Local Plan Timetable
The Local Plan Timetable gives expected dates for the important stages of preparing the new Bromley Borough Local Plan.
We’ll keep it under review and update it if changes are needed and to record the actual dates when stages are reached. We'll also update it when we publish the:
- Gateway 1 self-assessment
- observations or advice we receive from the Planning Inspectorate under Gateway 2
- observations or advice we receive from the Planning Inspectorate under Gateway 3
- the inspector’s recommendations and reasons at the end of the independent examination of the plan
This timetable was first published and took effect on 10 November 2026.
