Local development framework
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) includes provisions for the introduction of a local development framework (LDF) for Ealing. At present, the emerging LDF includes:
Plan for the environment
Ealing’s unitary development plan (UDP), including the
proposals map, adopted in October 2004.
Supplementary planning guidance/documents
A range of documents which supplement the Plan for the
Environment. They include guidance adopted in October 2004, some
draft guidance, and supplementary planning documents adopted in
March 2006. You are invited to comment online on
two new draft supplementary planning
documents - SPD9 Legal Agreements, Planning Obligations
and Planning Gain and SPD10 Conservation Areas and Listed
Buildings, and the accompanying draft
Sustainability Appraisal of the documents,
between 7 September and 19 October 2007.
Local development scheme (pdf)
Ealing’s first local development scheme (LDS) was produced
in March 2005 as the official work programme for Ealing’s local
development framework. The documents in this scheme will eventually
supersede the UDP. The LDS has been subject to a number of reviews
since the first version was published. The
updated schedule of projects (August 2007)
(pdf), sets out our most up-to-date programme for this work.
Note that this may still be subject to change, following liaision
with the Government Office for London. A timetable showing
when we will be consulting on these documents, and how you can
comment online is available on our
online local development framework consultation
page. You will need to
register first to use this facility.
Statement of community involvement
This is a statutory document on how members of the public
and interested organisations can be involved in decisions on
planning policy and planning applications. It was adopted in June
2006.
Issues and options for spatial planning
The first stage in producing development plan
documents (core strategy, sites allocations document and
proposals map) took place in March 2006. You can comment online on
new issues and options between 7 September and
19 October 2007.
West London Waste
Development Plan
Ealing alongside five other west London boroughs (Brent,
Harrow, Hounslow, Hillingdon and Richmond upon Thames) have joined
together to prepare the West London Waste DPD, known as the West
London Waste Plan. This will be part of each borough’s Local
Development Framework and aims to identify possible sites for
managing the area's waste until 2025. It will give priority to
waste reduction, recycling and composting.
To find out more about the West London Waste Plan, visit the WLWP website at www.wlwp.net
Issues and options consultation is about to start and will run from 29 October 2008 to 30 January 2009. This is the first stage of a programme of consultation to develop the West London Waste Plan (WLWP). For information about the dates and locations of these events please go to website www.wlwp.net
