What is the Local Plan

The Local Plan is a key planning document that sets out Brent’s development strategy.

It explains how the borough will grow and develop over the coming years, and includes policies and proposals covering:

  • housing
  • jobs
  • town centres
  • open spaces
  • infrastructure
  • community facilities

Publishing the notice and timetable is an important milestone and signals the start of a new phase in shaping the borough’s future.

Why this matters

The new Local Plan will help to:

  • deliver the homes and infrastructure needed for a growing population
  • support economic growth and local jobs
  • protect and enhance the borough’s character, environment and open spaces
  • ensure development is well planned, sustainable and benefits local communities.

Have your say

Residents, businesses and stakeholders will be able to help shape the Local Plan from an early stage.

An early engagement (scoping) consultation is expected later this year. This will ask for views on:

  • issues facing the Borough
  • what the Plan should include
  • how you would like to participate

We’ll share details on how to take part on this page in due course. You can also sign up for updates by emailing planningstrategy@brent.gov.uk
