Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 2019FO R EW O R DI am proud to publish this new and ambitious London Plan. Many Londoners won’t knowabout or have come across the London Plan, but it shapes their lives on a daily basis. It isone of the most crucial documents for our city, and what it contains shapes ho w Londonevolves and develops over coming years. Since I was elected Mayor in May 2016,publishing a new and revised London Plan, one that reflected the policies and issues onwhich I was elected by the people of this great city, has been a major priority for myadministration. This new London Plan marks a break with previous London Plans,represents a step-change in our approach and serves as a blueprint for the futuredevelopment and sustainable, inclusive growth of our city.Over many decades, London has evolved, resulting in an extraordinary web of distinctiveresidential streets, squares, markets, parks, offices, and industrial and creative spaces.And the built environment we see today – the legacy of previous generations – has notjust shaped the way our city looks, but has had a profound impact on how and where welive, work, study and socialise with one another.Throughout this evolution, London has seen waves of growth and our surroundings reflectthese past chapters of rapid development and change. We now face another wave ofgrowth, the likes of which we’ve not seen for a century. Our population is projected toincrease by 70,000 every year, reaching 10.8 million in 2041. This means that just tomeet demand, at least 66,000 new homes need to be built – along with space for tens ofthousands of new jobs – every single year.Preparing to deal with such a level of growth is undoubtedly one of the biggest challengesof our times, putting pressure on land, housing, infrastructure and the envir onment. It alsocomes as we are facing other unprecedented challenges: Brexit and the uncertainty this iscausing; air pollution; climate change; and entrenched inequality. Yet despite thesechallenges, I am optimistic that we can embrace London’s popula tion rise as a once in alifetime opportunity to write the next big chapter in London’s history and to deliver a newvision for our city. We let down future generations if we do not properly plan foraccommodating growth in a way which is environmentally, economically and sociallysustainable.So this London Plan sets out a new way of doing things, something I am calling GoodGrowth. Good Growth is about working to re-balance development in London towardsmore genuinely affordable homes for working Londoners to buy and rent. And it’s aboutdelivering a more socially integrated and sustainable city, where people have more of asay and growth brings the best out of existing places while providing new opportunities tocommunities.Good Growth is not about supporting growth at any cost, which for too long has been thepriority, leaving many Londoners feeling excluded and contributing to a lack of communitycohesion and social integration.

Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 2019Some of the very richest and very poorest people in the country li ve in London, withhealthy life expectancy differing by up to 19 years between boroughs. The economicprosperity and wealth, often right on some people’s doorsteps, seems more remote andinaccessible to them than ever before. For too many Londoners, the t hought of buyingsomewhere to call home is out of reach.Instead, what we need is growth that allows us to build thousands of genuinely affordablehomes at the same time as creating a more inclusive, greener and safer city that supportsthe health and wellbeing of all Londoners.There are no quick fixes to the housing crisis London faces. I have always been honestwith Londoners that it’s going to be a marathon, not a sprint. But we are already makingprogress and this plan underscores my determination to address this huge problem.Central to the plan is how we can help boroughs better co -ordinate growth across London.It includes strong new measures and sets ambitious targets for every London borough forbuilding the housing we need – with the goal of roughly doubling the current rate ofhomebuilding. This goes alongside my strategic target for half of new homes to begenuinely affordable.Unlike previous versions of the London Plan, which have often read as sweepingstatements of ambition rather than concrete plans for action, this document places aspecific focus on tangible policies and planning issues and provides greater clarity overhow the plan will be implemented and where in London major development andinfrastructure should be delivered.Crucially, the plan also details how my housing, social, economic, cultural, environmentaland transport policies tie together to achieve maximum impact. This integration acrossdifferent policy areas is key to creating the conditions for sustainable grow th, spawningnew and exciting opportunities for Londoners and helping to deliver my wider vision for ourcity.Through this London Plan, I want to build a city that works for all Londoners – whereeveryone has the opportunity to reach their potential, lead fulfilling lives and build tightbonds with people from many different backgrounds within their communities.My vision is for a city with an economy that supports more and better paid jobs spreadacross the capital. A city where people can spend less time commuting because we haveso many thriving parts of London, with good affordable housing, combined with exci ting,cutting-edge career opportunities. And a city where access to great culture is built into thefabric of every part of London, with our rich heritage and cultural offer supporting ourgrowing world-class creative industries.I also see the London Plan revolutionising the way we get around our city - enabling aboom in active travel, with walking and cycling becoming the primary, default choice formillions of Londoners because we have made it far easier and safer. I envisage Londonas a greener city, with high quality open spaces, parks and commons, and one where welead the way in tackling climate change by moving towards a zero -carbon city by 2050.

Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 2019And when I look to the future, I see London as a city with clean air for our children tobreath, and a pioneering smart city with world-class digital connectivity supporting moredigital devices to improve the lives of Londoners and enable businesses to thrive.This London Plan is fundamentally about taking a holistic approach and utilising all thelevers we have in London to shape our city for the better, built around the needs, healthand wellbeing of all Londoners. It combines a purpose and a vision. This new approachsets us up for some exciting and innovative times ahead as our population grow s. But weneed everyone to do their bit, including boroughs, developers, land owners, existingresidents, architects and, of course, the Government.The level of growth we must plan for will require significant investment - both frombusinesses and the public sector – in transport, infrastructure and affordable housing.And in order to deliver the fundamental change we need in the long-term, the Governmentshould step up and give more powers and investment to London.There is no question we face some huge challenges ahead. But this London Plan is anopportunity we must grasp to shape the future of our city for generations to come - notonly in regard to the way it looks and feels, but in its character and how Londoners liveprosperous and fulfilling lives.Sadiq KhanMayor of London

Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 2019Introducing the PlanIntroducing the Plan0.0.1This section explains what the London Plan is, how to use the document and whatprocess the draft Plan must goes through before it is formally published.What is the London Plan?0.0.2Under the legislation establishing the Greater London Authority (GLA), the Mayoris required to publish a Spatial Development Strategy (SDS) and keep it underreview. The SDS is known as the London Plan. As the overall strategic plan forLondon, it sets out an integrated economic, environmental, transport and socialframework for the development of London over the next 20-25 years.0.0.3The general objectives for the London Plan, and the process for drawing it up,altering it and replacing it, are set out in the Greater London Authority Act 1999(as amended) and the Town and Country Planning (London Spatial DevelopmentStrategy) Regulations 2000. The London Plan has been developed in line withthese requirements.0.0.4The legislation stipulates that the London Plan should only deal with things ofstrategic importance to Greater London 1 taking account of the principal purposesof the Greater London Authority which are 2:0.0.5123 promoting economic development and wealth creation in Greater Londo n promoting social development in Greater London; and promoting the improvement of the environment in Greater London.In developing the SDS, in accordance with the legislation 3 and associatedregulations, the Mayor has had regard to: the principle that there should be equality of opportunity for all people reducing health inequality and promoting Londoners’ health achieving sustainable development in the United Kingdom climate change and the consequences of climate change the desirability of promoting and encouraging the use of the Thames,particularly for passenger and freight transportationGLA Act 1999, section 334(5)GLA Act 1999, section 30GLA Act 1999, Section 41

Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 2019 0.0.60.0.7the resources available to implement the Mayor’s strategies.In drawing up the new London Plan, the Mayor has also had regard to: All relevant European Union obligations of the UK The need to ensureconsistency with national policies and international treaty obligations notified tothe Mayor by Government, without seeking to repeat national policy The Mayor’s other statutory obligations including the duty for the GLA to do allit reasonably can to prevent crime and disorder under the Crime and DisorderAct 1998, and the public-sector equality duty, as set out in Section 149 of theEquality Act 2010, covering race, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation,religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity, and gender reassignment .The document brings together the geographical and locational aspects of theMayor’s other strategies, to ensure consistency with those strategies, includingthose dealing with: Transport Environment Economic Development Housing Culture Health and Health Inequalities.0.0.9The London Plan is legally part of each of London’s Local Planning Authorities’Development Plan and must be taken into account when planning decisions aretaken in any part of Greater London. Planning applications should be determinedin accordance with it, unless there are sound planning reasons (other materialconsiderations) which indicate otherwise. All Development Plan Documents andNeighbourhood Plans have to be ‘in general conformity’ with the London Plan.How to use the document0.0.10Planning in London is the joint responsibility of the Mayor of London and the 32London boroughs, the City of London Corporation and the Mayoral DevelopmentCorporations (MDCs) (of which there are currently two: the London LegacyDevelopment Corporation and the Old Oak Park Royal Development Corporation )along with neighbourhood forums designated by London’s local plann ingauthorities. When the London Plan refers to ‘boroughs’ it is referring to the 32London boroughs, the City of London and the MDCs. This approach has beentaken to make the document more readable.

Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 20190.0.11The London Plan is an integrated policy framework and must be read as a whole.The placement of the topic chapters and the policies within the chapters is noreflection on their importance or weight – it does not represent a hierarchy.0.0.12 The London Plan sets out policies and supporting text (also known as reasonedjustification). These take account of: the legal requirements related to the development of the London Plan otherrequirements of Government planning policy and guidance (without seeking torepeat these) the integrated impact and habitats regulations assessment the evidence that underpins the Plan (without seeking to repeat it).0.0.13 The published London Plan will also take account of the comments received duringthe consultation process and the recommendations of the panel that conduct theExamination in Public (see Next Steps).0.0.14 This London Plan runs from 2019 to 2041. This date has been chosen to provide alonger-term view of London’s development to inform decision making. However,some of the more detailed elements of the Plan, such as the annual housingtargets are set for only the first ten years of the Plan. This reflects the capacity ofland suitable for residential development and intensification identified in the 2017Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA), which due to thedynamic nature of London’s land market does not attempt to robustly identifycapacity beyond 2029.0.0.14A The Government recently published a new methodology for calculating housingneed. This new methodology was published too late to be incorporated into theevidence-base for the new London Plan, which instead relies on the 2017 StrategicHousing Market Assessment (SHMA) for its evidence of housing needs. The 2017SHMA uses an established methodology, that takes full account of the diversity ofLondon’s housing needs and has been found sound at previous Examinations . .40.0.15 To help the reader navigate through the London Plan, paragraphs include keywords in bold. The bold font does not signify extra weight or suggest that theparagraph is the only place that the specific issue is discussed.0.0.16 A glossary has also been included to provide a definition of words or phraseswhere necessary.A new Plan0.0.17 This is a new London Plan (also known as a Replacement Plan). This means it isnot an alteration or update to previous London Plans. This new London Plan, oncepublished will be the third London Plan, the previous ones being the 2004 LondonPlan produced by former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone and the 2011 London4 deleted

Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 2019Plan produced by former Mayor of London Boris Johnson. All of the otheriterations of the London Plan from 2004-2016 have been alterations. Oncepublished this London Plan will replace all previous versions.0.0.18 This London Plan is different to those that have gone before it. It is moreambitious and focused than any previous London Plans. The concept of GoodGrowth – growth that is socially and economically inclusive and environmentallysustainable – underpins the London Plan and ensures that it is focused onsustainable development.0.0.19 As well as taking account of the relevant legislation, and Government policy, thisLondon Plan also seeks to deliver the Mayor’s manifesto commitments and alongside the Mayor’s other strategies – set the framework for how thesecommitments can be achieved in spatial development terms.0.0.20 The policies in the new London Plan have been developed over a number ofmonths and are supported by a proportionate evidence base 5. The new LondonPlan seeks to develop an approach tailored for London to reflect the particularcircumstances in the capital, and it will act as the key document shaping planningdecisions across Greater London0.0.21 Once published, the London Plan is part of the Development Plan. The Policieshave been drafted in a way that allows London to implement this ambitious LondonPlan as soon as possible. There is no requirement for the policies to be repeatedat the local level. However, in some instances a local approach is required withinthe context of the overall policy. The new London Plan clearly sets out where thisis the case.0.0.21A In addition, the London Plan does not preclude boroughs and neighbourhoodforums from bringing forward policies in their Development Plan Documents orNeighbourhood Plans that vary from the detail of the Policies in this Plan wherelocally-specific circumstances and evidence suggests this would better achievethe objectives of the London Plan and where such an approach can be consideredto be in general conformity with the London Plan.0.0.22 This new London Plan provides the framework to address the key planning issuesfacing London; allowing boroughs to spend time and resources on those issuesthat have a distinctly local dimension and on measures that will help deliver thegrowth London needs. This includes area-based frameworks, action plans andSupplementary Planning Documents, site allocations, brownfield registers anddesign codes, as well as supporting neighbourhood planning.0.0.23 It is crucial that all those involved in planning and development in Londonunderstand how London’s three-tier planning system works (including regional,local and neighbourhood planning) and do not seek to duplicate policy or l-review-evidence-base

Draft London Plan – consolidated changes version – Clean July 20190.0.24 The Mayor is legally required to keep the London Plan under review 6. The KeyPerformance Indicators (KPIs) and approach to monitoring set out in the finalchapter of the Plan provide a basis for this ongoing review, allowing anassessment of the effectiveness of the Plan to be made over time. Alongside this,key assumptions which underpin the Plan will also be monitored, in particularpopulation and household growth and employment growth. Significantdemographic or employment changes which are likely to persist would trigger apartial or full review of the Plan, as would significant persistent divergence fromthe performance measures of the KPIs.A City for all Londoners0.0.25 In October 2016, the Mayor published ‘A City for All Londoners’. This documentset the tone for all of the Mayor’s strategies and the direction of travel for theMayoralty. It discussed the high-level responses to the big challenges that Londonfaces: the pressure that a fast-growing population exerts on the city; theincreasing diversity of Londoners; rising inequality; the changing nature of theeconomy; the uncertainty caused by the EU referendum result; and the effects ofclimate change.0.0.26 The document was put out to consultation and the feedback from it has helpedshape all the Mayoral strategies. In addition, to inform the development of theLondon Plan, a number of workshops were held which provided an opportunity fora range of stakeholders to come together and discuss the challenges andopportunities the city faces.Integrated Impact Assessment0.0.27 A key pa
