Englefield Green Village Neighbourhood Plan update

Englefield Green Village Neighbourhood Plan was adopted on 31 January 2024.

It now forms part of the statutory development plan for Runnymede. The plan will be used alongside the Runnymede Local Plan 2030, Policy NRM6 of the South East Plan, Surrey County Minerals and Waste Plans to determine planning applications in the neighbourhood area.
