The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version LDF preparation C Boroughs should: a undertake audits of existing play and informal recreation provision and assessments of need in their areas, considering the qualitative, quantitative and accessibility elements of play and informal recreation facilities b produce strategies on play and informal recreation supported by LDF policies to improve access, safety and opportunity for all children and young people in their area. 3.40 In a densely urbanised city like London, safe and stimulating play facilities are essential for a child’s welfare and future development, as well as preventing health problems such as obesity. However, many children still do not have adequate access to such facilities and some existing provision can be unsuitable. LDFs should address this by providing policies on play provision, including the need for high quality design. Through the development of play strategies, boroughs should ensure the integration of play provision into overall open space strategies. Particular consideration should be given to consultation with children and young people in the design of new provision to understand their changing needs. Appropriate provision should be included for different age groups, including consideration of communal space, roof gardens, indoor space for young children and youth facilities for young people. Appropriate arrangements for management and maintenance of play and communal facilities should be provided. Wherever possible, playspace should include grassed or wooded areas. School playing fields also provide an important contribution to high quality play spaces (Policy 3.18). 3.41 New development including housing should make provision for playspace. This should normally be made on-site and in accordance with LDF play policies for the area. Where development is to be phased, there should be early implementation of the play space. Off-site provision, including the creation of new facilities, improvements to existing provision and an appropriate financial contribution secured by legal agreement towards this provision may be acceptable where it can be demonstrated that it fully satisfies the needs of the development whilst continuing to meet the needs of existing residents. POLICY 3.7 LARGE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS Strategic, planning decisions and LDF preparation A Proposals for large residential developments including complementary non-residential uses are encouraged in areas of high public transport accessibility. B Those on sites of over five hectares or capable of accommodating more than 500 dwellings should be progressed through an appropriately planled process to coordinate where necessary provision of social, environmental and other infrastructure and create neighbourhoods with a distinctive character, sense of local pride and civic identity in line with Chapter 7. The planning of these areas should take place with the engagement of local communities and other stakeholders. Page 82 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version 3.42 Large new developments make a significant contribution to meeting housing need and provide opportunities to create particularly attractive neighbourhoods with distinctive identities and the critical mass to support social, physical and environmental infrastructure and provide employment opportunities. For these new neighbourhoods to be successful, it is essential that they become places where people choose to live and work. A coordinated approach to their development is essential. 3.43 Plans for these areas, which may include strategic framework documents such as SPG, site specific DPD policies and proposals for Borough level SPD as appropriate should take particular account of: • The relationships between the pattern and scale of development and movement within the site, with adjacent areas, and connections with the wider transport network. The highest development densities and most varied mixes of uses should be located where there is the highest public transport accessibility. Planning from the outset for desire line based permeability for pedestrians and cyclists and minimising car dependence will be particularly important • other linkages with neighbouring areas so that the new development is designed to be firmly embedded within the wider community. This will require close coordination with service providers as well as existing community organisations • social infrastructure provision (see Policies 3.16–3.19) with particular attention being paid to access to health, education and other essential services, appropriately phased and coordinated with provision in neighbouring areas so that the development is attractive from the outset as well as being fully sustainable when completed, and takes account of Lifetime Neighbourhood criteria and inclusive design principles (Policies 7.1 and 7.2) • the opportunities large scale development provide for decentralised energy generation and provision, sustainable design and construction and coordinated neighbourhood management, especially in securing and maintaining a high quality public realm, safety measures, planting and open space and play provision. POLICY 3.8 HOUSING CHOICE Strategic A Londoners should have a genuine choice of homes that they can afford and which meet their requirements for different sizes and types of dwellings in the highest quality environments. LDF preparation and planning decisions B Taking account of housing requirements identified at regional, subregional and local levels, boroughs should work with the Mayor and local communities to identify the range of needs likely to arise within their areas and ensure that: a new developments offer a range of housing choices, in terms of the mix of housing sizes and types, taking account of the housing requirements of different groups and the changing roles of different sectors, including the private rented sector, in meeting these b provision of affordable family housing is addressed as a strategic priority in LDF policies Page 83 of 310
