Campaigners have won the referendum to make the long-awaited Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Plan legally binding and temper developments putting strain on mains supplies.
The newly-recognised neighbourhood forum, which has been campaigning since 2014 for more planning controls, got 7,874 yes votes and only 1,264 no votes - an 86 per cent win for adoption - in a referendum held on May 6.

If you live on the Isle of Dogs, you should have got a polling card by now for the Isle of Dogs – Neighbourhood Planning Referendum.
Please vote yes .
You are voting to approve a plan written by residents of the Isle of Dogs.
Their Neighbourhood Planning Forum is approved by the council but independent of it. The plan contains new planning policies which developers have to meet in order to get permission to build - if they fail to do so, their application can be rejected.
