The Planning Committee meets every month.  The list of applications to be considered at the next meeting can be viewed here. 

The Committee aims to safeguard the local environment for residents. The Parish Council is a statutory consultee, not the decision maker. The decision is made by the Planning Authority, Wokingham Borough Council, who take into account our comments along with those of other consultees and residents. The document here outlines how the Parish Council fits in to the planning application process.

The work of the Committee includes:

  • Consideration of all local planning applications and submitting comments to Wokingham Borough Council. 
  • Attendance at appeals (informal hearings and public inquiries).
  • Monitoring enforcement issues.
  • Monitoring Tree Preservation Orders.

The Committee uses the policies of the Finchampstead Neighbourhood Development Plan  as a basis for formulating its comments on planning applications.
