• Detailed policies used in deciding planning applications, such as design and affordable housing requirements.
• ‘Place-based policies’ which describe how key locations are expected to change over time, divided into four sub areas: Hackney Wick and Fish Island, North Stratford and Eton Manor, Central Stratford and the south of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and Pudding Mill, Bromley-by-Bow and Mill Meads.

Together, these documents form part of the Development Plan for the Legacy Corporation Area.
