Public Consultation Launches To Help Future Development Of Wandsworth
A public consultation has launched on the second draft to help shape the future development of Wandsworth.
The Local Plan sets out a vision and strategy to guide the development of the borough between 2023 and 2038.
It will range from broad strategies for whole areas to guidance for specific sites. Collectively, these identify where development should be targeted and set out how neighbourhoods and places will change over the next 15 years, protecting the borough's unique character and ensuring that everyone is able to benefit from sustainable growth.
The Local Plan will ensure the borough meets its house building targets, has enough open space and has policies in place to help people remain healthy, support town centres, meet the needs of local businesses and creates jobs for local people. Reducing air pollution and helping the borough meet its target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 will also be a key aim.
The public has already been consulted on an earlier draft of the plan, and this latest version has taken account of the responses received.
In accordance with national guidance, responses to this latest consultation should focus on the draft Local Plan's legal and procedural compliance and the ‘soundness’ of the plan.
