Local Plan scoping consultation

Hillingdon is creating a new Local Plan. The Local Plan will set out the vision for future development in the borough over the next 15 years and will set out planning policies to help achieve this. The Local Plan will set policies to help build new homes, create jobs and provide services to support a growing population. It will also help shape the look and feel of Hillingdon's places, enhancing the environment, with the option to include policies on matters such as tackling climate change and creating sustainable neighbourhoods.  

We are inviting engagement from stakeholders through this scoping consultation. The consultation has two objectives: 

  1. To reach out to residents and stakeholders to provide your views on key issues for the Local Plan and what it should contain.

  1. To ask how Hillingdon should engage with stakeholders during Local Plan preparation.
