Decision:

The Executive Member for Strategic Planning and Highways agrees that Wokingham Borough Council:

 

1)    Support the intention of the Greater London Authority to meet its own housing need within the area of London itself with some unmet need met by ‘willing partners’ outside of London, while making it clear Wokingham Borough Council does not intend to be a ‘willing partner’;

 

2)    Seek clarification regarding the Green Belt evidence underpinning the conclusion not to release, or revise any Green Belt land;

 

3)    Support the 13 identified transport priorities, and specifically encourage the rapid progression of the western and southern rail access to Heathrow airport.
