Kingston’s Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Assessment (Regulation 19)

A European site is protected by the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 as amended (known as the Habitats Regulations). The council must carry out an assessment under the Habitats Regulations to test if a plan or project could significantly harm the designated features of a European site. For more information on Habitats Regulations Assessments, please visit the GOV.UK website. 

Kingston’s new Local Plan (2028 - 2043) sets out a vision for a thriving, inclusive and sustainable borough. The Local Plan will guide how the borough grows and develops over the next 15 years, including homes, jobs, community facilities, culture and leisure opportunities and green spaces for future generations to thrive in, whilst celebrating and protecting what makes our Royal Borough unique.

Once a Local Plan has been submitted to the Government, an Inspector will be appointed to examine it. The Inspector will look through our Local Plan, the associated evidence base (including this Habitats Regulations Assessment), and all consultation feedback.

Following this, a public hearing will be arranged. Sharing your comments in this consultation (formally called ‘making a representation’), means that you have the same opportunity to speak at a public examination of our Local Plan as someone who responded to the main Local Plan (Regulation 19) consultation over the summer. Whether you choose to speak at the hearing or not, your feedback will be presented to the Inspector. You can find out more about the Local Plan process on the GOV.UK website.

If you have any questions about this survey or the Local Plan or you need this information in a different format or language, please call us on 020 8547 5000 and ask to speak to the Spatial Planning Team or email us localplan@kingston.gov.uk.
