  • PRE-SUBMISSION DRAFT READING BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012
    PRE-SUBMISSION DRAFT READING BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 November 2017 DRAFT READING BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN ● APRIL 2017 FOREWORD FOREWORD By Councillor Tony Page The Local Plan will be the document that guides development in Reading up to 2036, and it will therefore play a decisive role in how our town evolves over the next two decades. We are publishing this draft of the plan for consultation, and it is important to have your views on it, so that they can be taken into account in finalising the plan. Over recent years, Reading has had considerable economic success, and this has resulted in considerable investment to the town. However, this success brings its own issues. In particular, Reading faces a housing crisis. There are not enough homes in general, and there is a particularly acute need for affordable housing, which represents more than half of our overall housing need. This document is a major part of our response to this issue, although we continue to work with neighbouring Councils to look at the needs of the Reading area as a whole. Other critical issues to be considered include how to provide the employment space and supporting infrastructure to make sure that Reading’s attractiveness as a place to work, to live and to study can continue. The benefits of Reading’s economic success also need to be shared out more equally with those communities in Reading that suffer high levels of deprivation and exclusion. The plan also looks again at the message that Reading’s environment sends to visitors and residents, both in terms of revitalising tired and run-down sites and areas, and in placing greater focus on our considerable, but often overlooked, historic legacy.
