The Planning and Regeneration Committee
monitors the Mayor's strategic planning and regeneration functions
and his planning and spending decisions.
The Greater London Authority Act 1999
places responsibility for strategic planning in London on the
Mayor, who is required to produce a Spatial Development Strategy
for London (the London Plan), and to keep it under
review. The London Plan sets out an integrated social,
economic and environmental framework for the future development of
London, looking forward 15–20 years and provides the
London-wide context within which individual boroughs must set their
local planning policies.
The Planning and Regeneration Committee
monitors and comments on the revision of the Plan, the Mayor's
detailed planning guidance, and his decisions on strategic planning
applications.
The Planning and Regeneration Committee
also provide lead oversight for the London Assembly of the
policies, decisions and actions of any Mayoral Development
Corporations. These currently include the London Legacy Development
Corporation and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development
Corporation.
