  • Full Council 25Th January 2021 Agenda Item No.: 17Iii REGULATION 18 CONSULTATION on the EMERGING DRAFT of the WEST BERKSHIRE
    Full Council 25th January 2021 Agenda Item No.: 17iii REGULATION 18 CONSULTATION ON THE EMERGING DRAFT OF THE WEST BERKSHIRE LOCAL PLAN REVIEW TO 2037 Initial draft response to the consultation, prepared by Councillor Lister, Leader of the Council. This document is a work in progress. We note that the Sustainability Assessment is an interim document and separate comments are sought. Our feedback to the Sustainability Assessment is included in our response to the Local Plan, policy SP 17, as advised by West Berkshire Officers. Section 1.4 • "contribute to the achievement of sustainable development … such that the right development happens in the right place at the right time benefiting communities and the economy. We acknowledge the needs for sustainable development and the importance of selecting the right place, at the right time. There are different pressures on communities - ensuring 'viable villages' in rural areas is as important as respecting the limits to growth in more urbanised areas that may be constrained by geography or through limits on infrastructure. Where infrastructure is constraining growth in one area then it is necessary to consider growth in other areas. Section 1.12 • "the Local Plan will replace in one document the three documents listed above" We welcome the merger of the 3 documents as this should enable West Berkshire Council to articulate a clear strategic vision for the district. This must align with sustainable growth that takes into account the challenge of moving towards a net-zero carbon. We are unclear on the status of the Sustainability Appraisal, in which an interim version has been published.
