Your Voice – Cookham Village Design Statement – VDS
The Cookham Parish Council Cookham Village Design Statement (VDS)
Cookham Village Design Statement (VDS) describes the character and setting of Cookham’s three settlements. It provides local guidance to assist those seeking to make changes to their property or land to understand if the proposed change would be sympathetic to the area’s character.
The VDS was prepared by a working group of residents with the sponsorship of Cookham Parish Council and the Cookham Society. The Borough Council provided technical assistance and advice.
The Borough Council resolved to adopt the VDS as a supplementary planning document on 23 May 2013.
The Cookham VDS, and supporting documents, are available to download from the RBWM website, or visit the Parish Council Office or Cookham Library to read a paper version.
The Cookham VDS, and supporting documents, are available there:
Cookham VDS (Part 1) – Chapters 1 to 7
Cookham VDS (part 2) – Chapters 8 to end

Cookham Parish Council’s Strategic Plan for 2023 – 2027
This Strategic Plan sets the Parish Council’s vision for the Parish, its purpose, values, objectives and key priorities until May 2027. The aim of the Plan is to give a clear understanding of what the Parish Council is trying to achieve, either directly or indirectly by working with other bodies such as the RBWM.
