The Heritage and Environment Committee meets on the 1st Tuesday of each month to consider:
- Planning applications made in the preceding month
- Preservation and heritage issues affecting Windsor and Eton
- The Neighbourhood Plan
- Other matters connected with, or ancillary to, the Heritage Agenda
Members of the public are welcome to contact us on any of the above issues. Also, developers have found it useful to contact us before submitting a planning application, to gather comments on their proposals. We would encourage this.
