Core Strategy

break

Newham has prepared a Core Strategy - a new spatial plan for the borough. It will form the overarching development plan in the Local Development Framework and will set out the long-term spatial vision and spatial policies for the borough. It will be key to delivering the Council's Sustainable Community Strategy and implement parts of the London Plan, such as housing and employment targets.

Inspector's report received - Core Strategy found 'sound'


The Core Strategy has been examined and the conclusion of the Inspector's binding report is that the Core Strategy is sound, subject to minor changes. Council received notification of the Inspector's decision on 16 January 2012. The Inspector's report (and accompanying appendices) and further information is available on the Core Strategy examination page. The final Core Strategy was taken to both Cabinet and Council meetings for adoption on 26 January 2012.

The adopted Core Strategy can be viewed below. Please note that this in an interim version and an updated version incorporating a Proposals Map will be made available in due course.


Core Strategy examination and minor changes


Newham's Core Strategy was submitted to the Secretary of State (via the planning Inspectorate) on 31 March 2011. The Core Strategy Submission document has been subject to Examination in Public, with public hearings before a Government appointment Inspector taking place between September 13 and September 29. Details of the examination are available on the Core Strategy examination page.


The Core Strategy has been subject to post-submission minor amendments since it was submitted to the Secretary of State. These amendments have been made in response to representations and, in addition, include officer led minor changes. A schedule of post submission minor amendments has been prepared following the examination. In addition, the Core Strategy Submission Draft has been updated to include the minor amendments, as set out in the schedule.

The Schedule of Post Submission Minor Amendments to the Core Strategy Submission Draft and the Core Strategy Submission Draft Incorporating Post Submission Minor Amendments can be viewed on the Core Strategy examination page. Comments on the minor changes were invited until 16 November 5.30pm (this consultation has now closed).
