This new London Plan marks a break with previous London Plans, represents a step-change in the mayor’s approach and serves as a blueprint for the future development and sustainable, inclusive growth of our city. Over many decades, London has evolved, resulting in an extraordinary web of distinctive residential streets, squares, markets, parks, offices, and industrial and creative spaces.
This is a new London Plan and commonly known as a Replacement Plan. It is not an alteration or update to previous London Plans. This new London Plan is the third London Plan all previous plans being the 2004 London Plan produced by former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone and the 2011 London Plan produced by former Mayor of London Boris Johnson. The others are repetitions of the London Plan from 2004-2016. It is more importantly that London Plan replaces all previous versions. It is more ambitious and focused than any previous London Plans. The concept of Good Growth means that is socially and economically inclusive and environmentally sustainable and underpins the London Plan with the aimed on sustainable development. The plan is also pursued to deliver the Mayor’s manifesto commitments and strategies as well as achievements of commitments.
