London Plan 2011 PDF 1 MB - Lambeth Council

The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version
2.20 The host boroughs are developing a Strategic Regeneration Framework that
aims to link the physical improvements that will be brought about by the
Olympics and the LCS with socio-economic change in the host boroughs.
The overall ambition of the host boroughs, shared by the Mayor and
Government, is to achieve convergence in quality of life with the London
average across a range of key indicators. The GLA and its functional bodies
will take account of this ambition in the development and implementation of
all strategies, plans and business plans.
2.21 The Mayor is a member of the Olympic Board, which co-ordinates the work
of the bodies responsible for delivering the Games along with the London
Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) and the Olympic
Delivery Authority (ODA). The Mayor will use his established policies as a
basis for influencing strategies and plans underpinning the Games’
preparation and staging, including those for design, procurement and
sustainable development. The Mayoral Olympic Legacy Supplementary
Planning Guidance planned for 2011–2012 will draw together and
formalise the key strategic planning policies and objectives that will shape
the area over the next 10–20 years.
2.22 Development associated with the Games will be focused on Stratford, the
Lower Lee Valley and parts of the Upper Lee Valley Opportunity Area. It
will seek to enhance the amenities of the Lee Valley Regional Park and the
Olympic Park and to support integration with strategies and policies being
developed for the London-Stansted-Cambridge-Peterborough corridor and
the London Thames Gateway.
Sub-regions
POLICY 2.5 SUB-REGIONS
Strategic
A The Mayor will, and boroughs and other stakeholders should, develop the
most effective cross boundary working arrangements and groupings to
address specific issues.
B The Mayor will monitor implementation of the London Plan, and other
strategies as appropriate, on the basis of the sub-regional structure shown
in Map 2.1.
2.23 The challenges and opportunities facing London have little regard to
administrative boundaries. The Mayor strongly supports partnership-based,
cross border working to address them, with working arrangements tailored
to particular tasks. This will be particularly important where issues (such as
the development of opportunity areas) affect more than one sub-region.
Strategic agencies will have a role in these where they can add value in
delivering strategic and local objectives, for example by providing support
for implementing cross borough strategies and initiatives. Where
appropriate, partnership arrangements should be extended to include
neighbouring authorities, especially to coordinate infrastructure provision
and to address common issues affecting development corridors beyond
London.
