Our Response to the New London Plan
In summer 2025, the Greater London Authority launched 'Towards a new London Plan'. This consultation document sets a pathway towards a new strategic plan covering the whole of London. It highlights the unprecedented challenge of planning to deliver 880,000 homes in a ten-year period.
Historic England considers the London Plan 2021 to be a strong foundation on which to build the next plan: pursuing Good Growth through a contextual approach to development.
We believe that bold and creative approaches will be needed to achieve growth in a way that retains the best of London, respects the character and identity of neighbourhoods, and responds to the twin challenges of climate change and nature recovery. We recognise the importance of getting this right for Londoners.
We therefore responded to the Mayor’s consultation. Our full response can be downloaded below:
