The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version safeguarding services within London j enhancing the Docklands Light Railway and Tramlink networks k providing new river crossings LDF preparation C DPDs should identify development opportunities related to locations which will benefit from increased public transport accessibility. 6.16 London’s workers and visitors come from far and wide, so its public transport ‘offer’ does not begin or end at its boundaries. Improving accessibility and capacity within the greater south east of England and beyond will help London maintain its attractiveness as a place to work, visit and do business. Map 6.1 sets out a number of the larger transport schemes, over the period of the Plan. [Map 6.1 Major transport schemes] 6.17 The Mayor will work closely with Government and with the local and subregional authorities and bodies in the East and South East of England to develop and implement transport policies and projects to support the sustainable development of the London city region and the wider south east of England, and to develop co-ordinated approaches to cross-boundary transport policy-making and services. In particular, the Mayor supports the principle of improved port and airport capacity in south-east England. 6.18 The Thameslink Upgrade, expected to be completed by 2018, is a significant enhancement of cross-London capacity. It will connect north and south, linking King’s Cross, Blackfriars and London Bridge, enable more through journeys and improve interchange at King’s Cross and London Bridge. Despite the committed investment in London’s Underground and National Rail network (such as Crossrail and Thameslink), forecast demand shows that crowding and congestion remains a significant issue along the northeast to southwest corridor across central London. To help to address this, a route for a new line, commonly known as the Chelsea Hackney Line (and often referred to as Crossrail 2) has been safeguarded across London. It is essential that this safeguarding remains in place to protect this important new line, which would provide significant new rail capacity and congestion relief to existing rail and Tube lines. TfL is currently engaged in a review of such a potential line, including considering alternative route alignments, in order to ensure it will be able to provide the maximum benefits and value for money for the investment needed to build it. 6.19 Proposals for a second High Speed line to link the centre of London with Birmingham are currently being considered by Government, in the first instance, as part of a possible wider domestic high speed rail network. This is based on a detailed set of proposals developed by High Speed Two, the company set up by the Department for Transport (DfT) to investigate options for a new high speed line from London to the West Midlands and potentially beyond. According to the DfT's High Speed Rail Command Paper, published in March 2010, such a new line could deliver well over £2 of benefits for every £1 spent on building the line, in addition to providing journey times of 49 minutes from central Birmingham to central London.

The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version Extended north from Birmingham, to Manchester and Leeds (in a "Y" shaped network), it could offer journey times of around 75 minutes between both cities and London, as well as releasing significant capacity on the existing West Coast Main Line (and other routes) for more commuter and freight services. The current plans allow access to Heathrow via a connection with Crossrail in West London, providing the potential for improved connectivity between Heathrow Airport and other parts of the UK by high speed rail, pending longer term construction of a spur or loop to serve Heathrow directly. Options for connectivity to Heathrow are subject to the results of public consultation. 6.20 The Mayor is developing proposals for further new and enhanced river crossings in east London to improve accessibility and the resilience of local transport networks, support economic growth in the area and link local communities (see also paragraph 6.41). These will complement the Jubilee Line crossings, DLR Lewisham and Woolwich extensions, the re-opened crossing of the extended East London Line and the further cross-river public transport capacity provided by Crossrail and will include: • a new cable car-based crossing linking Greenwich Peninsula with the Royal Docks; • a new road-based tunnel crossing between the Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown (see paragraph 6.41); • consideration of ferry-based options east of a crossing at Silvertown; and • consideration over the longer term of a fixed link at Gallions Reach These will help ensure a range of pedestrian, cycle and road-based Thames crossings. POLICY 6.5 FUNDING CROSSRAIL AND OTHER STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE Strategic, Planning decisions and LDF preparation A In view of the strategic regional importance of Crossrail to London’s economic regeneration and development, and in order to bring the project to fruition In a suitably timely and economic manner, contributions will be sought from developments likely to add to, or create, congestion on London's rail network that Crossrail Is Intended to mitigate. This will be through planning obligations, arrangements for the use of which will be established at strategic level, in accordance with relevant legislation and policy guidance. B The Mayor will provide guidance for boroughs and other partners for the negotiation of planning obligations requiring, where appropriate, developers to contribute towards the costs of funding Crossrail having regard to: a the requirement for contributions from development of up to £600 million under the arrangements for funding Crossrail agreed with Government b central Government policy and guidance c strategic and local considerations Page 185 of 310
