Pre-Submission Site Allocations Development Plan Document

Overview

The purpose of the Site Allocations DPD is to identify significant sites in the borough and set out guidelines for their future development.

Camden Council has published the proposed submission version of its Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) as part of its Local Development Framework.  It is linked to the Core Strategy (adopted in November 2010) which sets out the planning vision and planning policy framework for Camden.

Various stages of consultation have happened in shaping this plan and we now want to hear your final views before we submit a final document to a Planning Inspector for independent examination later on in 2012.

A Sustainability Appraisal Report is also published along with the Site Allocations DPD.

The documents are available to view at the following locations:

• Camden Town Hall Extension, St Pancras Library, Argyle Street WC1H 8EQ.  (St Pancras Library opening times are: Mon 9am-7pm; Tue-Fri 9am-6pm; Sat 11am-5pm)
•  Other Camden libraries (contact details and opening times)
• Online here

   

Why your views matter

Our Site Allocations Document forms part of the Local Development Framework for Camden.  Its purpose is to identify land and buildings for future development.  It will replace LU1 - Schedule of Land Use Proposals of our Unitary Development Plan.
