Residents are being asked to ‘make a difference’ and vote in a referendum for a Maidenhead Neighbourhood Plan, which will influence planning decisions in the town through to 2039. The Maidenhead Neighbourhood Forum started working on the plan back in 2023, with the next stage – a local referendum – set to take place on Thursday, March 19. The plan would cover the seven unparished areas in Maidenhead: Boyn Hill, Oldfield, Pinkneys Green, Riverside, St Mary’s, Belmont and Furze Platt. It includes policies on local green spaces, housing mix, biodiversity, design, built heritage, climate and travel to guide future developments. Mr Ingram said the neighbourhood plan also names important green spaces across Maidenhead and explains why these should be protected.
