6 May 2025: For more than a year the GLA (Mayor of London) has been refusing to start the public processes which would lead to the next London Plan. We protested to no avail.

Now, however, the Mayor of London begins a 6-week consultation on ‘Towards a new London Plan’ from Friday 9th May.

This follows hard on the heels of the Mayor’s depressing ‘build, build, build’ policy sketched out in his London Growth Plan (published in February with minimal consultation) and his appearance at MIPIM in March, the developer’s trade fair in Cannes – where he was seeking ‘investment partners’ for £22bn of projects on public land and estates.

Just Space is hosting a network meeting shortly to prepare our response to the proposals. If you are a member or active supporter you should have an invitation. If one does not arrive, please get in touch.

We also hope to hold a conference in June to develop our response – an alternative vision for a Caring City.

More details to follow, but in the meantime, you can access the London Growth Plan  – and our critical guide to what it contains.
