New London Plan – Update

Following a review of consultation responses, the Mayor has published (13 August) a version of the draft London Plan that includes his minor suggested changes. The changes include clarifications, corrections and factual updates and are therefore not subject to consultation.

Provisional dates for key stages of the Examination in Public (EiP) have also been published (14 August) with the EiP hearing sessions set to take place between Mid January – May 2019 and the Panel Report scheduled for publication in Summer 2019.

The EiP will be conducted in the context of policies in the 2012 version of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) rather than the revised version published in July 2018, as indicated in the transitional arrangements.
