These are a group of documents setting out our planning strategy and policies and are called a Local Development Framework (LDF). Our Local Development Framework replaces the Camden Unitary Development Plan (UDP) which was adopted in June 2006 and this document sets out our planning approach for specific sites and will affect how we make decisions on planning applications. What are Site Allocations? The Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) will set out the Council’s proposals for land and buildings on significant sites which are likely to be subject to development proposals during the lifetime of the LDF (2010-2025). These allocations are intended to assist in delivering the priorities and objectives of the Council’s Core Strategy and the London Plan. Allocations will generally set out a preferred use or mix of uses for a specific site. They may also set out further detail of policy context and criteria and guidance for development of sites and to set out other objectives to meet local needs and wider area requirements. These allocations will need to be consistent with the Council’s Core Strategy and Development Policies and the sites and buildings. The Proposed Submission Document This is the fourth version in the preparation of our Site Allocations DPD. This document follows on from our Issues and Options and Preferred Approach consultations in 2008 and 2009 and Additional Sites consultations in 2010. This document is the proposed Submission Version of the Site Allocations DPD for final representations. This document has been prepared in the context and consideration of: • Emerging Government Legislation and Policy • Alterations to the London Plan • The adopted Core Strategy and Development Policies • Responses from earlier stages of consultation • Development of the Sustainability Appraisal • Engagement with developers and landowners • Planning decisions • Other evidence we have collected and commissioned • Placeshaping and infrastructure plans • Camden’s Community Strategy and other plans and strategies What does this document cover? The proposed submission document: • Sets out the policy context and where this document sits in relation to other LDF documents • Explains the process for producing this DPD and how to respond • Highlights the Core Strategy context which underpins the broad approach • Identifies key Growth Areas and the Council’s objectives for these • Identifies a number of significant sites and sets out an approach for each of them - 4 - Relationships to other documents and strategies Camden’s Local Development Framework This contains a number of other documents that will complement and contribute to the Site Allocations DPD. These are: • Core Strategy - this DPD sets out the key elements of the Council’s planning vision and spatial strategy for the borough. All of our other planning documents must be consistent with it. The Core Strategy was adopted in November 2010. • Proposals Map - allocated sites will be included in this part of the LDF which will provide a graphic representation of the Councils spatial policies • Development Policies - this DPD supports the Core Strategy by setting out additional planning policies the Council will use when making decisions on applications for planning permission. Development Policies were adopted in November 2010. • Area Action Plans – these provide more detailed planning guidance for areas that are subject to more significant development pressures or change and can set out more specific objectives for those areas. An Area Action Plan is being prepared for the Fitzrovia area. • North London Waste Plan - this DPD will set out polices relating to waste and identify sites for major recycling and other waste handling facilities in North London. It has been prepared jointly by Camden and the six other boroughs in the North London Waste Authority area. This was submitted in February 2012. • Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) - these will provide additional detailed guidance on how the Council’s planning strategy and policies will be implemented for specific topics, areas or sites. In some cases more detailed explanation is needed to guide the development of sites and these might be in the form of planning briefs. London Plan The Mayor of London’s revised London Plan 2011 provides the London-wide context for borough planning policies and the documents in our Local Development Framework must be in general conformity. The London Plan provides a social, economic and environmental framework for the future development of the capital. Alongside the documents in the Local Development Framework, the London Plan forms part of the statutory development plan for Camden; the starting point for decisions on planning applications in the borough. The London Plan has significant implications for this document as it establishes the principles on which the Core Strategy and Development Policies have been based, which in turn affect what this Sites Allocations DPD includes.
