A Community Planning Weekend was held on
12 and 13 October 2007

Over 150 people from the local area took part in workshops
took guided walks around the site and formed,
"hands-on planning" groups focusing on a wide range of issues.

The key themes discussed were:

~ Understanding the implications of development on Englefield Green;
~ The proposed uses and importance of providing student accommodation;
~ Providing access for pedestrians wanting to enjoy the existing parkland and woodland;
~ Future management and maintenance of the state;

~ Respect the heritage and history of the site;
~ The location and character of the new development;
~ Concern about the impact of traffic;
~ The consultation process;
