The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version B The Mayor will and boroughs should, use the CAZ boundary shown diagrammatically in Map 2.3 as the basis for co-ordinating policy to address the unique issues facing the Zone. The detailed boundary should be defined in DPDs and the Mayor will work closely with boroughs and other stakeholders to prepare Supplementary Planning Guidance to coordinate implementation of strategic policy in its unique circumstances. POLICY 2.11 CENTRAL ACTIVITIES ZONE – STRATEGIC FUNCTIONS Strategic A The Mayor will, and boroughs and other relevant agencies should: a ensure that development proposals to increase office floorspace within CAZ and the north of the Isle of Dogs Opportunity Area include a mix of uses including housing, unless such a mix would demonstrably conflict with other policies in this plan (see Policies 3.4 and 4.3) b seek solutions to constraints on office provision and other commercial development imposed by heritage designations without compromising local environmental quality, including through high quality design to complement these designations c identify, enhance and expand retail capacity to meet strategic and local need and focus this on the CAZ frontages shown on Map 2.3 and in Annex 2 d work together to prepare a planning framework for the West End Special Retail Policy Area e recognise, improve and manage the country’s largest concentration of night time activities in Soho/Covent Garden as well as other strategic clusters in and around CAZ in line with Policy 4.6 f extend the offer and enhance the environment of strategic cultural areas along the South Bank, around the Kensington Museum complex and at the Barbican g ensure development complements and supports the clusters of other strategically important, specialised CAZ uses including legal, health, academic, state and ‘special’ uses while also recognising the ‘mixed’ nature of much of the CAZ h secure completion of essential new transport schemes necessary to support the roles of CAZ, including Crossrail; maintain and enhance its transport and other essential infrastructure and services; realise resultant uplifts in development capacity to extend and improve the attractions of the Zone; and enable CAZ uses to contribute to provision of these transport investments i seek capacity in or on the fringe of the CAZ suitable for strategic international convention functions. [Map 2.3 The CAZ Diagram] 2.44 The Central Activities Zone covers London’s geographic, economic and administrative core.
