Make the London Plan Fit for the People of London

Leading barrister Mark Willers QC of Garden Court Chambers has given me his opinion that there are grounds to challenge The London Plan on the basis that its policies with respect to the protection of heritage assets are inconsistent with national policies.

We must also insist that the plan is changed because:

it removes protections for existing green spaces
it will harm protected habitats and species, according to opinions from experts
No environmental or habitats assessment has taken place of the effect on the local community, open spaces, or wildlife of housing growth in Kingston-upon-Thames of at least 964 units a year and possibly double that number

The London Plan is about to be published. It will set out policies for massive development, including huge targets for housing and offices, in neighbourhoods across London. We must be ready to challenge it immediately
