Policy 8.4 Monitoring and review
Policy
Strategic
A The implementation of the London Plan will be kept under review using the Key Performance Indicators set out in Table 8.2 and reported in the Annual Monitoring Report.
B The Mayor produces an Implementation Plan which includes a range of strategic actions that the Mayor, boroughs and key stakeholders across the public, private, voluntary and community sectors will deliver to ensure the implementation of this Plan. The Implementation Plan is produced separately, but clear links between implementation actions and policies in the London Plan are included and it will be updated regularly.
C The London Plan will be reviewed regularly to reflect trends identified in the Annual Monitoring Report and any other relevant changes to London’s situation.

8.18 It is important to retain a succinct set of indicators and targets against which to monitor the Plan so that it is easy for everyone with an interest to assess the extent to which the objectives and policies in this Plan are being successfully implemented and to understand the key trends. These have to be deliverable within the resources available and capable of maintaining a high level of consistency with previous monitoring in order to generate a meaningful time series of data. The target for each indicator should be regarded as a benchmark showing the direction and scale of change. These targets contribute to measuring the performance of the objectives of this Plan but do not represent themselves additional policy.
8.19 The monitoring regime of the previous London Plan was based on 28 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). It has been recognised that some of these were ineffective. However, it is also important to retain useful KPIs as the real value of monitoring is in building up a time series of performance, which will assist in identifying trends and creating suitable policy responses. The new set of 24 KPIs is listed in Table 8.2. These will be monitored in the Annual Monitoring Report, to be published each February.
Implementation Plan
8.20 A key aspect of this London Plan is the introduction of an Implementation Plan. At its centre is a range of strategic and tangible implementation actions for the GLA Group, partner organisations and delivery agencies covering all policy areas. The implementation actions support and facilitate the implementation of the Plan’s policies. For each implementation action, information about responsible delivery bodies, a timescale for delivery and a degree of certainty/ commitment are provided. The Implementation Plan also addresses more specifically the strategic infrastructure that is required to support the growth set out in the Plan. It is published as a separate document to the London Plan and will be monitored with progress reported regularly. There are clear links to the policies the identified implementation actions are supporting.
