Proposed Main Modifications to the Newham Local Plan 2026 – 2042
Newham's Local Plan was submitted for examination in July 2025. Following examination hearings held between December 2025 and February 2026, the Inspector identified a series of Main Modifications required to ensure the Plan meets the tests of legal compliance and soundness.

Comments on other aspects of the submitted Local Plan or re-submissions of previous comments will not be accepted, as these have already been reviewed by the Planning Inspector during the Examination.
