Overall approach to sub-regional development policies

The Mayor has published Sub Regional Development Frameworks (SRDFs) for each of the London Plan (2004) sub-regions, following extensive discussions with stakeholders. They have shown that there should be sufficient land in each sub-region to accommodate the anticipated rates of development. However, the demand from housing and education and from the need for greater self-sufficiency in waste will be very considerable.

Any substantial development will need to address the housing, employment, transport, environmental, climate change, health and education impacts and this will be facilitated by co-operation between the relevant agencies.

The SRDFs/SRIFs also explore means of achieving more intensive use of land. They include more specific guidance on the Opportunity and Regeneration Areas and Areas for Intensification.
