The <strong>London</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> July <strong>2011</strong> – RTF version<br />

Realising the benefits of 2012<br />

POLICY 2.4 THE 2012 GAMES AND THEIR LEGACY<br />

Strategic<br />

A The Mayor will work with partners to develop and implement a viable and<br />

sustainable legacy for the Olympic and Paralympic Games to deliver<br />

fundamental economic, social and environmental change within east<br />

<strong>London</strong>, and to close the deprivation gap between the Olympic host<br />

boroughs (see Glossary) and the rest of <strong>London</strong>. This will be <strong>London</strong>’s<br />

single most important regeneration project for the next 25 years. It will<br />

sustain existing stable communities and promote local economic<br />

investment to create job opportunities (especially for young people), driven<br />

by community engagement.<br />

B The Mayor’s priorities for the Olympic Park and the surrounding areas will<br />

be set out in his Olympic Legacy Strategic <strong>Plan</strong>ning Guidance (OLSPG), 10<br />

which will set out the Mayor's long term vision for the Olympic Park and<br />

surrounding area; clarify and emphasise the need for a planned approach to<br />

regeneration and change; embed exemplary design and environmental<br />

quality including attention to the response to climate change and provision<br />

of exemplary energy, water conservation and waste management; and help<br />

meet existing and new housing needs – particularly for families. It will also<br />

consider social, community and cultural infrastructure requirements; set out<br />

how the areas around the Olympic Park can benefit from, be accessible from<br />

and be fully integrated with, emerging legacy proposals; and promote the<br />

further managed release of appropriate industrial sites for mixed use<br />

development while still retaining key industrial land, particularly within<br />

established strategic industrial locations. Legacy development within and<br />

surrounding the Olympic Park and management of the Legacy venues and<br />

parklands should focus on the development of the area for accessible and<br />

affordable sport and recreation and maximising opportunities for all to<br />

increase physical activity and reduce health inequalities.<br />
