Public houses and other uses
which make life local and a draft policy regarding character and
use - Submission page
A partial review of the Core Strategy for the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea with a Focus on North Kensington Development
Plan Document is now underway.
Submission stage has now been reached with
regard to two draft planning policies. One relates to resisting the
loss of public houses and other uses which make life local. The
other draft policy relates to character and use.
On Thursday 31 January 2013 the Council
submitted two draft policies to be included in the Core Strategy to
the Secretary of State for examination. These policies relate to
resisting the loss of public houses and other facilities which make
life local, and one relating to character and use.
The draft policies are the final version of
draft policies which were consulted on last year. The last
consultation event was in September/ October 2012 when consultees
were asked to comment on the ‘soundness’ of the policies.
Please note that this submission does
not constitute a further period of public consultation. The
Inspector will be considering the comments which have already been
made on the ‘soundness’ of the policies. We are not inviting any
further comments at this stage and the Inspector will not be able
to consider any further comments which are
received.
From Friday 1 February 2013, the following
documents will be available to view on the Public Houses and
related uses web page of the Council’s website; at all Council
libraries and in the public reception area of the Town Hall. These
documents can also be downloaded below.

justification, (incorporating recommending changes from the
regulation 20 consultation);

report;

was consulted as part of the policy development process;

In addition the evidence base behind the draft
