Consultation on the Main Modifications to the Local Plan
The new Camden Local Plan was submitted for public examination by an independent Inspector in October 2025. Following public hearings held in May and June 2026, the Inspector has identified a series of ‘Main Modifications’ required to ensure the Plan is ‘sound’ in accordance with the tests in the National Planning Policy Framework.
The Council has published the Main Modifications for consultation. Minor Modifications to the Plan, a Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment of the Main Modifications and an updated Local Plan Policies Map are also published for comment. The Minor Modifications consist of factual updates, points of clarification and other minor changes which do not materially affect the policies set out in the Plan.
Comments on these documents can be submitted by emailing: [email protected]
The consultation closes on Monday 23 November 2026.

Next steps
As the Main Modifications have been requested by the Inspector to make the Plan sound, comments submitted on the proposed Main Modifications to the Plan will be passed to the Inspector for their consideration.
The Minor Modifications to the Plan, Sustainability Appraisal of the Main Modifications and updated Local Plan Policies Map have not been requested by the Inspector and comments on these documents will therefore be considered by the Council and not sent to the Inspector.
Once the Inspector has considered the comments on the Main Modifications they will then issue their final report. The Inspector’s final report will be published on the Examination pages of our website.
Subject to the Inspector’s final report confirming the Plan is sound, the Council will then formally adopt the new Camden Local Plan. At that point the new Local Plan will fully supersede the current Local Plan 2017 and part of the Site Allocations Plan 2013 as the basis of planning decisions in the borough.
