The new Local Plan documents can be found on the Adopted Documents for the Local Development Plan page.
The Havering Local Plan (2016-31) and supporting documents were submitted to the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government for independent examination on 27 March 2018.
The Inspector has now concluded the examination of the local plan and has sent through her report stating the Havering Local Plan is considered sound.
Some of the examination documents have become the evidence base for the plan and can be found on the Adopted Documents for the Local Development Plan page. The remaining examination documents are being removed from this website and archived so the list below will have gaps.
