The purpose of the Cookham Neighbourhood Plan is to help improve the quality of life and environment for the community as a whole. The Neighbourhood Plan will be set in the context of the new Local Plan prepared by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
The emerging Borough Local Plan sets housing targets for new development in Cookham, and has specifically allocated land for this in Cookham Rise. The Cookham Neighbourhood Plan can seek to influence the form and quality of the new development, so that this reflects local character and qualities.
Importantly, because the Cookham Neighbourhood Plan will be produced with extensive input from the local community, it will reflect local issues, concerns and aspirations. It will have very real potential to influence change for the better – more so than any other documents prepared before.
