Core Strategy

Newham has prepared a Core Strategy - a new spatial plan for the borough. It forms the overarching development plan and sets out the long-term spatial vision and spatial policies for the borough. It is key to delivering the Council's Sustainable Community Strategy and implement parts of the London Plan, such as housing and employment targets.

Adopted Core Strategy

The Core Strategy was taken to both Cabinet and Council meetings for adoption on 26 January 2012. The adopted Core Strategy, along with an adoption statement and Sustainability Appraisal adoption statement, can be viewed below.
