IMP3 - IMPLEMENTING AND MONITORING THE LOCAL PLAN

Our approach

We will implement the Local Plan, working with strategic partners and the local community and committing to monitoring the progress made year by year. We will ensure that new development in the borough contributes towards the provision of infrastructure needed to support growth.

We will achieve this by

  • Delivering the infrastructure needed to support the growth set out in the development plan through maintaining and monitoring an up-to-date Infrastructure Delivery Plan and the appropriate governance framework;
  • Supporting the delivery of infrastructure through the use of Hounslow CIL receipts and planning obligations;
  • Preparing supplementary planning documents where required to support policies in the Local Plan and setting out what form this will take in the Local Development Scheme (LDS), or an alternative framework;
  • Addressing strategic matters by complying with our duty to cooperate when working with other local authorities and working collaboratively with other stakeholders and organisations;
  • Supporting the use of the tools set out in the Localism Act 2011, and any subsequent legislation, designed to enable the local community to influence planning and development, while encouraging these community groups to engage early and effectively with the council and the plans the council prepares;
  • Reviewing the Local Plan, the West London Waste Plan and the CIL Charging Schedule in whole or in part within five years and undertaking partial Plan reviews through the Great West Corridor Plan and a West of Borough Plan;
  • Establishing a monitoring framework for those policies which have a measurable outcome and publishing the outcomes of this in an annual monitoring report, reviewing policies where they are not achieving their aim; and
  • Ensuring that development does not proceed unless the delivery of critical and necessary infrastructure to support that development is assured.

We will expect development proposals to

  • Mitigate the impacts of the development on the area through a section 106 agreement, where necessary or appropriate, having regard to supplementary planning document; and
  • Provide the CIL payments required by any charging schedules which are in operation for the area within which the scheme is located, including the Mayor of London’s CIL.
