City Hall’s 288-page draft London Plan sets out sweeping changes to density rules, green belt release and tall building policy. Here’s a break-down of what the proposed policies could mean for development across the capital

With all the drama of recent weeks in Westminster, you could almost be forgiven for missing the big news from the Royal Docks on the other side of the capital. 

City Hall published its draft London Plan, a long-awaited document that sets the tone for future development in the city. Some big moves captured the headlines - a new tiered system of affordability thresholds, a 558,000-home target for 2037, and the release of big chunks of green belt land. But these are just a few details among many in a long and detailed document.

Architects, developers and planners will no doubt be poring over the document’s 288 pages as they work up their submissions for the consultation, which runs to 15 October. In the meantime, Building has done its own deep-dive to explore what the proposed policies could mean for development in the coming years.
