The ‘Towards a new London Plan’ consultation is the first step in shaping the next London Plan – London’s statutory spatial development strategy that guides housing, economic growth, infrastructure, and sustainability across the capital.
This early consultation seeks feedback on key priorities and will inform the draft Plan expected in 2026, with final publication scheduled for 2027. It comes at a time of significant challenge and change, including the Government’s target for London to plan for 88,000 new homes a year. The London Plan review presents a critical opportunity to reshape how the city delivers growth that is inclusive, sustainable, and economically viable.
This briefing note summarises the key themes from the Towards a new London Plan consultation – and analyses the proposals and their implications for London’s future growth.
