Amendments to Camden Planning Guidance - Design, Housing, Sustainability, and Basements (CENV/2014/42)

Overview

Consultation: Camden Planning Guidance

Have you say on proposed changes

Camden Planning Guidance is a set of documents that provides further detail to support the implementation of the Council’s planning policies.

The Council is consulting on amendments to its planning guidance. The main proposed changes are to:

CPG1 Design – updates to the waste and recycling standards, and changes related ensuring disabled access is maintained when reusing materials,

CPG2 Housing – updates related to the affordable rented housing type, viability assessments, deferred affordable housing contributions, and a number of other minor amendments,

CPG3 Sustainability – replacement of EcoHomes with BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment and other minor changes, and

CPG4 Basements and Lightwells – updates throughout the guidance to strengthen the approach

Please note: that these changes apply to the guidance that adds detailed information on implementing our current planning policy documents: the Local Development Framework Core Strategy and Development Policies. In addition, we are also currently consulting a new suite of planning policies, the Draft Camden Local Plan. Furthermore following adoption of the Local Plan we will consult on a revised set of Camden Planning Guidance documents. For further details on this please visit: camden.gov.uk/localplan
