Reading Central Area Action Plan

The Reading Central Area Action Plan (RCAAP) sets out the planning framework for the central area up to 2026. It contains general policies for the central area, as well as identifying specific sites for development or protection. The document has 'development plan' status, which means that it is one of the main considerations in deciding planning applications within the central area.

The RCAAP was adopted at Council on 27 January 2009, and is available to view on this page. The Adoption Statement and Environmental Statement requried by regulations can also be viewed here.

Past consultation versions of the RCAAP and associated documents are also available on this page. Consultation on the first stage, Issues and Options, took place in March and April 2006, and Preferred Options were published in January 2007. The RCAAP was submitted to the Secretary of State in March 2008. Each version of the document was accompanied by a Sustainability Appraisal, and a report of each consultation stage is also available. It was then subject to examination, hearings for which took place in September 2008, and it was found to be 'sound' on 10 November 2008. For more detail on the Examination, see the 'Examination into the Reading Central Area Action Plan' page.
