BRENT LOCAL PLAN: SUBMISSION OF DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Brent Council has submitted the document titled the “Development Management Policies DPD”, under Regulation 22 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, to the Secretary of State for examination.
The draft Development Management Policies Plan sets out detailed policies which will be used to determine planning applications for development in the borough. The draft Plan underwent public consultation at Issues and Options Stage and Preferred Options Stage, before being published for comment in September 2015. On 18 January 2016 Full Council approved the submission of the draft Plan to an independent Planning Inspector to prepare for the Examination. Following Public Examination it is intended the Plan will form part of the Local Plan for Brent and supersede saved UDP policies when it is adopted.
