6. Key issues‘Tests of soundness’
To be “sound” the contents of a Local Plan should be:
1. positively prepared
2. justified
3. effective
4. consistent with national policy*
*as set out in paragraph 182 of the National Planning Policy
Framework (NPPF)
7. Key issues
1. Positively prepared
The Local Plan should be prepared based on a
strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed
development and infrastructure requirements,
including unmet requirements from neighbouring
authorities where it is reasonable to do so and
consistent with achieving sustainable development.
1. Positively prepared
8. Key issues2. Justified
1. Positively prepared
2. Justified
The plan should be the most

against the reasonable alternatives,
based on proportionate evidence.
9. Key issues3. Effective
1. Positively prepared
2. Justified
3. Effective
The plan should be deliverable over its
period based on effective joint working on
cross-boundary strategic priorities.
10. Key issues4. Consistent…

13. STATEMENT OF
CONSULTATION
• The bodies and persons invited to make representations
• How those bodies and persons were invited to make
representations
• A summary of the main issues raised by those
representations
• How those main issues have been addressed in the Local
Plan
14. INFRASTRUCTURE
DELIVERY PLAN
• Transport, physical, environmental, social and utilities
infrastructure
• What it is
• How much it costs
• What are sources of funding and financing for the
infrastructure
• When is it needed by
16. • Old Oak and Park Royal will be a highly connected part of
London, playing an important role in shaping west London’s
future
• Comprising an innovative industrial area, working alongside a
high-density new part of London, the area will be home to a
diverse and intense mix of uses, places and people
• Development will pioneer excellence in sustainability, health
and well-being and design quality to deliver tangible benefits for
both local communities and London

Local Plan 2018-38 22,200
• OPDC core site can accommodate multiple delivery markets;
• PRS and affordable housing can be absorbed alongside the private
units;
• Annual 700 private units a year plus affordable housing gives rise to
a yearly housing target of 1,110;
• Regeneration on the scale envisaged will be incredibly complex and
is dependent on working with key stakeholders to find solutions to
allow particular sites to provide new housing;
• The phasing plan will have to be reviewed from time to time.
Key issues1. Housing
34. • It is proposed that OPDC adopts an overall 50% affordable
housing target, measured by habitable rooms, subject to viability
• To promote a mixed community balanced by housing needs and
incomes, the following affordable tenure mix is proposed for Old
Oak and Park Royal:
o 30% London Affordable Rent; and
o 70% Intermediate Housing
• To promote a mixed and balanced community officers propose to
include a policy requirement to deliver 25% family units overall
across all tenures (including meeting Strategic Housing Market
Assessment (SHMA) mix for London Affordable Rent (LAR))

4. Social infrastructure
48. Sequential approach to policy:
1. Limit water use and optimise water recycling
2. Connect into strategic SUDS. Where this is not
feasible…
3. Deliver on-site SUDS. And where not feasible…
4. Deliver alternative attenuation measures (e.g
tanking)
8. Utilities – approach
49. • Strongly encourage car-free development within Public Transport
Accessibility Levels (PTALs) 4-6b;
• 0.2 spaces per residential unit elsewhere;
• Car- free for non-residential developments, but recognises there may be
cases where limited car parking can be justified when operational or business
needs and access to public transport are taken into account
10. Transport & parking
This are linked together by a network of streets, both new and existing, which connect the stations and integrate the area into its surroundings.
There are concerns that the overall quantum of development may be excessive and could impact on the quality of the place.
There are queries as to whether the balance between homes and jobs is right and whether the homes target should be increased and the jobs target reduced.
How will we deliver genuinely affordable housing given the scale of infrastructure needed
There was general acceptance that this is a tall building location; however, there are concerns about the number and location of tall buildings, particularly in close proximity to existing residential areas, heritage assets and open space.
The timely delivery of sufficient social infrastructure will be critical to creating a good place
Additional sites should be released for non-industrial, or mixed use development along Victoria Road and Old Oak Lane. This would help provide a buffer between existing and future residents and Park Royal.
Green space presents an special challenge.
Green space can have a multitude of benefits – place-making, health and well-being, social interaction and integration, environmental benefits for water attenuation, urban heat island, biodiversity etc.
Its important that OPDC provides for the right quantum and quality of open space
Public space is especially important when designing to such high densities and limited opportunities for private open space.
We have some important assets we need to capitalise on – the canal and Wormwood Scrubs. Enhancing access to these will be imperative.
Being informed in part by the Atkins commission. Plan to undertake a GI and Open space strategy to further inform OPDC’s approach to GI provision.
“Here’s an illustration of relationship between peak and base load heat demand”
“While the peak demand for heat is 100 MW, the base load represents the majority of the total year’s heat demand. The base load is the load that exists all year round – the base load is typically targeted to be met by gas CHP / low carbon techs, with gas boilers meeting the peak demand scenario.
We need to identify low carbon heat sources with capacity c.5-10MW for first 10 years; 20-30MW at full build out.”
