Unitary Development Plan

Unitary Development Plan Documents

In conjunction with our strategies for housing, regeneration, transport and education, the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) sets the agenda for transforming and regenerating Newham. The UDP provides the land use planning framework for guiding physical change and improvement in the borough.
The UDP will eventually be replaced by the emerging Local Development Framework (LDF) but it will continue to inform planning decision making in the borough until the LDF is adopted.

In September 2007 some policies and proposals were deleted and now no longer form part of the June 2001 UDP.
Deleted Policies and Proposals.

However most policies and proposals from the June 2001 UDP were saved.
Saved Policies and Proposals.

The UDP sets out to encourage high quality housing, employment, leisure and community facilities within the main regeneration areas while ensuring that the more established parts of the borough benefit both from their own improvements and by being linked to the main development opportunities.
