Sub Regional Development Framework - East London

The East London Sub Regional Development Framework (SRDF) covers an area which is already home to 2 million Londoners. Compared to the London average it has a distinct, younger age profile, a tendency towards larger households, a high degree of social mobility and strong polarisation in wealth distribution, with pockets of considerable affluence as well as 3 of the 10 most deprived authorities in the country.

It contains a significant proportion of London's global financial and business services, centred on the City and Canary Wharf and, for the future, Stratford. As a national regeneration priority it has significant capacity for new jobs and homes. Several of its Opportunity Areas and Intensification Areas are of international importance, including the Lower Lea Valley at the heart of Britain's 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Greenwich Peninsula and riverside with its World Heritage site and Millennium Dome.

The East London SRDF brings together a wide range of information about the sub-region and makes many suggestions to boroughs and others on the issues that should be addressed in implementing the London Plan.
