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 />
