About the Bermondsey Neighbourhood Plan

Welcome to the Bermondsey Neighbourhood Plan Wiki
This is the draft Bermondsey Neighbourhood Plan, as produced by the Bermondsey Neighbourhood Forum.

What is this all about
The Bermondsey Neighbourhood Plan is a set of principles and rules that will be used to judge planning applications in the Bermondsey Neighbourhood Forum area.

These set of rules and principles have - by law - to work alongside:


 * The Governments law on planning and development - and national policies for development


 * The Greater London Authority's 'London Plan'


 * Southwark Council's 'Southwark Plan'

Each and every planning application is decided on its own merit by Southwark Council, usual by a planning committee made up of councillors. In making these decisions, they have to take into account all of these plans and policies.

Development of the Bermondsey Neighbourhood Plan
The Bermondsey Neighbourhood Plan is being put together by a group of local people (The Bermondsey Neighbourhood Forum) who want to make sure that this plan meets the needs and wishes of local people.

The Bermondsey Neighbourhood Forum is carrying out a series of events and activities to try and get as many people's views as possible into the process. This includes holding events, running surveys and giving people the chance to edit this document to be a final plan. (This document was initially based upon Southwark Councils Supplementary Planning Document for the Borough Bankside and London Bridge area.
