This Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) provides information about progress being made in implementing the policies and addressing the objectives of the London Plan by showing how London is performing against 24 indicators identified in Chapter 8 of the Plan. Although this is the twelfth AMR published by the Mayor, it is the fifth using the KPIs introduced in the 2011 London Plan. These have been slightly modified through the 2015 London Plan, However, as the Plan was adopted in March 2015 and key data are covering the year 2014/15, the 2011 indicators are still used in this AMR. ii. Chapter 2 provides greater detail on each of the 24 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and the table below summarises progress against each of these KPIs. The KPIs are not policies; they have been chosen as yardsticks to show the direction of travel in implementing the London Plan, and the extent of change, to help monitor progress and identify areas where policy changes may need to be considered. iii. The London Plan sets six strategic objectives to be delivered by its detailed policies. These are that London should be: • Objective 1- A city that meets the challenges of economic and population growth, • Objective 2- An internationally competitive and successful city, • Objective 3- A city of diverse, strong, secure and accessible neighbourhoods, • Objective 4- A city that delights the senses, • Objective 5- A city that becomes a world leader in improving the environment, • Objective 6- A city where it is easy, safe and convenient for everyone to access jobs, opportunities and facilities. iv. Different KPIs contribute to measuring the performance of the London Plan against these six objectives; • Objective 1 – KPIs 1,2,4,5,6,12,14 • Objective 2 – KPIs 2,7,8,9,10,12,17,24 • Objective 3 – KPIs 2,5,10,11,12,15 • Objective 4 – KPIs 1,3,15,19,22,23,24 • Objective 5 – KPIs 1,3,18,19,20,21,22,23 • Objective 6 – KPIs 1,13,14,15,16,17 v. Overall, the performance is positive: 17 KPI targets are met or heading in the right direction. For KPIs 16 (water transport), KPI 23 (river restoration) and KPI 24 (heritage assets) uncertain/mixed trends have turned into clearly positive trends, and for KPI 18 (nature conservation) negative has changed to positive performance. Six KPI targets, however, have not been met or are heading the wrong way. For KPIs 14 (car traffic) and 21 (renewables) positive has turned to negative performance. For one KPI target (KPI 22 – green roofs) we have no new AnnuAl monitoring report 12 (2014/15) data. Table 1.1 of the attached AMR (within the Executive Summary) provides an overview of the performance of all KPIs. The performance against the individual London Plan Objectives is summarised as follows: Objective 1- A city that meets the challenges of economic and population growth vi. A very high and above target proportion of new residential developments in London have been built on previously developed land in the last year, and densities within the density matrix range have fallen slightly again from the previous year. In total 31,900 dwellings were completed in 2014/15 (excluding vacants returning to use). This meets the 2011 London Plan target. The gap in life expectancy between the most and least deprived Londoners continues to decrease. Objective 2 - An internationally competitive and successful city vii. London’s employment rate (over 71%) has reached its highest annual average level since records began in 1992, almost closing the gap with that for the country as a whole. Office starts have increased substantially on the previous year and the office pipeline remains above the benchmark. The proportion of all B1 development in locations with high public transport accessibility has risen by another 6% and is well above its benchmark. The rate of loss of industrial land is significantly higher than in the previous two years and is more than 2.5 times above its monitoring benchmark. This trend will be monitored particularly closely. Objective 3- A city of diverse, strong, secure and accessible neighbourhoods viii. Employment specifically in Outer London has increased by 4.5% on the previous year. Lone parent income support in London is now lower than in England and Wales as a whole. The pupil/ teacher ratio in London as a whole remains stable, with more boroughs seeing a reduction than in the previous year. Net affordable housing completions (25% of conventional completions in 2014) are well below the new numeric target with the three-year average affordable homes share down by 6% on the previous year. Objective 4- A city that delights the senses ix. The proportion of designated heritage assets at risk has decreased slightly. The 2015 river restoration target has been achieved with 2.5 km restored last year alone. Significantly more designated open space (30 ha) has been lost than in the previous year, but it should be noted that over 27 ha of this accounts for one former hospital site (the remaining 3 ha is much less than in the previous year), and the creation of new open space is not recorded. In terms of cycling, last year has seen the highest increase in mode share since 2005, although it is still substantially below the 2026 target. Objective 5- A city that becomes a world leader in improving the environment x. Waste recycling rates are stable above 30% and landfilling continues to fall. 9 Development proposals suggest improved performance when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, with estimated CO2 savings increasing on previous years. There has also been an increase in wind/wave and photovoltaic energy generation, but the estimated total renewable energy production is well below its target. No new data are available for green roofs in the CAZ. There has been a loss of just 2 ha of protected habitat in terms of development approvals, substantially down on the previous year’s figure of 15 ha. Objective 6- A city where it is easy, safe and convenient for everyone to access jobs, opportunities and facilities xi. Public transport use continues to grow annually, while private car use continues to decline. The proportion of B1 development in locations with high public transport accessibility has risen by another 6% and is well above its benchmark. However, road traffic volumes across the whole of London and in particular in Outer London are rising. In terms of the use of London’s waterways, passenger transport on the Thames is up by almost 20% and freight transport is up by a further 8% on the considerable increase in the previous year.

  • First Concept Designs Released for London Centre for Music Project As Next Steps Announced
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release: 21 January 2019 FIRST CONCEPT DESIGNS RELEASED FOR LONDON CENTRE FOR MUSIC PROJECT AS NEXT STEPS ANNOUNCED Images, animation and film available for download from: https://bit.ly/2QX8SVN The Barbican, London Symphony Orchestra and Guildhall School of Music & Drama have today released the first concept designs for their project to create a world class Centre for Music in London, as part of a progress update on their plans for the proposed new building. This update follows the recent news that the City of London Corporation has backed the next phase of work by providing £2.49 million for the three partners to undertake further design development, and to progress fundraising, business modelling and capital funding plans. The Centre for Music would be a world-class venue for performance and education across all musical genres, harnessing the power of three internationally recognised cultural organisations - the Barbican, LSO and Guildhall School - to inspire a new generation with a love of music. The Centre would include a world class concert hall and superb spaces for performance, education and rehearsal. It would, above all, be a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the joy of making-music first hand. The concept designs, developed by lead architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, demonstrate the potential to deliver this landmark new building on the current Museum of London site. Elizabeth Diller, Founding Partner, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, said: “We want to unlock the urban potential of the Centre for Music's site at the southern tip of the Barbican by reclaiming the roundabout for the public realm, where the car’s isolating effects are keenly felt today.

The heart of the complex is a large artistic and cultural center. The rest is occupied by residential buildings of different types, configurations and volumes; all this surrounds a large central void with carefully designed gardens and ponds, generating an exquisite spatial quality. The monumental scale of the building and public spaces combines perfectly with the domestic sphere, through elevated access walkways that are more like pedestrian streets than simple distribution corridors. The urban quality of the whole is remarkable and much appreciated by Londoners, contrasting sharply with other examples from the same period that have suffered a slow decline. The characteristic appearance of the concrete used for the Barbican is the result of a careful choice of sands and aggregates, and an extremely complex and precise final treatment, in which the craftsmen first exposed the aggregate and then manually brushed the surface to obtain the desired shine and color.

  • BA Response to Barbican and Golden Lane Area Strategy
    Response from Barbican Association to Barbican and Golden Lane Area Strategy SUMMARY We welcome the intention to improve the area around the Barbican and Golden Lane estates. We appreciate the emphasis on maintaining the tranquillity and residential amenity of the Barbican Estate. Residents accept that the area is likely to get busier. What we are keen to preserve is the tranquillity that respondents of all types recognise in the area. For residents what matters in particular (and which has existed since the estate was built) is quietness from the middle evening on into the night and during most of the weekend. We understand the desire of the cultural institutions for more visibility and accessibility and support that where it will not interfere with residential amenity. Our detailed responses to the many proposals in this strategy are outlined in this document. We highlight three in particular and make four further general points. 1 We strongly support the creation of a way finding and signage review and strategy and would give it the highest priority. Done well and sensitively, a way finding strategy that includes the wider area (including stations) and the cultural institutions themselves could go a considerable way to solving some of the other problems at considerably less cost. 2 We strongly oppose the insertion of an additional bridge across the lake. This would ruin one of the iconic vistas of the Barbican estate and would damage the tranquillity that is appreciated by residents and visitors alike. It would also radically change the nature of the estate, and not protect residential amenity.

  • Call for Entries from Architects, Designers and Artists to Improve Culture Mile’S Pedestrian Experience Along Its North-South Route
    Call for entries from architects, designers and artists to improve Culture Mile’s pedestrian experience along its North-South route The City of London Corporation is delighted to announce a call for entries to improve wayfinding, walkability and the pedestrian experience along Culture Mile’s ‘North-South route’ between the Millennium Bridge and Barbican. The City of London Corporation is seeking an innovative design concept and proposal for the ‘Culture Mile North-South Route’, between the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Aldersgate Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, to be included as part of the Culture Mile 2019-2020 public programme. The City is looking for inspiring designs that will improve the wayfinding, walkability, appearance and vitality of this key thoroughfare, which links the Southbank to the Culture Mile area. This busy route incorporates entrances to several landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Barbican estate. It includes the Barbican and St Paul’s underground stations, which collectively provide over 28 million passenger entrances/exits annually. We are inviting architects, designers and artists to submit a concept design that will elevate and enhance the look and feel of this area, providing visual cues, increased wayfinding and a deeper sense of connection between St Paul’s and Barbican underground stations. Following the shortlist of entries in July, the winning team will be revealed and commissioned to develop a fully costed, feasible design that can be installed in a section of the route, subject to planning permission and other relevant City authorisations. The design will remain in situ between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020.
