A significant proportion of the capital's workforce lives outside London and commutes in daily. The Assembly's scrutiny of the emerging London Plan to date has found that the Plan needs to give this key issue more prominence. Drawing on advice from witnesses to our scrutiny committee meetings, our report sketches out the main dimensions of the relationships between London and its two regional partners – population, households and housing, employment and labour markets, transport and commuting – and focuses on the administrative arrangements for co-ordinating planning across the Greater South East. Our report offers a number of positive suggestions for how the role of the co-ordinating body – the Advisory Forum on Regional Planning for London, the South East and the East of England – could be strengthened to address more effectively any inter-regional discrepancies in provision for housing, employment and transport over the coming years.
