Local plans: policies and progress
Find the adopted documents for an area, the maps that go with them and the progress of replacement plans.
These profiles bring official sources together and separate adopted policies, emerging plans and supporting guidance. Each area has its own documents, dates and authority boundaries.

Bristol Local Plan
Bristol has two separate plan-making processes: the 2022 to 2040 plan is still being examined, while preparation of a successor to 2045 has begun. The adopted Core Strategy, allocations, central-area and waste documents remain the starting point.

Hounslow’s 2015 to 2030 Local Plan remains the adopted borough plan while the 2020 to 2041 replacement is examined. The latest examination update asks for post-hearing work by 18 September 2026; it is not an adoption notice.

Barnet Local Plan
Barnet’s 2021 to 2036 Local Plan was adopted on 4 March 2025, corroborated by the Planning Inspectorate’s register and Council minutes. Some council webpages blocked direct retrieval during this check, so the remaining source-access limits are stated explicitly.

Richmond upon Thames Local Plan
Richmond’s 2024 to 2039 Local Plan and policies map were adopted on 7 October 2025. The council still labels its linked plan an interim formatted version, but the plan is adopted; the separate waste-plan replacement remains in consultation.

Wandsworth Local Plan
Wandsworth’s adopted plan now consists of the 2023 to 2038 Local Plan and a partial review adopted on 4 March 2026. Six housing policies have been replaced; the remainder of the 2023 plan continues to apply.

Camden Local Plan
Camden’s 2017 Local Plan remains adopted while its replacement is in examination. The Inspector’s August 2026 letter requires further work before main-modifications consultation. Since 10 August, sites inside the Oxford Street Development Corporation boundary have a different planning authority.
Official sources checked .
Westminster Local Plan
Westminster’s current City Plan is the 2019 to 2040 plan as revised and adopted on 21 January 2026. Check the new Oxford Street Development Corporation boundary, and use the 2026 supplementary guidance rather than treating the partial review as still emerging.

Coverage and review
This directory has 10 published profiles. Coverage is limited to the areas listed above. For another area, find the council's planning service. We publish a profile when its status and source links have been checked, and state any remaining gaps.
Source checks are AI-assisted. These profiles help you find evidence; they do not determine which policy applies to a particular property or replace professional advice.
