0 OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version 0.1 This introduction explains the status of this new London Plan, what it covers and the process it has gone through before it has been formally published. What is the London Plan? 0.2 Strategic planning in London is the shared responsibility of the Mayor of London, 32 London boroughs and the Corporation of the City of London. Under the legislation establishing the Greater London Authority (GLA), the Mayor has to produce a spatial development strategy (SDS) – which has become known as ‘the London Plan’ – and to keep it under review. Boroughs’ local development documents have to be ‘in general conformity’ with the London Plan, which is also legally part of the development plan that has to be taken into account when planning decisions are taken in any part of London unless there are planning reasons why it should not. 0.3 The general objectives for the London Plan, and the process for drawing it up, altering and replacing it, are currently set out in the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended), detailed regulations and guidance in Government Office for London Circular 1/2008. The London Plan is: • the overall strategic plan for London, setting out an integrated economic, environmental, transport and social framework for the development of London over the next 20–25 years • the document that brings together the geographic and locational (although not site specific) aspects of the Mayor’s other strategies – including those dealing with: o Transport o Economic Development o Housing o Culture o a range of social issues such as children and young people, health inequalities and food o a range of environmental issues such as climate change (adaptation and mitigation), air quality, noise and waste • the framework for the development and use of land in London, linking in improvements to infrastructure (especially transport); setting out proposals for implementation, coordination and resourcing; and helping to ensure joined-up policy delivery by the GLA Group of organisations (including Transport for London) • the strategic, London-wide policy context within which boroughs should set their detailed local planning policies Page 10 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version • the policy framework for the Mayor’s own decisions on the strategic planning applications referred to him • an essential part of achieving sustainable development, a healthy economy and a more inclusive society in London 1 0.4 Under the legislation setting up the GLA, the London Plan should only deal with things of strategic importance to Greater London 2 . The legislation also requires that the London Plan should take account of three cross-cutting themes: 3 • economic development and wealth creation • social development; and • improvement of the environment. 0.5 The Mayor has also had regard to the principle that there should be equality of opportunity for all people, and to: • reducing health inequality and promoting Londoners’ health • climate change and the consequences of climate change • achieving sustainable development in the United Kingdom • the desirability of promoting and encouraging use of the Thames, particularly for passenger and freight transportation • the need to ensure consistency between the strategies prepared by the Mayor • the need to ensure consistency with national policies and international treaty obligations notified to the Mayor by Government, and • the resources available to implement the Mayor’s strategies. Under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, the GLA also has to do all it reasonably can to prevent crime and disorder. 0.6 In drawing up the new London Plan, the Mayor has also had regard to relevant European Union legislation and policy instruments like the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) 4 . Why was the London Plan ‘replaced’? 0.7 The Mayor is legally required to keep the London Plan under review 5 . Government guidance also sets out the procedure to be followed when he decides that the Plan should be amended (or ‘altered’ under planning law), or when he decides there should be a completely new (or ‘replacement’) Plan. 1 Government Office for London.
