The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version outer London include: • Strategic Outer London Development Centres (Policy 2.16), particularly the strategic office centres at Croydon and Stratford and elsewhere if justified by demand, for example at Brent Cross • mid-urban business parks such as that which has been developed at Chiswick • town centre based office quarters • conventional business parks beyond the urban area, such as those at Stockley Park and Bedfont Lakes, which should work towards greater transport sustainability • science and innovation parks, ranging from urban incubator units to more spacious provision • existing linear office developments such as the ‘Golden Mile’ in Hounslow, which should be made more sustainable in transport terms • locally oriented, town centre based office provision, which can be consolidated effectively to meet local needs, or where necessary, changed to other uses. 4.13 Local plans and strategies should support the conversion of surplus offices to other uses and promote mixed use development in the light of integrated strategic and local studies of office demand. Informed by the independent London Office Review Panel a ‘plan, monitor and manage’ approach will be used to reconcile office demand and supply across the development cycles likely to be encountered over the years to 2031. This may well provide scope for changes from surplus office to other uses, especially housing, providing overall capacity is sustained to meet London’s long-term office needs. The scope for re-use of otherwise surplus large office space for smaller units suitable for SMEs should also be considered. 4.14 In the CAZ and the Isle of Dogs there remains strong long-term office demand, and a substantial development pipeline which is partly subject to the implementation of Crossrail and other significant investments in transport capacity. Environmental improvements in these locations continue to be needed to enhance its attraction as a global business location. POLICY 4.3 MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AND OFFICES Strategic A a Within the Central Activities Zone and the north of the Isle of Dogs Opportunity Area (see Chapter 2 and Annex 1), increases in office floorspace should provide for a mix of uses including housing, unless such a mix would demonstrably conflict with other policies in this plan b elsewhere in London, mixed use development and redevelopment should support consolidation and enhancements to the quality of the remaining office stock in the types of strategically specified locations identified in paragraph 4.12.

The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version a develop policies and strategies taking into account the above spatial principles b develop local approaches to mixed use development and office provision taking into account the contribution that ‘land use swaps’, ‘housing credits’ and off-site contributions can make, especially to sustain strategically important clusters of commercial activities such as those in the City of London and the north of the Isle of Dogs Opportunity Area. In outer London, the consolidation of surplus office provision can provide opportunities to ‘swap’ new office provision to the most viable types of location outlined in paragraph 4.12. 4.15 The Mayor encourages mixed use development, with different approaches for places where high office values will generally support other uses, and those where values for other uses (such as residential) may be higher and support some office space renewal. London’s economic growth depends heavily on an efficient labour market and this in turn requires adequate housing provision to sustain it. This can be partly addressed through mixed use development (see also Chapter 3). The concepts of land use ‘swaps’ and ‘credits’ (see Glossary) can support this process as part of local approaches to implementation of this policy in differing circumstances and may be coordinated for application across borough boundaries to support the broader objectives of this Plan. 4.16 Beyond CAZ and the north of the Isle of Dogs, mixed use redevelopment can play a role in promoting selective renewal and modernisation of the stock in appropriate locations (see paragraph 4.12) and delivery of other uses including housing as part of a managed process to consolidate the strengths of the office market. Supplementary guidance will provide guidance on this process 74 . 4.17 Within the Central Activities Zone and the north of the Isle of Dogs Opportunity Area, strategically important office development should include other uses, including housing. As a general principle, housing and other uses should be required on-site or nearby to create mixed use neighbourhoods. Exceptions to this should only be permitted where mixed uses might compromise broader objectives, such as sustaining important clusters of business activity, for example in much of the City and the north of the Isle of Dogs, or where greater housing provision, especially of affordable family housing, can be secured beyond this area. In such circumstances, contributions to off-site housing provision should be required as part of a planning agreement. POLICY 4.4 MANAGING INDUSTRIAL LAND AND PREMISES Strategic A The Mayor will work with boroughs and other partners to: a adopt a rigorous approach to industrial land management to ensure a sufficient stock of land and premises to meet the future needs of different types of industrial and related uses in different parts of 74 Mayor of London.
