City of Westminster

Planning Policy

Westminster’s planning policy framework is currently moving from a Unitary Development Plan based system to a Local Development Framework.

The current statutory ‘development plan’ for Westminster is the ‘saved’ Unitary Development Plan and the Mayor of London’s London Plan.  Planning applications must be determined in accordance with the development plan for Westminster, unless material considerations suggest otherwise.

For the last three years, Westminster City Council has also been developing its new Local Development Framework (LDF).  This will eventually replace the UDP.
