Twyford Parish Council and volunteers from the village are creating a Neighbourhood Plan to put in place planning policy to guide future development. A Neighbourhood Plan is a legal document and, once approved, Wokingham Borough Council must take it into consideration when planning future development in Twyford.

Twyford’s Neighbourhood Plan Examination
Following the six week (Regulation 16) consultation period, Andrew Ashcroft was appointed to undertake the examination of the Twyford Neighbourhood Plan. Mr Ashcroft will consider whether the Plan meets a set of prescribed ‘basic conditions’ and other legal requirements.
