London Planning

The London Plan sets out the spatial development strategy for the Greater London area. The London Plan is produced by the Mayor of London and includes policies on key issues such as new homes, workplaces, public transport and open spaces.

The London Plan forms part of the development plan for Wandsworth and is used alongside the Wandsworth Local Plan to guide decision making on planning applications.
