The Examiner’s recommendations are not binding. It is the responsibility of West Berkshire Council (WBC) to decide whether the Examiner’s recommendations should be followed. WBC officers will now consider each of the recommendations in the Examiner’s Report and prepare a Decision Statement. Once prepared, the Decision Statement will need to be endorsed at a meeting of Full Council.
Lambourn Parish Council will also formally consider whether it accepts the Examiner’s recommendations.
