The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version 0.18 The IIA also included a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and an Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA) to meet the Mayor’s duties under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended) and equal opportunities legislation – see paragraphs 0.4-5. Finally, the IIA covered relevant aspects of a Community Safety Impact Assessment (CsIA) to ensure that the statutory requirements of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, and the newly enacted Police and Justice Act 2006 are also met. 0.19 The IIA 6 and the Habitats Regulation Assessment have helped shape the preparation of the new London Plan, ensuring a wide range of sustainability issues and the importance of protecting specific habitats were taken into account at each stage of the process. The structure of this document 0.20 The Mayor intended that the new London Plan should be different from the previous version – shorter, more clearly strategic and user-friendly, and arranged in topic-based chapters intended to make policies on particular issues easier to find. It is arranged as follows: • a chapter outlining the context for the Plan and its policies • a clear spatial vision in a chapter on ‘Places’ • topic-based chapters on London’s: - People (including housing and social infrastructure) - Economy - Response to climate change - Transport - Living places and spaces - Implementation, monitoring and review. 6 Page 14 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version 1 CONTEXT AND STRATEGY 1.1 This chapter explains the major issues facing London over the period to 2031, providing the background to the detailed policies that follow. It then sets out the Mayor’s vision of the way London should develop over that period and detailed objectives those policies will support. Context 1.2 The 2000 year history of London has been one of constant change. It has grown from a port and river crossing point into a bustling centre of national Government and international commerce. It has been an imperial capital, and a city embracing villages and towns as it grew. It has been home for people in all walks of life, and from all parts of the world. It has led in industrial and scientific innovation, while also enjoying a globally-recognised heritage. Wealth and poverty, old and new, city and suburban rub shoulders. Several times in its past it has fought off disaster and resisted the best efforts of planners to remake it. This is the dynamic, ever-changing city – and its people – that the policies in this plan seek to sustain. 1.3 The new London Plan looks forward to 2031, five years further than the 2008 version. It is obviously more and more difficult to say what may happen the further forward you look. It can also be hard to think beyond what is happening now and the immediate future (particularly against the background of recent dramatic developments in the global and London economy). However, we can draw on past experience to pick out some things that London will have to plan for: A growing population 1.4 London’s population is likely to continue its steady growth. 1.5 The changes to London’s population since 1971 are shown in figure 1.1. London’s population grew until immediately before the Second World War. By 1939, London’s population reached its peak, at 8.6 million, following a period of large-scale development – the part of Middlesex now making up north-west London grew by around 800,000 in the 1930s. This period also saw the beginning of policies to constrain London’s physical growth (such as the Green Belt), encourage development in other parts of the country and reduce the density at which Londoners lived. Decentralisation accelerated in the post-war years with measures like the building of the new towns. As a result London’s population started to fall, reaching a low of 6.7 million in 1988. 1.6 London’s population has grown every year since 1988; even during the quite severe economic downturn of the early 1990s – indeed, growth accelerated then. At mid-2009 it was estimated that London’s population was 7.75 million, (up 85,000 on the previous year). Of these, 3.06 million lived in inner and central London and 4.69 million in outer boroughs.
