The Bromley Local Plan is currently under review and is a key document for planning policy in Bromley. The adopted Local Plan 2019 covers a range of areas, including housing and employment, while identifying sites to help deliver the borough’s economic, environmental and social objectives.
A Local Plan Review takes place in several stages, with the current consultation seeking local views on the proposed vision and objectives for the new Local Plan and the preferred policy direction for a range of topics. Residents, local groups and other respondents are strongly encouraged to read the Direction of Travel document ahead of responding to the current consultation. Find out how to have your say.
This is the council’s second Regulation 18 consultation and follows the Call for Sites in 2021 and the lssues and Options consultation in 2023.
Local Plans should be reviewed every five years in accordance with planning legislation. Since the Local Plan was adopted, there have been changes to national and regional policy including changes to the National Planning Policy Framework, the adoption of the new London Plan and updated social, environmental and economic priorities published in the Bromley Corporate Strategy.
The Local Plan review is informed by a detailed evidence base.
