Residents are invited to help finalise a planning document, designed to make sure sustainability and tackling climate change are fully considered in the Royal Borough’s future growth and development.
The local authority is holding a six-week consultation, until midnight on Monday 27 November, on the draft of its Sustainability Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
The SPD aims to shape new development in the direction of net zero carbon, protect and enhance the natural environment, drive carbon reductions in the borough and deliver wider climate change mitigations and adaptations. Part of the council’s Environment and Climate Strategy, it will guide developers in preparing their planning applications and will be considered in planning decisions and appeals.
How can you get involved?
You can visit the website to view the draft SPD document and leave your comments by completing the online feedback form. To get involved in the consultation, you are invited to attend one of the below sessions:
- Thursday 2 November, 2pm to 6.30pm – Maidenhead Library drop-in event
- Wednesday 8 November, 6pm to 7.30pm – Online webinar via Microsoft Teams. The link for joining will be added to our website

If you don’t have online access, residents can use the public-access computers at all local libraries. If you require paper copies of the response form, these are also at all libraries upon request. Paper copies of all the consultation documents will be in Maidenhead, Windsor and Ascot libraries for the duration of the consultation.
