The Council adopted the Gospel Oak and Haverstock Community Vision as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on 4 November 2022.

The SPD builds on existing policies and priorities in the adopted Camden Local Plan and other plans and strategies. The guidance sets out some key development principles and planning objectives to help shape, influence and guide future development proposals in the area so that they are acceptable and can deliver positive benefits and improvements to make the area even better for the local community.

What happens next?

A summary version of the SPD and a delivery strategy will be prepared during 2023. 

The Supplementary Planning Document will be used as a material consideration in decision making on planning applications.  

There will be separate consultations on individual proposals for sites and other projects in the area, including further planning policy guidance for major sites in a future new Draft Site Allocations Plan.
