Transport
Hackney Council is integrating transport into its new Local Plan, while Islington's scrutiny committee plans its transport-related work.
Hackney Council's Cabinet approved the timetable for its new Local Plan in June 2026. This document, which will guide development for 10 to 15 years, includes transport as a key strategic topic. The formal process to develop the plan began in July 2026, aiming for completion within 30 months under new national planning reforms.
In June 2026, Islington Council's Environment, Climate and Transport Scrutiny Committee discussed its work programme for the 2026-27 municipal year. This committee is responsible for scrutinising topics related to transport, indicating ongoing oversight and planning of future discussions in this area.
Transport, encompassing the movement of people and goods, including road networks and public transport, is a key consideration in planning. Greenwich Council's Transport and Place Scrutiny Panel discussed a draft Local Plan with a dedicated transport chapter in October 2025.
