Bromley: a living town - developing a plan for the next 15 years
Bromley Town Centre Area Action Plan
This is an exciting time for Bromley- a time of opportunity and change.
The Bromley Town Centre Area Action Plan (AAP) will guide the way future planning applications are judged over the next 15 years. We believe it will help to create a more attractive and successful town by ensuring a balance of commercial, residential, leisure and community facilities, reinforcing its status as one of London’s main centres.
However, this Plan is not just about buildings, it is about people. Our aim is to bring the greatest possible benefits to the community, improving the quality of life, employment opportunities and access to facilities for our residents and businesses.
Current Stage - Examination
On 11 November 2009, the Council submitted the AAP to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government for an Independent Examination. The Secretary of State has appointed an inspector to examine the AAP to ensure it is legally compliant and sound, i.e. to check that it is effective, justified and consistent with national policies and the Mayor of London's development strategy (the London Plan).

The inception of the Bromley Town Centre Area Action Plan - 2005
Following the results of the 2004 Retail Capacity Study, concerns were raised that given competition from neighbouring town centres an action plan should be put in place to safeguard the future economic growth of Bromley Town Centre. The plan was then launched with a series of workshops involving the public and key stakeholders.
