The GLA The Greater London Authority (GLA) was established in 2000. It covers the 32 London boroughs and the City of London. It is made up of a directly elected Mayor (the Executive) and a separately elected Assembly (to scrutinise the Mayor). The GLA is a new kind of public authority, designed to provide citywide, strategic government for London. Its principal purposes are to promote the economic and social development and the environmental improvement of Greater London. The London Plan – what is it for? The Mayor is responsible for strategic planning in London. He has a wide range of duties and powers. The government has set out guidance and advice on the Mayor’s planning duties and powersi. His duties include producing a Spatial Development Strategy for London – called the London Plan – and keeping it under review. The London Plan replaces government’s strategic guidanceii, and boroughs’ development plan documents must be in ‘general conformity’ with it. The Greater London Authority (GLA) Act 1999 requires that the London Plan deals only with matters that are of strategic importance to Greater London. The GLA Act also requires that the London Plan takes account of three crosscutting themes: • the health of Londoners • equality of opportunity • its contribution to sustainable development in the UK. The London Plan: • is the strategic plan setting out an integrated social, economic and environmental framework for the future development of London, looking forward 15–20 years • integrates the physical and geographic dimensions of the Mayor’s other strategies, including broad locations for change and providing a framework for land use management and development, which is strongly linked to improvements in infrastructure, especially transport • provides the Londonwide context within which individual boroughs must set their local planning policies • sets the policy framework for the Mayor’s involvement in major planning decisions in London • sets out proposals for implementation and funding • is London’s response to European guidance on spatial planning and a link to European Structural Funds. viii Mayor of London The London Plan The London Plan enables a strategic approach to be taken to the key issues facing London. It: • provides a clear framework within which all of the stakeholders in London’s future can plan their own activities to best effect • enables Londoners to participate in shaping the future of their city – mostly at the sub-regional level • ensures that policies are coherent and integrated, across issues and between places • sends a strong message to the world that London has a vibrant and confident view of its future. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, section 38, bestows development plan status on the London Plan. Under the plan-led system, this means that the determination of planning applications must be made in accordance with the London Plan and the relevant Development Plan Documents (DPDs) unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The role of the London Plan The Mayor is required by law to produce other strategies for London. Each must be consistent with the others and the London Plan acts as the integrating framework for all. Each must take on board national policies and international obligations. These strategies are: Agenda for Action on Alcohol, Air Quality*, Alcohol and Drugs, Ambient Noise*, Animal Welfare, Anti-social Behaviour, Biodiversity*, Business Waste, Childcare, Children and Young People, Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy*, Cocaine, Culture*, Domestic Violence, Economic Development*, E-government, Energy, Food, Health Inequalities, Housing, Municipal Waste*, Older People, Refugees, Rough Sleepers, Skills, Tourism, Transport*, Water and a Tree & Woodland Framework (those strategies marked * are statutory requirements). The London Plan is required to take account of the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) and other EU directivesiii. The ESDP sets a framework for the planning system to operate in the wider European context and supports the principle of sustainable development and the creation of balanced urban systems. It is a statutory requirement that alterations to the London Plan undergo a ‘sustainability appraisal’. The Mayor also has a statutory duty to promote equality of opportunity in London and will ensure that the proposals and policies in the London Plan are implemented with due regard to the The London Plan Mayor of London ix Race Relations Amendment Act 2000, the Disability Discrimination Acts 1995 and 2005 and other relevant government policy advice. The London Plan has accordingly been formulated having had regard to the matters specified in sections 41 and 342 (1)(a) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 and Regulation 6(1) of the Town and Country Planning (London Spatial Development Strategy) Regulations 2000, to all relevant EU directives and UK legislation, and to Government advice and regional planning guidance.

  • Air Quality Action Plan Consultation Report
    London Borough of Newham Air Quality Action Plan Consultation Report Submitted by: London Borough of Newham Alice Billings House 2-12 West Ham Lane Stratford London E15 4SF Contact: Robin Whitehouse (LEHO) – 020 8430 3792 [email protected] Submission date of Report: 28th March 2003 Overview Under the National Air Quality Strategy (NAQS), Newham Council is required to assess the air quality within the borough. The NAQS provides objectives and target dates for various pollutants, which the council must achieve. Where it is unlikely that these objectives will be met the council must declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). Under section 84(2) of the Environment Act 1995, where an AQMA is declared Newham Council must agree an Action Plan to work towards the objectives given. Newham Council has been reviewing its air quality since 1998 and has just completed stage IV of this review and assessment process. Stage III identified that Newham Council will not meet the objectives for PM10 (24hr rolling mean) and nitrogen dioxide (annual average) and so the council declared an AQMA in March 2002. As road traffic is the primary source of pollution, the AQMA falls along major roads in the borough. Government Guidelines (2000) state that air quality action plans (AQAP) should be in place 12 to18 months following an AQMA designation. This Action Plan has been produced using guidance from the National Society for Clean Air and Environment (NSCA), the London Mayors Air Quality Strategy (MAQS) and the Action Plan Appraisal checklist developed by Casella-Stanger (acting on behalf of DEFRA).

  • Em & LO Reduced
    Lee Valley Golf Course Lee Valley Leisure Complex Meridian Way, Enfield, N9 0AS Expressions of Interest Introduction The Lee Valley Regional Park Authority owns and manages an 18 hole municipal golf course at the Lee Valley Leisure Complex, Picketts Lock, Edmonton. Over the years, significant investment has been made in the course, placing it in good condition. Similar investment is now required in the built facilities for players and visitors. Until this is made, it is believed the course will continue to require subsidy. Accordingly, the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority seeks expressions of interest from experienced organisations and/or individuals interested in taking responsibility for this golf course and associated land on either a management contract until the Park Authority is in a position to oversee the construction of player accommodation or for an investor to enter into a lease and undertake the construction of the facilities with the management of the course thereafter. The length of lease will be proportionate to the level of investment that is intended to be made. To this end, the Park Authority would welcome ideas and proposals for the running and management of the course. Expressions of interest are therefore sought by the Park Authority on the basis that individual operators prefer, from an annual management agreement, to a short term lease reflecting minimal investment, through to a long term lease to cover the building of substantial facilities. Location The Lee Valley Leisure Complex is situated in the London Borough of Enfield, approx. 5 miles south of Junction 25 of the M25 and 1 mile north of the North Circular Road (A406) at Edmonton.
