Future Shoreditch area action plan
Draft area action plan
We’re preparing an area action plan for Shoreditch, called Future Shoreditch. The plan sets out a vision for what Shoreditch will look like in 2040 and the planning policies to guide and manage future development and investment in the area. Once adopted, it will be an important document when making planning decisions in Shoreditch.
The plan aims to shape growth in the area and spread the benefits of development to deliver well-designed and inclusive public spaces, more genuinely affordable homes and workspaces, improved streets and air quality, new high quality developments that respect the rich heritage and character of Shoreditch, and more work and training opportunities for local people.
What’s happening next
On 26 November 2025, full council approved the Future Shoreditch area action plan for consultation.
View the decision on Modern Gov.
We’ll begin the final consultation on the Future Shoreditch plan in January 2025. You’ll be able to view the Future Shoreditch plan and related documents on this webpage and on the consultation platform.
We’ll host both in-person and online consultation events to get your feedback.
If you’d like more information, you can sign up for updates by emailing futureshoreditch@hackney.gov.uk or calling 020 8356 8062.
