Adoption of Area Proposals

Lee Valley Regional Park Act 1966 Section 14 Proposals for The Waterlands Areas 3, 4 and 5 - Adoption by theLee Valley Regional Park Authority 

The Authority is in the process of preparing a suite of documents, the Park Development Framework (PDF), which will establish our aspirations and specific proposals for the future use and development of the Regional Park.  In July 2010, the Authority adopted the Vision, Strategic Aims and Principles followed by adoption of a series of Thematic Proposals in January 2011 which set out development and management proposals on a broad Park-wide thematic basis.

The Authority is now translating the thematic proposals onto area based maps in line with Section 14 of the Lee Valley Regional Park Act 1966 (the Park Act) to provide specific proposals covering the whole Park.  This is a phased process with priority being given to areas where significant change within or adjacent to the Park is planned.  Once it has been completed it is intended that these area proposals will completely replace the Part Two Proposals of the Park Plan 2000. For the local planning authorities in whose boundaries the Regional Park lies the importance of these proposals is that once adopted by the Authority section 14(2) of the Park Act requires their inclusion in their Local Plans/Local Development Frameworks. Their inclusion does not however imply approval of the local planning authority although clearly it is hoped that by reason of this process there will not be fundamental objection to them.

Work on preparing proposals for Areas 3, 4 and 5 covering the Park from Coppermill Lane north to the M25 motorway commenced in 2012.  Consultation on the draft Area Proposals took place during the late summer which resulted in a number of amendments.     The final draft Area Proposals were considered by full Authority and formally adopted on the 25th April 2013.      These new proposals replace sections 6, 5 and the majority of section 4 of Part 2 of the Park Plan (2000).
