Hillingdon Council has launched a consultation on the borough’s new Local Plan, giving residents the opportunity to share their views.
The plan will set out policies and proposals for the use of local land, including where new homes, businesses and infrastructure should be located, how they should be designed and built, how heritage assets and the natural environment will be protected, and the approach to tackling climate change.
Councillor Eddie Lavery, the council’s cabinet member for residents’ services, said: “We are committed to putting our residents first and creating safe and strong communities.
“The Local Plan will ensure the community and the council have a greater say over how the borough tackles challenges such as creating more homes, preserving heritage assets, protecting the environment, and growing the economy.
“It’s the first stage of consultation, and we are asking you what the Local Plan should contain. This is your opportunity to make your voice heard and ensure the borough gets the right development in the right place.
“I encourage every resident and business to consider and share how they would like the borough to develop for years to come.”
The council is hosting two information sessions to introduce the purpose of the consultation. One is an online session from 2pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday, May 22, via Microsoft Teams. To sign up, email localplan@hillingdon.gov.uk
The second session is an in-person drop-in at the Civic Centre in Uxbridge from 6pm to 8pm on Thursday, May 23.
The consultation will run until Monday, June 17. Residents will be able to share their views online.
