Planning Authority of the Year winner - London Borough of Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets faces a number of planning challenges, including the largest housing target in London and a high need for social housing and employment opportunities.
The Strategic Planning Service has developed a collection of innovative policy and guidance documents to meet these challenges, focusing on topics including high density design, tall buildings, and waste management. This has enabled the service to help deliver the vision of the Local Plan and work with developers and the community to ensure high-quality development comes forward in Tower Hamlets.
