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. Community Growth Land Uses

On December 17, 2024 Council approved a Land Needs Assessment (for Community Growth land uses) and directed an expansion of the current Urban Growth Boundary to designate more lands for urban land uses.

Council approved two Urban Growth Boundary review scenarios for the Community Growth lands:

1. Approximately 1,476 hectares of developable land or

2. Pending confirmation from the province, up to 2,000 hectares of developable land

Evaluation criteria for properties to be considered were included within the December report to Council.

Interested in having your property evaluated?

Landowners that are interested in having their property evaluated for potential inclusion within the expanded Urban Growth Boundary are invited to make a request to City staff to have their property evaluated as a candidate site.

Deadline: Submit requests for lands to be evaluated by February 3, 2025

Send requests to: tmacbeth@london.ca

Requests must include the following:

• Landowner name and/or company name
• Email address (or addresses) for contacts
• Municipal street address of property or properties to be evaluated

No detailed background studies (i.e. servicing or ecology) are required to be submitted with the request. However, such studies and information can be submitted at the landowner’s discretion.

A future report to the Planning and Environment Committee will provide the results of site evaluations and include recommendations on which properties to add to the Urban Growth Boundary for Community Growth land uses. Landowners making requests for properties to be evaluated will be provided notice of forthcoming meetings.

2. Industrial Land Uses

The Industrial Land Needs study and Industrial Urban Growth Boundary review are being undertaken separately and will have a separate landowner request deadline and separate evaluation criteria.

Further information will posted when it becomes available.
