Fitzrovia area action plan

What is the Fitzrovia Area Action Plan?

We are preparing an Area Action Plan for Fitzrovia in response to continued significant pressure for development in the area.

The Area Action Plan will help to shape the future of Fitzrovia by:

• addressing the impact of growth on residential amenity and the balance between residential, institutional and commercial uses;
• developing a shared direction for the area; and
• coordinating development proposals across a number of significant sites.

Fitzrovia Area Action Plan Working Draft

We have prepared a working draft of the Fitzrovia Area Action Plan, shaped by our steering group that brings together community representatives, key landowners, councillors and council officers:

• Fitzrovia Area Action Plan Working Draft (PDF 5.7MB)

We have also prepared a summary leaflet:

• Fitzrovia Area Action Plan Leaflet (PDF 535KB)

Evidence base

We are currently compiling an evidence base report that presents information and statistics on the population, economy and activities in Fitzrovia. Once this report is completed we will make it available on this webpage. The report will build on the Fitzrovia Area Action Plan Key Evidence already available on this webpage.

How does the Area Action Plan connect to other parts of the LDF?

The Area Action Plan draws out Core Strategy visions and objectives that relate to Fitzrovia, particularly those that seek to balance business/institutional needs with those of the residential community. It will form part of our Local Development Framework and will therefore be used when we make decisions on planning applications in Fitzrovia:
