Isle of Dogs Planning Forum pens Neighbourhood Plan

3rd November 2017

The Isle of Dogs Planning Forum has submitted a Neighbourhood Plan to Tower Hamlets Council, for a public referendum next summer that could make it a legal requirement for new residential developments to guarantee improvements to utilities such as gas, electricity and water mains, sewers and services like schools, medical and transport.. The riverside area around Canary Wharf, stretching out into the Royal Docks, Canada Water and the Greenwich Peninsula, is fast becoming one of Europe’s most densely-packed urban population areas. The Forum has stressed it is not against developments, but wants to ensure that infrastructure is developed to keep up with the population increases, anticipated to hit 100,000 by 2027.
