The City of London prepares plans and policies that set out its
strategy for shaping the Square Mile. The plans guide the City in
deciding planning applications and drawing up proposals for
enhancing the environment and managing traffic.
Unitary Development Plan
The
Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is the current plan for the
City. It was adopted in 2002 and sets out the City’s policies for
planning and transportation.
Local Development Framework
The City is preparing a new plan called the
Local Development Framework (LDF). The LDF will eventually
supersede the UDP. It will contain a series of documents that
together set out the City’s planning strategy. Production of the
most important of these, the Core Strategy, is currently underway,
and there are opportunities to participate in its preparation.
Supplementary Planning Guidance
Some of the UDP’s policies are explained in more detail in
supplementary planning guidance and other advice.
