Last December the Mayor announced that he would undertake a complete review of the London Plan (the spatial plan for London) and outlined his ideas in the document entitled Planning for a Better London. The HBF responded to this, welcoming some aspects, but expressing concern over others. The Mayor has now published his initial proposals for the review, and this will form the basis of a formal consultation with the London Assembly and the Greater London Authority functional bodies, and subsequently with the public.
