LDF Core Strategy Evidence Base

Government guidance as set out in the Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12) requires the local planning authority to focus on providing “robust and credible” evidence to demonstrate how the Development Plan Documents have been produced at each stage and the supporting evidence to justify them.

Hackney has produced and commissioned a series of studies, documents and background evidence which provide information to support the production of the Hackney Local Development Framework (LDF). These include:
