The Newham Local Plan is the key planning document which the Council uses to assess planning applications and to manage where regeneration and development happens in Newham, what it is used for and what it looks like.
We are updating our Local Plan so we can plan for the next 15 years and respond to our key challenges of delivering inclusive growth, supporting the Covid-19 recovery and responding to our climate emergency.
The Local Plan includes policies on housing, employment, climate, open spaces, town centres, design, community facilities and transport. The Plan helps the Council make major decisions that affect you, such as:
- What type of homes does Newham need and where should we build them?
- Where should our high streets and shops be located and what should they look like?
- How should we protect our local heritage, community facilities and places of worship?
- How do we create places for businesses to grow to provide high quality local jobs?
- How do we improve air quality and green the borough?
Have your say here by 17 December!
