Planning Applications Under Consideration

For details of planning applications in Theale that are awaiting decision by planning officers, or the Eastern Area Planning Committee, please clck here.

Applications are normally decided by Council planning officers unless at least 10 objections are received, though I, as councillor for Theale ward, can ask the chairman of the planning committee for the decision to be made by the committee.
