The council has had regard to the local strategies, which have been developedfor the city’s businesses, residents, workers and visitors.

This is the principle at the heart of One City – our fi ve year strategyto build strong communities and deliver excellent council services in Westminster.Each year we use the results of research and consultation with our residents andstakeholders to come up with twenty projects that will enhance quality of life inWestminster. These cover four areas: Order, Opportunity, Enterprise and Renewal.Projects can be new initiatives or improvements to existing services, but woventhrough each is our One City approach: to strengthen community relations, promoteactive citizenship, unite neighbourhoods and enhance customer service.Unitary Development PlanThe Westminster City Council’s Unitary Development Plan (adopted January2007) contains planning policies which control the location, size and activities ofentertainment uses to safeguard residential amenity, local environmental quality andthe established character and function of the various parts of the city. These policieswill be supported by Supplementary Planning Guidance on Entertainment Uses,currently being developed by the council.Local Development Framework Draft Core StrategyAs part of the new planning system, introduced by the Planning & CompulsoryPurchase Act (2004), the council is developing its ‘Core Strategy’ - the principaldocument of its new Local Development Framework (LDF), which will replace the UDP.The Core Strategy will set a clear vision for the pattern and location of development inWestminster.Draft Economic Development Strategy (2007)Ensuring that Westminster remains business-friendly and a fi rst choice location for newand growing businesses.
