The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version 2.74 The current role of town centres should be tested through regular town centre ‘health checks’. This process should ensure that the network is sufficiently flexible to accommodate change in the role of centres and their relationships to one another. Centres can be reclassified and, where appropriate, new centres designated, in the light of these through subsequent reviews or alterations to this plan and DPDs. Changes to the upper tiers in the network (Major and above) should be co-ordinated first through this Plan. 2.75 Annex 2 provides strategic guidance on policy directions for individual town centres, including their potential for growth. It has been informed by the latest Londonwide retail need study 12 , town centre health checks 13 , the 2009 office policy review 14 and collaborative work with the boroughs and Outer London Commission. Potential future changes to the categorisations of centres within the network (subject to implementation and planning approvals), together with the roles of other centres in the regeneration process are set out in Annex 2. Boroughs should identify and promote the complementary offers of the other smaller centres in the network including neighbourhood centres and local shopping parades. These play a key role in meeting ‘walk to’, everyday needs and are often the kernel of local ‘Lifetime’ neighbourhoods. 2.76 The Mayor requires a proactive partnership approach to identifying and bringing forward capacity for different types of town centre related uses within or on the edges of centres whilst restraining inappropriate out of centre development (see Policy 4.7). This is the essential complement to Policy 2.15, helping to reinvigorate town centres, widening their roles and offers, developing their identities, enhancing agglomeration benefits and encouraging more sustainable modes of travel. Strategic outer London development centres POLICY 2.16 STRATEGIC OUTER LONDON DEVELOPMENT CENTRES Strategic A The Mayor will, and boroughs and other stakeholders should, identify, develop and promote strategic development centres in outer London or adjacent parts of inner London with one or more strategic economic functions of greater than sub-regional importance (see para 2.77) by: a co-ordinating public and private infrastructure investment b bringing forward adequate development capacity c placing a strong emphasis on creating a distinct and attractive business offer and public realm through design and mixed use development as well as any more specialist forms of accommodation d improving Londoners’ access to new employment opportunities.

The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version implement planning frameworks and/or other appropriate spatial planning and investment tools that can effect positive change to realise the potential of strategic outer London development centres. 2.77 In investigating possible sources of new economic growth or existing sources which could help achieve a step change in economic performance, the Outer London Commission highlighted business locations with specialist strengths which potentially or already function above the sub-regional level and generate growth significantly above the long term outer London trend. These are intended to complement the network of town and other centres rather than to compete with them, being identified on the basis of their distinctive function or scale. Some of these locations are technically in inner London, but have economic significance for outer areas. These include the potential centres in Table 2.1. 2.78 This list is not exhaustive. The Mayor will work with relevant stakeholders to explore the potential of these and other locations for strategically significant, specialist growth in ways which will not undermine the prospects of other business locations; will help achieve his wider objectives (including tackling congestion and carbon emissions by reducing the need for longdistance commuting) and will take account of the principles set out in policies 2.6–2.8. Work is already underway on some, notably those currently identified as opportunity areas, and this policy will add a new dimension to their development. The Mayor will work with boroughs, sub-regional partnerships and other stakeholders to develop guidance on the designation and development of strategic outer London development centres, taking account of experience in taking the concept forward in the centres identified in paragraph 2.77. If necessary, alterations to this Plan will be brought forward to support the further development of this concept.
