Shape the capital’s future with BusinessLDN: Our London Plan Programme

The London Plan is the spatial development strategy for Greater London, setting out the framework for how the city will develop over the next 20 years and the Mayor’s vision for good growth.

Against the backdrop of a central Government target of 88,000 new homes and the recently published Growth Plan, the current London Plan review offers a unique opportunity to influence the key policies that will chart the future of the city’s built environment.

Throughout the consultation phase, from the publication of Towards a new London Plan in May 2025 to the publication of a revised London Plan in 2028, BusinessLDN will be at the heart of the consultation process, working with and for business: collaborating with the GLA, convening our members, sharing exclusive insights, and enabling the voice of the business community to be heard.
