Westminster City Plan 2019-2040

16 Sep 2020

LAST UPDATED: 16 SEPTEMBER 2020

City Plan 2019-2040 sets out an ambitious strategy to make Westminster one of the best places to live, work and play.

It has been informed by several rounds of public consultation and ongoing engagement with the council’s key partners and stakeholders.

Once the City Plan 2019-2040 has been adopted, it will be the Local Plan for Westminster and will replace all current policies in Westminster’s City Plan (November 2016) and saved policies in the Unitary Development Plan (2007).

Dates for the Westminster City Plan 2019-2040 Examination in Public took place digitally between 28 September-2 October and 12 October-16 October. Recordings from hearings are available online here (under ‘Hearings’).

This web page will be updated as and when updates on the City Plan become available. See below for the latest draft, consultation responses and other documents linked to the inquiry process.

Westminster City Council also has a comprehensive online store of all its submissions and correspondence here.
