The Englefield Green Village Neighbourhood Plan:
We are pleased to report that the Neighbourhood Plan was approved by over 85% of voters at the Referendum held on 13th December 2023. Runnymede Borough Council ratified the Plan in January 2024 and it now has to be taken into account in the Planning Process.
The Neighbourhood Plan is an important road map for the future development of Englefield Green and surrounding area, and is based on what you as residents have said you want over the past 4 years during its preparation. It strengthens existing Planning rules, provides detailed design codes for new buildings, protects green spaces and heritage and allows us to use a minimum of 25% of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) on improving the infrastructure in our village .
Importantly, it also includes ancillary documents that suggest a serries of projects designed to improve the infrastructure and ambiance of the village .
Now that the Plan is made, the Forum Steering Committee will continue to monitor, oppose or support planning applications and advise members, and promote physical improvements in the private and public domain, and in the ecology of our Area, for the benefit of our residents.

The Forum is grateful to Englefield Green Village Residents Association and to the Members Community Allocation of Surrey County Councillor sponsored by County Councillor Marisa Heath for providing funding to the Forum to help it manage the Neighbourhood Plan. The Steering Committee would like to emphasise that these funds have been provided with no obligations to either organisation other than to use the funds to progress matters in respect of the Neighbourhood Plan.
