Official Plan Review of The London Plan

The City of London is undertaking an Official Plan Review of The London Plan under Section 26 of the Planning Act.

1. Industrial Land Needs Assessment

The purpose and effect of the Industrial Land Needs Assessment for Employment Areas (ILNA) is to evaluate the existing industrial land supply against projected demand based on growth in population and employment over the life of The London Plan.

The draft Industrial Land Needs Assessment is for continued consultation and a final Industrial Land Needs Assessment will be brought back to a future meeting of Planning and Environment Committee.

The draft Industrial Land Needs Assessment for Employment Areas is consistent with the new Provincial Planning Statement and incorporates feedback from the development industry, community, and Indigenous consultations.

City staff will present the results of the draft ILNA and discuss a potential need for an Industrial UGB Review to accommodate industrial land uses.

2. Community Growth Land Needs Assessment

The residential, institutional, and commercial land needs have been addressed through the Land Needs Assessment for Community Growth, previously adopted by Council on December 17, 2024. Landowner requests have been received as part of the evaluation process, and a finalized UGB expansion recommendation will be presented to Council in forthcoming meetings.

Process updates related to the Official Plan Review will also be presented noting recent correspondence from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and forthcoming phases of the review.

Further information will be posted when it becomes available.
