This meeting took place on 29 June 2016. Read the transcript here.
London’s previous Mayor indicated that the current London Plan[1] is in need of major review and replacement to reflect the challenges posed by London’s record growth.
It is now the responsibility of the new Mayor’s team to alter the Plan, ensuring it not only reflects national policy trends but is based on evidence based analysis.
The London Assembly Planning Committee will tomorrow examine how the Mayor expects to revise the Plan to reflect London’s growth; and to what extent he will incorporate his own housing, employment and infrastructure policy priorities within it.
The guests are:
- James Murray, Deputy Mayor for Housing;
- John Lett, Strategic Planning Manager, London Plan Team, GLA;
- Liz Peace CBE, Adviser on Property, Politics and the Built Environment;
- Tony Pidgley CBE, Chairman of the Berkeley Group plc,
- Simon Powell, Assistant Director – Strategic Projects and Property, Housing and Land, GLA; and
- Jeremy Skinner, Senior Manager - Growth & Enterprise, GLA.
The meeting will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 29 June from 10:00am in The Chamber, City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend. The meeting can also be viewed via webcast.
