination.
