Overview

The Romford Masterplan formal consultation is now open!

The draft Romford Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document is a strategic plan aimed at guiding future development within the area. The Masterplan aims to improve Romford's unique character and history, creating a vibrant, mixed-use town centre.

The Masterplan will serve as a planning policy document, influencing private landowner developments within Romford, with financial contributions from these landowners expected to fund public space improvements.

Previous community engagement on the Masterplan was carried out in 2019 and earlier in 2024. This timeline of engagement can be seen here.
