The London Assembly Planning and Regeneration Committee has written to the Mayor in response to the 'Towards a New London Plan' document, published in May 2025.

The recommendations are: 

  • The GLA should set out how ‘brownfield first’ would work in practice.
  • The GLA should set out its assessment criteria for the Green Belt review and provide timescales for its completion.
  • The GLA should set out how Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) will be protected, if it is decoupled from the protections of Green Belt.
  • The next London Plan should support the creation of localised action plans and bespoke opportunity area planning frameworks. The GLA should facilitate cross-boundary discussions to improve the planning process.
  • The GLA should evaluate its policy for affordable workspace in the current London Plan and identify how a new policy could incubate and protect long-standing businesses that deliver high social value.
