The mayor of London has responded angrily to developers who last week voted his draft London plan as being "undeliverable" because of its over-reliance on private sector investment in areas such as housing.
Ken Livingstone defended the plan in a written statement to an independent panel that has been appointed to publicly scrutinise the plan for the capital until 2016.

He said: "[It] is based on robust assumptions about growth and [as a result] the phasing of development can be managed [showing] that the plan is sustainable."
