The Council has begun preparing a new Local Plan to replace the existing Plan adopted in 2017.  The new Plan will ensure that the Council continues to have a robust and fit-for-purpose framework for the future planning of our borough and will be used to determine planning applications once adopted. The new Plan will take into account changes to national planning policy, the new London Plan, the new Borough Plan priorities and will aid the borough’s recovery from COVID 19.  The Plan will also meet legal and policy requirements for the Council to have an up to date plan and 5 year Housing Land Supply.  Cabinet are being asked to approve a  “New Local Plan: First Step engagement” document for consultation. The document will set out the key issues and challenges for the future planning of the borough and related opportunities and options. It will be the first stage of  consultation and engagement on the New Local Plan and will seek the community’s views on how we should address key issues,
