Consultation took place in 2007 and the document set out options for key development sites in the borough. Consultation on this document has now ended.
Following advice from the Government Office for London in 2007, priority was given to the production of the Core Strategy (the principal LDF document) and the Site Allocations development plan document was deferred.
As work on the Core Strategy progressed to its final stage, work on the Site Allocations document has resumed. The document has now been separated into two - the Site Allocations DPD and the Development Policies DPD.
