The #London Plan, produced by the Mayor every five years, is a strategic blueprint for the city's development, looking ahead to 2050. The new plan seeks to boost affordable housing, even considering parts of the green belt, while expanding genuinely green spaces. The consultation runs from 9 May to 22 June 2025 and invites public input.
Key priorities include aligning higher housing densities with improved #transport connectivity. A new #TfL metric will complement PTAL to better assess access by sustainable modes. Enhancing existing infrastructure—like converting National Rail lines to Metro-style services—could support mid-rise housing and unlock new sites. Major schemes like the Bakerloo line extension and the West London Orbital aim to boost capacity, though Crossrail 2 may be delayed beyond 2040.
Sustainable travel, reduced car use, and better access are vital to support growth, address inequality, and improve quality of life across London.
