Yes, you can attend the hearing in person. West Berkshire Council typically allows attendance for the public at meetings, including planning inquiries and hearings, though there might be cases where hearings are held virtually or with restrictions based on confidentiality. It's good to check ahead if the meeting will be public or if any specific arrangements are in place.
If you're planning to attend, make sure to confirm whether a registration or prior notification is required. For more details on upcoming hearings, you can check the council's page on planning inquiries and informal hearings.
