The Council is embarking on a programme of regeneration and renewal in accordance with the aims of the Futures Plan, in order that we may continue to offer a range of affordable housing, and create vibrant, mixed use neighbourhoods which provide good places to live and opportunities to work. The Futures Plan is a key stage in the process of identifying options for future development but is not a formal planning document.

The Council is committed to setting out a clear planning framework for the development of Westminster. In order to engage the local community in the planning process, and ultimately assist potential developers in drawing up development proposals, the council produces draft planning briefs for particular sites, which once adopted become material planning considerations when determining planning applications for that site.

These four draft planning briefs have been prepared in response to the identification of four redevelopment sites in the first phase of the regeneration framework for the Church Street and Paddington Green area, in order to explore planning opportunities and constraints. They have been prepared as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD's), applying development plan policies to the sites.

The Draft Planning Briefs will be subject to a six week public consultation, in order that the views of residents, organisations and interested parties may inform a final draft. The comments received will be reported back to the Planning Sub-Committee (Planning Briefs and LDF) alongside the revised planning briefs for consideration, before being referred back to the Cabinet Member for Built Environment for adoption. This enables all those who would be affected by a development to ensure their comments are taken into account as the brief is finalised and then adopted.
