Residential Extensions & Retrofit SPD
How to extend your home and upgrade it to address the climate emergency and save money on your bills
Industrial Intensification SPD
How to protect and support our industrial estates and deliver the new high-quality employment floorspace that the borough needs
Developer Contributions SPD
How we negotiate the investment that developers are expected to make in places and local communities to deliver the infrastructure that the borough needs
Leyton Mills SPD
How to coordinate development in the area around Leyton Mills over the next 15 years to create a new sustainable, safe, and healthy 15-minute neighbourhood
