The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has started to consult the public on the first draft version of its new Local Plan.
Tower Hamlet’s current Local Plan was only adopted in January 2020, however the Council now considers the vision and certain policies within it to be out of date.
The new Local Plan will set out the vision for the Borough up to 2038. This Plan is particularly significant as it is the first to be prepared by the Aspire political party, who was elected into power to lead the Council in May 2022.
The current consultation period gives people the chance to review and comment on the draft policies before the Local Plan is formalised in 2024/25. The formal consultation period commenced on 6 November 2023 and ends on 18 December.
At DLBP, we are reviewing this first draft to consider how it may influence current proposals, as well as to identify the opportunities it may present for future proposals in the Borough.
