Drop-in Events

14 March 2024

Drop-in event - Asda Leyton Mills

Come visit us at Asda in Leyton Mills Retail Park between 2pm and 7pm to discuss the draft Leyton Mills SPD.

Why we have prepared this SPD jointly

The SPD area, while entirely within the LB of Waltham Forest, is within the Local Planning Authority (LPA) areas of both the LLDC and the Council. Specifically, the areas of Eton Manor and Temple Mills are within the LLDC LPA area. As a result, the SPD has been prepared within the context of both the new Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1 (anticipated for adoption in 2024) and the LLDC Local Plan (2020).

The LLDC is due to transfer its planning powers back to the four Growth Boroughs, including Waltham Forest from 1st December 2024. You can find further information on our website https://www.queenelizabetholympicpark.co.uk/transfer-planning-powers.
