Consultation on the Elephant and Castle SPD now closed
Published 7 February 2012
The consultation period for the Elephant and Castle Supplementary Planning Document closed on 7 February.
Consultation on the Elephant and Castle SPD (supplementary planning document) was undertaken between 15 November 2011 and 7 February 2012.
Gaining your feedback and views over the past few months has been really important and it will help us make sure that the final Elephant and Castle SPD meets your needs and aspirations for the growth of the Opportunity Area.
The SPD will be taken to our Cabinet for adoption on 20 March 2012. We will publish a summary of the main issues raised and council officers' preliminary response on 8 March 2012.
