The Brentford Area Action Plan (BAAP) was formally adopted by the council as part of the development plan on 27 January 2009. Together with the saved policies in the Unitary Development Plan (UDP), the Employment Development Plan Document and the London Plan 2008 it has formal development plan status and will be used in the determination of planning applications within the plan area.
The BAAP contains objectives and policies which seek to provide a spatial strategy for the continued regeneration of the Brentford area. This includes policies specific to the town centre, the Great West Road, Brentford’s river and canal network, as well as proposals for development sites.
There are also generic policies for the plan area on key local issues including sustainable development, urban design, delivering sustainable access and the provision of large-scale arts, cultural, entertainment and leisure facilities.
The plan was submitted to the Secretary of State on 20 July 2007 and subject to a six-week period of consultation until 30 August 2007. A further consultation took place on a number of site allocation representations in November/ December 2007.
A pre-examination meeting was held on 13 February 2008, following which an agenda was published for the examination of the BAAP. The examination hearings took place between 22 April and 2 May 2008. All information (including representations and our responses) is available from the examination web pages.
The inspector’s report on the examination was received on 31 October 2008. The inspector found the Brentford Area Action Plan to be sound, subject to a number of binding recommendations (the report is available to download from this page). The BAAP (as amended by the inspector’s recommendations) was adopted in January 2009.
A copy of the adopted BAAP including an extract of the proposals map covering the BAAP plan area, the council’s adoption and sustainability appraisal statements are available to download from this page.
Appendix 1 of the BAAP lists the UDP policies and proposals that have been deleted following its adoption.
The online proposals map and UDP are in the process of being updated following adoption of the BAAP. Please refer to the proposals map available to download from this page until it has been incorporated into the online proposals map.
