OPDC launches new consultation on Old Oak Plan modifications

 

From Old Oak & Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC)

Following the Public Examination with the Planning Inspector last year, we have made some proposed changes – or in planning terms, ‘modifications’ - to our draft Local Plan. Although most of it is largely the same, we are no longer bringing forward our plans for housing in Old Oak North and have identified other sites where we can bring forward new affordable homes, jobs, public space and facilities.

A report to OPDC’s Board in October 2020 provides an overview of these proposed modifications. The Board report and appendices can be viewed at the following links

2. Appendix 1 Work Programme
3. Appendix 2 Proposed draft Local Plan Modifications 

 

We are currently in the process of engaging with landowners and community  stakeholders on the proposed modifications, drafting policy changes and compiling evidence. We plan to submit these proposed changes to the Planning Inspector in February 2021, and we’ll be holding a formal public consultation in the spring. Before that, we would like to invite you to one of two public online engagement sessions to be held on:

• Tuesday 24 November 18:30 -19:30
• Monday 30 November 12:30- 13:30 (this session will be recorded)

During the sessions we will present the proposed changes and next steps. This will be followed by a Q&A discussion where you can ask questions. 

If you would like to attend either session, please contact the planning team on planningpolicy@opdc.london.gov.uk or 020 7983 5732. Alternatively, you can sign up here.
