We acknowledge that publication of this document marks a significant step and note that the policy content is consistent with the suite of other Mayoral strategies on which you have already consulted. The Draft London Plan has been discussed in a workshop with elected Members from Barnet’s Planning Committees and Local Plan Working Group, and the response was authorised in draft at a meeting of our Policy and Resources Committee on 13th February. Detailed comments on individual draft policies are provided in Appendix A. Duty to cooperate and the overarching policy direction This letter highlights specific policy concerns on the Draft London Plan, as well as the evidence that sits behind it. Our response sets out a willingness to work with the London Plan team to resolve concerns prior to the Examination in Public. The London Plan together with the Local Plan forms part of our development plan and we recognise it must be taken account of in any planning decisions.
