Core Strategy
The Core Strategy is part of the Development Plan along with the saved Southwark Plan and London Plan. These are the main documents used to make planning decisions and set the strategy for development in Southwark.
The Core Strategy was adopted by Council Assembly on the 6th April 2011.

Southwark Plan
The Southwark Plan is part of the Development Plan along with the Core Strategy and London Plan. Some of the detailed Southwark plan policies were 'saved' in July 2010 with permission from the Secretary of State. You can view the list in the formal notification letter for the saved policies.
Some of these policies have now been superceded by policies in the Core Strategy which was adopted on April 6 2011.
We have put together a version of the Southwark Plan 2011 which shows the saved policies with any changes to policies superceded by the Core Strategy 2010.
London Plan
The London Plan 2008 (consolidated with Alterations since 2004) is part of the Development Plan along with the Core Strategy and the saved Southwark Plan.
Saved Policies
As part of the core strategy we have set out a document stating which policies will be saved as are consistent with the core strategy and which Southwark Plan policies will be replaced in the core strategy. This was submitted to the Secretary of State and agreed by Friday 23 July.
