Charvil Neighbourhood Plan Referendum

Referendum: Thursday 7th May 2026

Make sure you’re registered to vote!

Residents of Charvil Parish will be able to vote on the Charvil Neighbourhood Plan on Thursday 7th May 2026.

Charvil Parish Council has prepared a Neighbourhood Plan with the help of the local community. This sets out planning policies to guide the development and use of land in the parish up to 2040.

Following independent examination, the Charvil Neighbourhood Plan has been found to meet the basic conditions, subject to a number of modifications, and can now proceed to referendum.

The question that will be asked in the referendum is:

“Do you want Wokingham Borough Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Charvil Parish to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

Find out more about the referendum process, how and where to vote, and what happens next, in the Charvil Neighbourhood Plan Information Statement.

What is a Neighbourhood Plan?

As part of the Government’s Localism agenda (Localism Act, 2011), local communities are encouraged to develop Neighbourhood Plans as part of the Government’s approach to planning, which aims to give local people more say about what goes on in their area. The development of a Neighbourhood Plan is not imposed from above but is an opportunity for communities to set out the way they see the future of their Neighbourhood Area.


The Charvil Neighbourhood Plan sets out a vision for the future of the village and its surrounding countryside, providing a strategy and land-use planning framework to guide development within the neighbourhood plan area for the next 15 years. The Plan has been developed through extensive consultation with the people of Charvil village and others with local interest. As well as informing optimum land allocation policies for the village the plan also highlights projects that can be pursued by the Parish Council to meet the aspiration of the community. These plans will be aligned with and supported by policies proposed in the plan.

The Neighbourhood Plan includes sections on:

  • Housing
  • Traffic & Transport
  • Green Spaces & Sustainability
  • Flooding
  • Heritage
  • Community
