Comprehensive Review of The London Plan

The City of London is undertaking a Comprehensive Review of The London Plan, which will include a land need review and a policy review of The London Plan.

Some of the questions the Comprehensive Review is expected to ask are:

• Is there enough land available to meet the City’s growing population and its need for housing and employment?
  • Is there enough land designated for housing and other urban land uses?
    
    
• How much of new development should be targeted to grow “inward and upward” versus “outward” (i.e. redevelopment and infill versus “greenfield” vacant land)?
  • Is the City’s current intensification target of 45% reflective of the goals and directions for future growth of our city?
    
    
• Should the City’s time horizon for The London Plan continue to be 20 years or be increased to up to 25 years?
  
  
• Is there enough Industrial-designated land to meet expected growth in employment, and are the Industrial lands in the right locations?

The result of the land need review may be a review of the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The need for a UGB review will be based on the findings of the Comprehensive Review’s Land Needs Assessment.

Note: the UGB delineates lands planned for urban uses from lands planned for agriculture or other rural uses.

The UGB is shown on Map 1 – Place Types of The London Plan.
