Local Development Scheme (LDS)
Hillingdon Council is revising its Local Development Scheme timetable to reflect new housing targets and planning systems.
Hillingdon Council's Cabinet endorsed a revised timetable for its Local Development Scheme (LDS) in January 2026. This scheme guides the borough's development over the next 15 years. The revised plan shifts key stages into 2026 and beyond, responding to external factors like a doubled housing target.
The Cabinet recommended the revised timetable to the Full Council for adoption at its meeting on 22 January 2026. Councillor Steve Tuckwell, Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Growth, stated the existing timetable, adopted in February 2025, was no longer achievable due to changes in national planning policy.
