Future Shoreditch 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.

 

Draft area action plan

The draft 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.

Next steps

We last consulted on the plan in 2019. We have analysed all feedback received then on the draft Plan, and reflected on the changes and impacts that Shoreditch has experienced more recently. This information has fed into a proposed direction of travel for the plan. We will be going out to consultation on the proposed direction of travel for the plan from 13 May to 28 June 2024.

Your comments and the further evidence we gather will help shape the final draft plan (Proposed Submission Version). We will consult on the final draft plan early next year.
