## Executive Summary

i.	
This Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) provides information about progress being made in implementing the policies and addressing the objectives of the London Plan by showing how London is performing against 24 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) identified in Chapter 8 of the Plan. Although this is the 15th AMR published by the Mayor, it is the third one that monitors the policies introduced in the 2015 London Plan using the slightly modified set of KPI targets introduced through that Plan.
ii.	
Chapter 2 provides greater detail on each of the 24 KPIs, and Table 1.1 summarises progress against each of them. The KPIs are not policies; they have been chosen as yardsticks to show the direction of travel in implementing the London Plan, and the extent of change, to help monitor progress and identify areas where policy changes may need to be considered.
iii.	
The London Plan sets six strategic objectives to be delivered by its detailed policies. These are that London should be: •	Objective 1 - A city that meets the challenges of economic and population 
growth
•	Objective 2 - An internationally competitive and successful city •	Objective 3 - A city of diverse, strong, secure and accessible 
neighbourhoods
•	Objective 4 - A city that delights the senses •	Objective 5 - A city that becomes a world leader in improving the 
environment
•	Objective 6 - A city where it is easy, safe and convenient for everyone to 
access jobs, opportunities and facilities
iv.	
Different KPIs contribute to measuring the performance of the London Plan against these six objectives: •	Objective 1 - KPIs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 14 •	Objective 2 - KPIs 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17, 24 •	Objective 3 - KPIs 2, 5, 10, 11, 12, 15 •	Objective 4 - KPIs 1, 3, 15, 19, 22, 23, 24 •	Objective 5 - KPIs 1, 3, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 •	Objective 6 - KPIs 1, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
v.	
Twelve of the 24 KPI targets have been exceeded, met or are heading in the right direction. Table 1.1 provides an overview of the performance of all KPIs. The performance against the individual London Plan objectives is summarised below.
Objective 1 - A city that meets the challenges of economic and population growth

vi.	
An above-target 99 per cent of new residential developments in London have been built on previously developed land in 2017/18. Net provision of new homes was 32,083, of which 4,703 were affordable. 35 per cent of developments fall within the London Plan density matrix range.
Objective 2 - An internationally competitive and successful city 

vii.	
London's employment rate has continued to rise since 2009 and is now 
over 74 per cent. Over 600,000m2 of office floorspace was started in 
2018, and the office pipeline remains above the benchmark. The rate of loss of industrial land was 73 hectares, 36 hectares above the monitoring benchmark.
Objective 3 - A city of diverse, strong, secure and accessible neighbourhoods

viii.	
The employment rate gap between the BAME and white population stands at 13.2 percentage points, while lone parents claiming income support in London is 1.3 percentage points lower than in England and Wales. Employment in Outer London rose by 2.1 per cent. The average class size in primary schools dropped slightly to 27.3 from 27.5. Net affordable housing completions from planning permissions have been significantly below the numeric target, with the three-year average affordable homes share down by a further 2 percentage points.
Objective 4 - A city that delights the senses 

ix.	
The proportion of designated heritage assets at risk has decreased. Progress has been made against the 2020 river restoration target, with over 60 per cent now achieved. 11 hectares of designated open space was lost last year (some of which was previously developed), down by 2 hectares on the previous year. In terms of cycling, the mode share remained at 2.3 per cent.
Objective 5 - A city that becomes a world leader in improving the environment 

x.	
The proportion of municipal waste going to landfill has fallen again and is now below 10 per cent, but the amount of municipal waste being recycled has decreased slightly since 2016/17. Major planning applications referred to the Mayor achieved an average CO2 emissions reduction of 40.5% beyond that required by Building Regulations. The estimated generation of energy from renewable sources increased by another 3 per cent, but is still well below target. There has been a loss of less than 3 hectares of protected habitat based on development approvals, lower than previous year's figure of 3 hectares.
Objective 6 - A city where it is easy, safe and convenient for everyone to access jobs, opportunities and facilities

xi.	
There was a small drop in public transport usage last year with private transport usage remaining steady. More than 80 per cent of B1 development occurred in locations with high public transport access levels, well above the target. London's waterways saw a decrease in both passenger and freight transport on the Thames in 2017/18 compared to the previous year.

## Chapter 1 - Introduction Scope And Purpose Of The Amr

1.1	
This is the 15th London Plan Annual Monitoring Report (AMR 15). Section 346 of the Greater London Authority (GLA) Act 1999 places a duty on the Mayor to monitor implementation of his Spatial Development Strategy (the London Plan) and collect data about issues relevant to its preparation, review, alteration, replacement or implementation. The AMR is the central document in the monitoring process and in assessing the effectiveness of the London Plan. It is important for keeping the London Plan under review and as evidence for plan preparation.
1.2	
While this is the 15th AMR published by the Mayor of London, it is the eighth that uses the six strategic objectives and the suite of 24 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) introduced in the London Plan published in July 2011. These were slightly modified through the revised Plan published in March 2015. The amended targets are listed below: •	KPI 4 - Target net additional homes figure changed from 32,210 to 42,000 •	KPI 5 - Target net additional affordable homes figure changed from 13,200 
to 17,000
•	KPI 19 - Target date for zero biodegradable and recyclable waste to landfill 
brought forward from 2031 to 2026
•	KPI 21 - Target production figure of 8,550 GWh of energy from renewables 
included
1.3	
The AMR does not attempt to measure and monitor each Plan policy, as this would not recognise the complexity of planning decisions which are based on a range of different policies. It could also be unduly resource intensive and would raise considerable challenges in setting meaningful indicators for which reliable data would be available. However, these indicators together do give a detailed picture of how London is changing, and of the significant contribution the planning system is making to meeting these changes.
1.4	
Although the KPIs form the core of the AMR, it should be recognised that a wide range of factors outside the sphere of influence of the London Plan influence the KPIs. The inclusion of additional relevant performance measures and statistics helps to paint a broader picture of London's performance (see chapter 3).
1.5	
Paragraph 8.18 of the London Plan clarifies that the target for each indicator should be regarded as a benchmark, showing the direction and scale of change. These targets contribute to measuring the performance of the 
objectives set out in Policy 1.1 and paragraph 1.53 of the London Plan but do not represent additional policy in themselves.

1.6	
Whilst recognising longer-term trends where available, the focus of the monitoring in this AMR is on the year 2017/18.
1.7	
This report draws on a range of data sources, but the GLA's London Development Database (LDD) is of central importance (see further details about LDD in the following section). The LDD is a "live" system monitoring planning permissions and completions. It provides good quality, comprehensive data for the GLA, London boroughs and others involved in planning for London. In addition to the LDD, this report draws on details provided by the GLA's Intelligence Unit, the GLA's Transport and Environment Teams, the GLA's Housing and Land, Transport for London (TfL), Historic England, the Environment Agency and the Port of London Authority.
1.8	
To make this document more readable, some of the tables have been shortened, for example time series have been limited or existing and proposed data have been excluded when net totals are shown. The full data tables are available to download from the London Datastore.

## The London Development Database

1.9	
The London Development Database Automation project aims to replace the existing Development Database, providing a more comprehensive, up to date, and accurate dataset that will transform the way people view what's being built in their area and across London.
1.10	
As well as changing the LDD itself, we are also changing the way applications are submitted through the planning portal. This is to ensure the additional information is captured up front and can therefore be passed to our systems automatically, reducing the burden on London boroughs to provide this information manually. We are currently working towards a go-live date in early 2020.
1.11	
In the meantime, the current LDD system is still running. The following resources are available: •	Lists of planning permissions can be downloaded from the London 
Datastore 
•	Planning permissions can be viewed on a map on the Mayor's website •	An SQL extract of the entire database is also available to download

## Chapter 2 - Performance Against Key Performance Indicator Targets

# 2

2

Maximise the proportion of development taking place on previously developed land Target: Maintain at least 96% of new residential development to be on previously developed land

2.1	
This KPI looks at the proportion of residential planning permissions granted on previously developed land. The figures in Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 are shown both by number of units and by site area, although the proportion by number of units is the key measure. The percentages are arrived at by looking for a net loss of greenfield open space on the permission. The area of greenfield land that is lost is then deducted from the proposed residential site area to produce a percentage that is applied to the proposed units. Where both residential and non-residential uses are proposed, the greenfield area is divided proportionately between the two uses.
2.2	
99 per cent of units approved during 2017/18 were on brownfield land, 3 percentage points above the 96 per cent target.

## Key Performance Indicator 2 Optimise The Density Of Residential Development

Target: Over 95% of development to comply with the housing density location and the density matrix (London Plan Table 3.2)

2.3	
Table 2.3 and Table 2.4 compare the residential density achieved for each scheme against the density range set out in the Sustainable Residential Quality (SRQ) matrix in the London Plan, taking into account both the site's Public Transport Access Level (PTAL) and its setting as defined in the 2013 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment. All units in residential approvals, for which a site area could be calculated, are included. Density is calculated by dividing the total number of units (gross) by the residential site area. In mixed use schemes, the area allocated to non-residential uses and to open space is subtracted from the total site area to give the residential site area. The percentages are based on total units rather than schemes. The same PTAL is calculated for all units on a site within a permission based on the location provided for the scheme as a whole. This will usually be towards the centre of the site.
2.4	
For approvals, compliance during 2017/18 has decreased to 35 per cent. For schemes of 15 units or more, 30 per cent of approved units are in schemes within the range set out in the SRQ matrix. This is consistent with reporting in previous AMRs which shows that the majority of approved developments in London have been delivered at densities beyond those recommended in the density matrix for every year since the commencement of the London Plan in 2004 apart from 2012/13. This is indicative of the fact that the density matrix was only meant to be a conceptual and indicative tool of what could be developed on a site.
2.5	
Land in London is a scarce resource. It is important that land is used appropriately and that schemes are designed to suit local circumstances and are deliverable. The new draft London Plan therefore takes a new design-led approach to density, focusing on the importance of design, management and infrastructure capacity, rather than predetermined density ranges to manage the density of residential development in London.

## Key Performance Indicator 3 Minimise The Loss Of Open Space

Target: No net loss of open space designated for protection in Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) due to new development

2.6	
Table 2.5 shows planning approvals in 2017/18 on protected open space, and the amount of protected open space that would be lost if they are implemented. The types of open space protection are: •	Green Belt •	Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) •	Local Open Spaces •	Other Designated Protection (covering any borough specific designations)
These are different from the designations for nature conservation recorded in Key Performance Indicator 18.

2.7	
The potential loss of protected open space approved during 2017/18 was 11.14 hectares, less than the 14 hectares recorded in 2016/17. This includes previously developed open space and includes financing for improvements to existing open space. An area of 3.97 hectares (36 per cent) of this potential development is in the Green Belt, 1.335 hectares (12 per cent) is on MOL and 5.834 hectares (52 per cent) is on open space that has another local designation.
2.8	
The borough that has granted permission for the largest potential loss of open space is Havering (2.68 hectares). Redbridge (1.875 hectares), Bexley (1.47 hectares), Merton (1.2 hectares) and Hounslow (1.09 hectares) have also permitted losses of over a hectare.
2.9	
The biggest single potential recorded loss is for the redevelopment of a 1.6 hectare site currently occupied by derelict agricultural buildings within the Green Belt in Havering (reference P2045.16). In Bexley, permission 17/00577/OUTM permits the construction of 60 residential units on 1.47 hectares of Local Open Space which will help to finance the improvement to the remaining open space, while 15/P4305 permits the construction of 90 residential units on 1.2 hectares of Local Open Space to help finance improvements to the existing residential estate and the remaining open space. The largest non-residential scheme is in Redbridge (reference 4984/16) which permits the construction of a new 1,260 place academy school on 1.115 hectares of existing playing fields.
2.10	
All data for this KPI is extracted from the LDD. The table shows the planning permissions that have been granted for buildings or works that will affect a protected open space. Changes to protected open space are made through the preparation or review of the local plan and are not part of the planning permission process. For this reason gains are only recorded in very exceptional circumstances, although re-provision within a planning permission is considered when calculating the loss.

2.11	
This target comprises three elements: •	conventional completions of self-contained houses and flats •	the non-conventional supply of student bedrooms, care homes and 
non-self-contained accommodation in hostels and houses in multiple occupation
•	long-term empty properties (referred to as 'vacants') returning to use
2.12	
This is the third AMR to monitor the targets introduced in the 2015 London Plan. The first two elements are monitored using LDD data, the third uses Council Tax data published by MHCLG. The components of the target at planning authority level can be found in Annex 4 of the London Plan. The number of long-term vacant properties returning to use is calculated using the government's housing live table 615, by taking the net change in the number of long-term empty properties (longer than six months). The data covers the period to October each year, so does not align to the reporting period in the AMR, but represents the best source of information available.
2.13	
Net conventional completions stand at 31,851, non-conventional completions at 2,476 and there was an increase of 2,244 in the number of long-term vacant properties. The net total of 32,083 represents 76 per cent of the 42,388-target introduced in the 2015 London Plan. 2017/18 therefore sees a return to levels seen prior to the peak years of 2015/16 (40,981) and 2016/17 (44,681).
2.14	
As ever, there is considerable variation between London's planning authorities with 13 exceeding their benchmark for the year. For example, the 1,886 completions in Hammersmith and Fulham represents 183 per cent of their target and the 600 in Sutton is 165 per cent of theirs. By contrast a net figure of 173 is just 6 per cent of the target for Southwark and the City of London records a net loss of 150. The change in the number of long-term vacant properties (vacants) significantly affects the delivery figures for many authorities, with 25 seeing a net loss of supply as a result of an increase in vacants. Southwark saw an increase of 638 vacants make a big dent in their net completions figure, although the total conventional completions of 818 is still only 30 per cent of the benchmark for the year. The City also saw an increase in their vacant properties, but the more significant factor is the net 
loss of 202 non-self-contained rooms for a gain of 74 self-contained units in permission 14/00322/FULMAJ.

2.15	
In numeric terms, the borough with the highest total net completions is Barnet (2,149) followed by Wandsworth (2,051). These are the only two boroughs recording over 2,000 net completions, with a further 11 authorities recording over 1,000.
2.16	
When looking just at conventional completions, both Croydon and Tower Hamlets joined Barnet and Wandsworth in delivering over 2,000 units.
2.17	
There were significant gains in non-self-contained rooms in Brent (1,266), Kingston upon Thames (729) and Waltham Forest (592), primarily in the form of student accommodation. Meanwhile 14 authorities record a loss of nonself-contained units, the biggest loss being in Westminster (-353), followed by the City of London (-202). 
2.18	
The London Plan target figures are the annual expression of long-term benchmarks, and delivery in individual years will vary over the development cycle. It is recognised in paragraph 1.1.37 of the Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) that housing supply has the potential to be 'lumpy' due to the phasing of key sites.
2.19	
Non-conventional bedrooms are considered as one unit when measuring against the London Plan housing targets. The draft London Plan proposes a ratio of 3:1, so three non-self-contained rooms would be equivalent to a single self-contained unit.

An increased supply of affordable homes Target: Completion of 17,000 net additional affordable homes per year

2.20	 This KPI measures the completion of affordable units as granted in planning 
permissions recorded on the London Development Database (LDD). It is a net figure for conventional completions of new homes, with unit losses deducted from the total. The tenure of the completed units is as set out in the s106 legal agreement. It does not attempt to measure acquisitions of units by Housing Associations or transfers of stock post-completion.
2.21	
Table 2.7 shows that during 2017/18 a net total of 4,703 affordable units were completed. This represents a decrease of 2,191 from 2016/17.
2.22	 In percentage terms, the share of affordable housing has fallen from 17 per 
cent to 15 per cent of net housing supply.
2.23	 Net affordable housing output can vary considerably from year to year, 
particularly at a local level so Table 2.7 also shows average affordable housing output as a proportion of overall conventional housing provision over a three-year period. Between 2015/16 and 2017/18 affordable housing output averaged 17 per cent of total provision.
2.24	 Figure 2.1 shows the three-year average performance of individual boroughs 
relative to the London-wide average of 17 per cent. Over the three years, Waltham Forest has reported the highest share of affordable housing with an average of 42 per cent of their delivery being affordable, due in part to the good delivery percentage in 2015/16. In absolute terms, Tower Hamlets have completed the most affordable homes. Their total of 2,616 is almost twice as many as delivered in Greenwich which has the second highest completion figure. Only five authorities (Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth and Barnet) have completed over 1,000 affordable units during this three-year period.
2.25	 The low level of affordable housing in the residential pipeline was noted in 
the previous AMR, so a low level of affordable completions was expected this year. Policies requiring affordable housing do not normally apply to schemes of less than 10 units or to those obtained through permitted development rights, so it is only through major schemes that the pipeline of affordable units can be increased.

## Key Performance Indicator 6 Reducing Health Inequalities

Target: Reduction in the difference in life expectancy between those living in the most and least deprived areas of London (shown separately for men and women)

2.26	 The figures for this KPI target were in the past calculated by the GLA using 
ONS mortality data and ONS mid-year estimates. However, after 2013 ONS stopped publishing the mortality data, meaning life expectancy can no longer be calculated. Alternative data sources are not available. Therefore, this KPI target cannot currently be monitored. 

## Key Performance Indicator 7 Sustaining Economic Activity

Target: Increase in the proportion of working age London residents in employment 2011–2031

2.27	 Table 2.8 shows that during 2018 London saw its employment rate rise 
to 74.3 per cent, up 0.4 of a percentage point on the previous year. The employment rate for both London and the UK has risen year-on-year, following a downturn between 2009 and 2011. This has taken London's employment rate to its highest annual average level since records began in 1992.
2.28	 London has traditionally had an employment rate below the national average, 
however the gap has closed significantly in recent years, and the difference is now only 0.7 of a percentage point.
2.29	 The data in Table 2.8 includes further revisions made by ONS in 2019. The 
data has been re-weighted in line with the latest ONS estimates, which provides more accurate population information than was previously available.

Ensure that there is sufficient development capacity in the office market Target: Stock of office planning permissions should be at least three times the average rate of starts over the previous three years The ratio

2.30	 In this edition of the AMR, we continue to use data from both EGi London 
Offices and the LDD. According to the EGi data, the ratio of planning permissions granted (PPGs) to average three years starts at end-2018 fell to 5.1:1 (Table 2.9). This compares to 2017's ratio of 5.4, reflecting a rise in construction starts and a fall in PPGs during 2018.
2.31	
The ratio rose dramatically in 2009-2011, largely in response to the global financial crisis, when a large number of scheme starts can be assumed to have been delayed. It has since steadily fallen to its current level. In the most recent set of comparable figures for the two databases, for 2017, the ratio of PPGs to starts was 5.4:1 according to EGi and 3.0:1 according to LDD.

2.32	 The LDD ratio has, for the first time in this time series, reached the 
benchmark ratio of 3.0. Having risen sharply in the years immediately following the global financial crisis (mirroring the EGi data), the ratio has fallen steadily since, remaining below 4.0 since 2014. In 2017, there was a rise in starts and a smaller rise in PPGs. If LDD data follow EGi data in 2018, then a reduction in PPGs and a sharp rise in starts should see further downward pressure on the ratio.
2.33	 In order to illustrate the changing relationship between PPGs and starts, 
Figure 2.2 shows the level of starts since just before the global financial crisis, through to 2018. As can be seen, average three year starts fell sharply following the recession. Starts lifted again in 2012, rising for four years, before faltering after the EU referendum. Since then the three-year average has been falling. A distinct fall in PPGs during 2018 reinforced downward pressure on the ratio.
2.34	 Final permissions and starts data from LDD for 2018 are not yet available, 
hence the absence of a ratio for that year. In addition to different handling of starts on some schemes, variation in the ratios can be accounted for by the 
different definitions used in the datasets1. It is known that the EGi database 
provides a more comprehensive coverage than LDD and, in particular, contains a much greater amount of data on the refurbishment market - around 13 per cent of development activity is refurbishment.

## Starts And Permissions

2.35	 Based on EGi data, Figure 2.3 shows that 2018 saw starts of 606,000m2, an 
increase on the starts total of 446,159 m2 in 20172. The 2018 starts figure 
is comfortably above the ten-year average of 530,000m2. When compared to the very long run, it is slightly lower than the 1985-2018 average of 628,000m2. The three-year average for starts over the period 2016-2018 is 628,000m2, lower than the 2017 figure of 706,000m2.
2.36	 Part of the explanation for the rise in starts during 2018 might lie in the 
fact that starts fell sharply in 2017 following the EU Referendum in 2016, reflecting a fall in investor confidence. It might be, therefore, that the 2018 figure represents something of a 'catch-up' phenomenon.
2.37	
Reflecting the rise in starts overall, the number of large schemes starting also increased. While in 2017 there were just seven starts of 20,000m2 or 
1	
EGi data for permissions are based on planning committee decisions which are a precursor to discussion on the content of S106 agreements, whereas LDD waits for a decision letter to be issued which does not happen until the legal agreement has been signed. LDD data has a minimum threshold of 1,000m2 gross, whereas the threshold in EGi data is 500m2 gross. LDD data exclude refurbishments where the existing building is already in office use, These are included by EGi. In addition EGi data for starts are based on observed construction of new or refurbished space, whereas LDD records whether work is started in a legal sense, so can include demolition works as starts where these, in effect, activate the permission. Over the period 2004-2016 LDD office floorspace permissions average approximately 40% of those covered by EGi. The LDD figure provides a useful measure of the store of permissions available to facilitate the immediate responsiveness of developers to changes in demand, whereas the EGi figure gives a broader measure of activity by developers in the office market (accepting that some of the permissions in that dataset may never come to fruition).

more, in 2018 this rose to ten, including: 10 Bank Street, E14 (99,800m2); 21 Moorfields, EC2 (50,400m2), and Battersea Park, SW11 (4,446,800m2). The latter two schemes are pre-leased to Deutsche Bank and Apple Corporation, respectively.

2.38	 Unimplemented office permissions at year end 2017 totalled 3,833,215m2 
according to the EGi data (compared to 3,517,880m2 at the end of 2016). The 2017 figure compares to a ten-year average of 3,780,000m2.
Source: Ramidus Consulting, EGi London Offices 

2.39	 There are 15 outstanding permissions comprising 50,000m2 or more. 
Three of these are in Docklands, at North Quay (222,000m2); Riverside (185,000m2) and 1 Park Place (81,700m2). There is one at King's Cross on York Way (166,600m2); two to the west of the CAZ at Gateway Site, White City (50,500m2) and Warwick Road, Earl's Court (67,800m2); and two on the Southbank, at Kirtling Street, Battersea (73,800M2) and York Road (74,300m2).

Office market overview

2.41	
The Central London market has been operating against the backdrop of Brexit for over two years, with the attendant uncertainty, and projections of job losses in the many tens of thousands. However, with just three months to go before the UK's initial planned exit from the EU, the impact had been slight. A large-scale survey (including 134 of the largest international banks, insurers and asset managers), undertaken by news agency Reuters in September 2018, found that only 630 UK-based finance jobs had moved overseas. Moreover, the same survey found that, even in the event of a 'hard 
Brexit', job losses could be as few as 5,8003.
2.42	
Despite the uncertainties surrounding Brexit, the London office market remained remarkably resilient.

## Development And Vacancy

2.43	 Construction completions across Central London totalled around 320,000m2 
to Q3 in 2018 (down by around one-third from the same point in 2017). Almost half of the approximately 800,000m2 under construction at the year-end was pre-leased. The combination of strong take-up and subdued development activity ensured that vacancy rates remained low in the core markets. Both the City and West End were running at 4.0-4.5 per cent by the close of 2018.
2.44	 The lack of new development beyond the Central Activities Zone (CAZ) 
remains a concern as commercial development and residential development compete for land. As noted in the previous AMR update, there is a particular concern over the impact of Permitted Development Rights and the loss of secondary, affordable space, typically occupied by smaller businesses in those central area fringe locations lying just beyond the CAZ.

## Investment

2.45	 As an expression of market confidence, investment levels have also 
performed well. In 2017, Central London investment amounted to £17.4bn (compared to £12.9bn in 2016). The first three quarters of 2018 saw £12.2bn 
of investment4. In particular, interest from overseas investors has remained strong.

2.46	 Beyond investment in real estate, London continues to attract high levels of 
foreign direct investment (FDI). Figure 2.4 shows that between 15,000 and 25,000 new jobs have been created through FDI in the capital each year since 2011.

## Take-Up

2.47	
Central London office take-up for the whole of 2018 reached 14.6million ft2 (1.35million m2), compared to 13.8million ft2 (1.28million m2) in 2017. The 2018 figure is 14 per cent higher than the long-term average and the highest level since 2014, according to research from property advisor Knight Frank. At the same time, data from JLL also found that take-up within the City of London reached its highest levels in three years, with letting activity in the 
Square Mile reaching 6.5million ft2 (600,000m2) in the past year5.
2.48	 There were nine deals of 10,000 m2 or more in 2018, including Facebook's 
pre-let of 60,000m2 at King's Cross. The flexible space market had another strong year, accounting for around 130,000m2 of take-up (albeit lower than the 210,000m2 taken by the sector in 2017). WeWork alone took approximately 68,000m2 of space (down from 126,000m2 in 2017), taking its total London footprint to over 300,000m2 in 40 buildings. It is now London's largest private sector occupier.
2.49	 The technology, media and telecoms sector continued to grow, accounting 
for around 30 per cent of take-up; while life sciences are showing signs of significant growth in London.

## Summary

2.50	 London's office market has remained resilient despite the uncertainties 
surrounding Brexit. Thus, London's office jobs have been growing. Employment in the four key office sectors (Information and Communications, Finance and Insurance, Real Estate and Professional) has grown by 68,000 (from 1,782,000 to 1,850,000) since the referendum; with around 10 per cent 
of this growth in Finance and Insurance6. 
2.51	
Of course, events leading up to and potentially beyond Britain's departure from the EU could stretch this resilience further, but it might also be that wider economic factors have a growing role to play as economic activity across the eurozone begins to falter in the face of global economic headwinds.

But, for the time being, the outlook is also relatively benign. London's Gross Value Added growth rate is forecast to be 1.9 per cent in 2018 (down from 2.7 per cent in 2017). This is expected to slow slightly to 1.6 per cent in 2019, before climbing back to 1.9 per cent in 2020. At the same time, London is forecast to see increases in the number of workforce jobs in 2019 and 2020 
(by 0.5 per cent and 0.7 per cent, respectively)7. 
Ensure that there is sufficient employment land available Target: Release of industrial land to be in line with benchmarks in the Industrial Capacity SPG

2.53	 Table 2.10 shows an estimated total of 73 hectares of industrial land release 
recorded in planning approvals in 2017/18. As observed in previous years, the East London sub-region contributed the largest area for transfer to other uses, with 30.9 hectares making up 42 per cent of total release. Waltham Forest permitted the highest single release figure, 11.6 hectares contributing 15.9 per cent of total release. Enfield (8.1 hectares), Harrow (7.7 hectares) and Havering (7.3 hectares) are the other boroughs that are contributing at least 10 per cent of the total release.
2.54	 The largest individual site transfers of industrial land include:
•	The former Kodak site in Harrow (7.6 hectares in two consents) •	Phase 1 of the Meridian Water development in Enfield (7.2 hectares) •	The Dovers Corner industrial estate in Havering (5.86 hectares) •	The Bywaters site in Waltham Forest (5.5 hectares) •	The East Ham industrial estate in Newham (3 hectares)
2.55	 The SPG benchmark was exceeded in all of London's sub-regions, by the 
greatest proportion in North London where 14.7 hectares is more than four times the benchmark.
2.56	 Exceeding the benchmarks has been driven primarily by pressure for 
residential development. These findings reinforce the need for a new approach to managing industrial capacity in London, and this has been taken forward in the draft new London Plan.

2.57	
Note that the figures in Table 2.10 include planning approvals that involve the loss of industrial or warehousing uses and do not include the transfer of other types of uses to industrial related ones, so these figures could be overstating the loss of employment land.
2.58	 Research commissioned by the GLA indicates that there will be positive net 
demand for industrial land in London over the period 2016 to 2041, mostly driven by strong demand for logistics to service growth in London's economy and population. Based on this evidence, the draft new London Plan addresses the need to retain sufficient industrial, logistics and related capacity by seeking, as a general principle, no overall net loss of industrial floorspace capacity across London in designated Strategic Industrial Locations and Locally Significant Industrial Sites.
Employment in Outer London Target: Growth in total Employment in Outer London

2.59	 Table 2.11 shows estimates of the total number of jobs, including selfemployed, from 2004 to 2017, in the whole of London and in the Outer London boroughs. In 2017 the proportion in outer London was 38 per cent, the same as in the previous two years.
2.60	 In 2011 the number in Outer London had fallen by 81,000 from its 2008 
peak. However, since 2011 there has been a strong recovery in employment, increasing by almost 315,000 between 2011 and 2017 (16.3 per cent). It grew by 2.1 per cent in the last year alone. However, this represents a weaker rise since 2011 than in inner London (21.8 per cent) and, therefore, in London overall (19.6 per cent).

Estimates of employee jobs by borough are calculated by applying borough shares of total London employee jobs from the ONS Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) to the London total employee jobs component of ONS Workforce Jobs (WFJ). Self-employed jobs are calculated by applying estimates of borough shares of London's total self-employed jobs from the 
Annual Population Survey (APS) data to the London total self-employed jobs component of WFJ. Employee and self-employed jobs are then added together for an estimate of total employment.

2.62	
From 2015 the coverage of the ONS Standard Business Survey Population was extended to include a population of solely Pay as You Earn (PAYE) based businesses. The overall impact that including PAYE units had on BRES total employee estimates is relatively small (0.7 per cent in 2015) but there is variation at a local level. To maintain consistency with previous years, we have adjusted our historic (2004-2014) borough employee shares to account for the increase in coverage based on two versions of 2015 data released by the ONS. More information can be found on the Office for National Statistics website. GLA Economics will be doing further work to investigate the impact of the changes on our historic estimates of employee jobs by borough and sector in the coming months.

## Key Performance Indicator 11 Increased Employment Opportunities For Those Suffering From Disadvantage In The Employment Market

Target: Reduce the employment rate gap between Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups and the white population and reduce the gap between lone parents on income support in London versus the average for England and Wales

## Employment Rates For White And Bame Groups

2.63	 Table 2.12 shows that employment rates for both white and Black, Asian 
and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups continue to increase. The gap between employment rates for white and BAME Londoners fell year-on-year between 2011 and 2016 from 14.8 to 12.3 percentage points. However, since then the gap has increased to 13.2 percentage points.
2.64	 The data in Table 2.12 includes further revisions made by ONS in 2018.

Improving the provision of social infrastructure and related services Target: Reduce the average class sizes in primary schools

2.67	
The Department for Education figures in Table 2.14 show that the average class size in one teacher classes in state funded primary schools across London fell by 0.2 from 2017 to 2018. After remaining stable for three years from 2013 to 2015 at 27.8, the London average has dropped in each of the last three years to 27.3 pupils per class in 2018. 
2.68	 Over the period from 2009 to 2018, they have increased slightly from 27 to 
27.3 pupils. During this time, 24 London boroughs have seen an increase in the average number of pupils per class and nine have decreased.
2.69	 Updated school place demand projections were published in March 2018 
which suggest that London will need to find places for an additional 4,800 children each year over the decade to 2027/28. The full report and data can be found at https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/pan-london-school-placedemand.
2.70	
The draft new London Plan requires boroughs to identify sites for future education facilities through the Development Plan process. It also recognises that there is a funding gap in terms of the capital funding required for new primary and secondary school places in the capital, with increased Government contributions and other new funding sources required to meet need.

Achieve a reduced reliance on the private car and a more sustainable modal split for journeys Target: Use of public transport per head grows faster than use of the private car per head

2.71	
Since 2001, use of public transport per head has grown by over 30 per cent, although there was a decrease of 1 per cent in the latest year, following a 3 per cent decline in the previous year. Private transport use per head has decreased by almost 25 per cent since 2001, although there was no change in the latest year.
2.72	
The indices in Table 2.15 are derived from the time series of journey stages per head compiled for the Travel in London Report 11 (TfL City Planning November 2018). This includes all travel to, from or within Greater London, including travel by commuters and visitors.
2.73	
Total daily journey-stages in 2017 were 31.5 million, a slight decrease of 0.1 per cent on 2016, and 5.9 million higher than in 2001.

Source: TfL City Planning, Travel in London Report 11, Tables 2.2 and 2.4. A cycle trip is defined as a one-way movement to achieve a specific purpose that is conducted entirely by bike. A cycle journey stage includes these trips, but also shorter cycle legs undertaken as part of a longer trip using another mode - for example, cycling to a station to catch a train. Cycle journey stages therefore give a best indication of total cycling activity.

2.77 The draft new London Plan sets out a variety of measures to support more cycling in line with the aim of achieving a mode share target of 80 per cent of trips being made by public transport or active travel. This includes increased cycle parking and cycle networks.

## Passengers

2.78	
Table 2.18 includes figures for passenger journeys on all river boat services on the Thames - River Bus, River Tours, Charter Services and Woolwich Ferry passengers. 2017/18 saw a 5.7 per cent decrease in the number of passenger journeys on the river Thames. This is against the context of passenger numbers having increased rapidly since the baseline year, with year on year growth only interrupted by small declines in 2011/12 and 2012/13. Despite the drop in 2017/18, the increase in the number of passenger journeys per year since 2011 remains above the 50 per cent benchmark target.

Source: TfL London Rivers Services Woolwich Ferry passenger numbers were only included in the count from 2006/2007. This partly explains the 122 per cent increase on 2005/2006 figures. 

2011 Baseline

From 2013/14 onwards, a new passenger counting system linked to the Automatic Identification System (AIS) on-board vessels has been used to give a clearer reflection of the total number of passenger journeys on the Thames. This partly explains the 34 per cent increase from 2012/13 figures.

## Freight

2.79	
In 2018, cargo trade on the River Thames was 10,619,000 tonnes, which represents a 14 per cent decrease on the comparable figure for 2017. The reason for the decrease over the year was a substantial reduction in volumes of aggregates within that part of the Port of London situated in the capital. As aggregates are the dominant cargo type handled at wharves in London, it has had a disproportionate effect on the total throughput. There was also a linked and corresponding reduction in the movement of aggregates between terminals on the river, although the full effect of this downturn was mitigated by increases in the volume of containerised waste (for the second year running) and growing volumes of cargoes associated with the Thames Tideway Tunnel project.
2.80	 The data in Table 2.19 is a combination of inter-port trade, cargo handled at 
terminal in Greater London that either enters or leaves the Port of London across the Seaward Limits, and intra-port trade, cargo handled at terminals in Greater London that has its origin or destination at other terminals within the Port of London or the Seaward Limits. 
2.81	
The Port of London Authority (PLA) launched the 2035 Vision for the Tidal 
Thames8 in May 2016, setting out goals and priority actions for achieving safe 
and sustainable growth in passenger and freight transport on the Thames. The 2035 Vision sets out clear targets, including doubling the number of passengers travelling by river to 20 million per year and the movement of over 4 million tonnes of freight between wharves (excluding volumes associated with major infrastructure projects). The GLA and TfL are working closely with the PLA to identify opportunities to continue to grow passenger and freight movement on the Thames.

Increase in the number of jobs located in areas of high PTAL values Target: Maintain at least 50% of B1 development in PTAL zones 5-6

2.82	 This indicator aims to show that high-density employment generators such 
as offices are mainly located in areas with a Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) of 5 or 6; 6 being the highest and 0 the lowest. The floorspaces are gross, meaning that associated losses are not subtracted. The data is 
taken from the LDD which has a threshold for data submission of 1,000m2 for 
B1 uses, so schemes proposing less than this are not recorded.
2.83	 Table 2.20 shows that 81 per cent of all B1 Business floorspace approved 
during 2017/18 is in areas with a PTAL of 5 or 6. This is well above the benchmark target of 50 per cent and 14 percentage points above the previous year's figure. When just offices are considered, the figure rises to 83 per cent, up 9 percentage points on the previous year. 
2.84	 One of the reasons for the high proportion of all B1 floorspace being in 
areas of high PTAL is the low quantity of B1 floorspace for uses other than offices being recorded. In 2016/17, other B1 uses (such as light industrial, research and development) made up 9 per cent of all B1 floorspace approved in London, while in 2017/18 they accounted for just 3 per cent. In planning 
terms, all these uses fall within the same use class so the breakdown between 
them does not need to be specified at application stage. It is not known whether any assumptions are being made about the proposed use when it is not specified by the applicant, although it is clear the vast majority of B1 floorspace approved in the capital is proposed for office use.
2.85	 As seen in previous years, most of the office floorspace approved during 
2017/18 was in the CAZ, and all of this is in areas with a PTAL of 5 or 6. However, the 55 per cent of approved floorspace in the CAZ is lower than the 62 per cent recorded in 2016/17. The proportion in Outer London is 11 per cent, down 1 percentage point on 2016/17, meaning that 32 per cent is in Inner London boroughs (but outside CAZ), up from 25 per cent in 2016/17.
2.86	 As noted above, the figures are based on gross approvals of 1,000m2 or more. 
When losses to change of use or demolition are considered, approvals during 
2017/18 result in a net gain of 417,000m2 of B1 floorspace. However, this is 
entirely due to growth in areas with good transport accessibility, mainly in Inner London. The outer London boroughs show a loss of around 48,000m2 of B1 floorspace, and areas with a PTAL of 4 or less would see a loss of 
180,000m2 from schemes approved in 2017/18. Office floorspace accounts for approximately 88 per cent of this loss.

Protection of biodiversity habitat Target: No net loss of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs)

2.87	
Table 2.21 shows planning permissions granted during 2017/18 within SINCs, and the amount of the SINC that would be lost if they are implemented. The following categories of SINC are recorded: •	Statutory Site of Special Scientific Interest •	Site of Metropolitan Importance •	Site of Borough Grade I Importance •	Site of Borough Grade II Importance •	Site of Local Importance
Open Space protection designations such as Green Belt, MOL and Local Open Space are addressed in Key Performance Indicator 3.

2.88	 A total of seven approvals were recorded during 2017/18 on SINCs. The total 
area covered is just over 2.85 hectares, a slight decrease on the 3 hectares recorded in 2016/17 and well below the 9.27 hectares in 2015/16. The table includes a brief description of the proposal.
2.89	 All data for this KPI is taken from the LDD. The table shows the planning 
permissions that have been granted for buildings or works that will affect a SINC and the area that would be lost if they are implemented. Changes to SINCs are made through the preparation or review of Local Plans and are not part of the planning permission process. For this reason, gains are only recorded in very exceptional circumstances, although re-provision within a planning permission is considered when calculating the loss.

Increase in municipal waste recycled or composted and elimination of waste to landfill by 2031 Target: At least 45% of waste recycled or composted by 2015 and 0% of biodegradable or recyclable waste to landfill by 2026

2.90	 Table 2.22 shows the total amount of local authority collected waste has 
declined by 815,000 tonnes since 2002. 9.6 per cent of London's waste was disposed to landfill in 2017/18.
2.91	
The table also shows London's recycling rate for local authority collected waste increasing steadily since 2002/03, when it was 9 per cent. Having reached 30 per cent in 2011/12, it has remained stable at around that level over the past seven years, missing the 2015 target of 45%. There is also still some way to go towards reaching the target of 50 per cent by 2025 set out in 
the Mayor's London Environment Strategy (2018).9
2.92	 Increased recycling will be helped by, amongst other things, a transition to 
a more circular economy (supported by draft new London Plan policies) and introducing a minimum level of recycling service that all waste authorities need to meet by 2020.
2.93	 Where this KPI mentions municipal waste, it is referring to local authority 
collected waste.

## Key Performance Indicator 20 Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions Through New Development

Target: Annual average % carbon dioxide emissions savings for strategic development proposals progressing towards zero carbon in residential developments by 2016 and all developments by 2019

2.94	 Policy 5.2 of the London Plan sets CO2 emission reduction targets for new 
buildings. To meet the target, applicants are required to use the energy hierarchy and set out the carbon reductions achieved at each of the following stages: •		
Be lean: use less energy
•		
Be clean: supply energy efficiently
•		
Be green: use renewable energy
2.95	 	
As well as supporting investment in energy efficiency, the development of heat networks and the deployment of renewable technologies, the policies may also enable additional benefits for building occupants through provision of affordable energy and increased security of energy supply, while minimising the impact on the existing energy network.
2.96	 	
The CO2 reduction targets are expressed as minimum improvements over the carbon targets set for buildings in national Building Regulations, which serves as a baseline (see Table 2.26). When revised Building Regulations came into effect on 6 April 2014, the London Plan CO2 target was recalibrated to take into account the changes to the baseline. A percentage target of 35 per cent beyond the new national standards across both residential and non-domestic buildings was then applied by the Mayor.
2.97 From 1 October 2016, the London Plan target for new major residential developments was raised to zero carbon. From 2020 the zero-carbon target will also apply to non-residential development. While the priority remains for developments to reach carbon reduction targets on-site, the policy stipulates that any shortfalls should be met through a cash-in-lieu contribution to the relevant borough into a carbon offset fund, or through an off-site carbon reduction project agreed between the borough and the developer.
2.98	 The 2017 Energy Monitoring Report  presents the results for calendar year 
2017 against the CO2 targets for the 129 major development applications referred to the Mayor for approval. All of these applications were assessed against the most recent national building regulations (specifically Part L 2013 of Building Regulations). The majority of applications made in 2017 were 
required to meet a 35 per cent carbon reduction beyond Part L 2013, but for 23 applications with a residential element that were submitted on or after October 2016, the domestic zero-carbon target applied.

2.99	 Overall performance against the Mayor's carbon reductions target improved 
considerably compared with the previous year. Cumulatively the overall reduction in CO2 emissions is estimated to be 40.5 per cent more than required by Building Regulations, compared with 35.7 per cent in 2016. For non-domestic buildings the overall reduction was 41.6 per cent, while domestic buildings reached 38.7 per cent, both of which comfortably exceed the Mayor's target of a 35 per cent carbon reduction against Building Regulations. This equates to a CO2 emission reduction of just over 37,000 
tonnes per annum, which is broadly equivalent to the savings achieved from retrofitting loft insulation in more than 60,000 existing houses.

2.100	 Of the 23 applications where the zero-carbon target applied, an overall saving 
of 39.7 per cent was achieved. This compares favourably to a 36.7 per cent saving for the 56 applications with a residential element that were submitted before the zero carbon homes policy took effect on 1 October 2016 (and were therefore only required to meet the 35 per cent target).

## Key Performance Indicator 21 Increase In Energy Generated From Renewable Sources

Target: Production of 8,550 GWh of energy from renewable sources by 2026 

2.101	 This renewable energy generation target has been developed using data 
in the previous Mayor's Decentralised Energy Capacity Studies, which marked out the role renewables could play in our future energy mix by 2026. The renewable energy generation figure includes the potential energy production from various electricity and heat supply technologies, including photovoltaics, wind, hydro, biomass and energy from waste; as well as solar thermal, ground, air and water source heat pumps.
2.102	 The most authoritative datasets for energy generated in London from 
renewable energy sources are provided by the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Table 2.24 shows the generation of electricity from renewables in London for 2011-2017. Generation has increased to 1,081 GWh from 765 GWh in 2011, but remains well below the 2026 target. However, there are other initiatives being introduced to increase renewable energy generation, such as the Mayor's Solar Action Plan.

## Key Performance Indicator 22 Increase In Urban Greening

Target: Increase total area of green roofs in the CAZ

2.103	 In 2014 the GLA, working with the Green Roof Consultancy, used 2013 
aerial imagery to map all visible green roofs in the CAZ. A total of 678 green roofs covering an area of over 175,000m2 (17.5 hectares) were identified. An update based on 2015 aerial imagery identified additional coverage of 47,000m2 (4.7 hectares) taking the total coverage in the CAZ to 220,000 m2 
(22 hectares), an increase of 27 per cent. A further assessment based on 2017 imagery indicates that the total is now over 290,000 m2 (29 hectares).
2.104	 The most recent information including details of the range of sizes and types 
of green roof in the CAZ is available at https://livingroofs.org/wp-content/ uploads/2019/04/CAZ-INFORGRAPHIC-FINAL-2019a.pdf.
2.105	 Further improvements in the resolution of aerial imagery, and the ability to 
analyse it, will allow the monitoring of green roofs across the whole of London in the future. Consequently, the scope of this KPI will be reviewed following the publication of the new London Plan.

## Key Performance Indicator 23 Improve London'S Blue Ribbon Network

Target: Restore 15km of rivers and streams* 2009 - 2015 and an additional 10km by 2020 (*defined as main river by the Environment Agency - includes larger streams and rivers but can also include smaller watercourses of local significance)

2.106	 The initial target to restore 15km of rivers and streams by 2015 has been 
achieved.
2.107	 The current target of an additional 10km of river restoration by 2020 
is proving a more challenging objective. Most opportunities for river restoration are reliant on major regeneration schemes or investment in the upgrade of flood defences or catchment scale flood management schemes; consequently, the year on year delivery varies depending on which schemes are brought forward. Nevertheless, 2,645m of river was restored in 2017 and 530m in 2018; this included projects such as naturalising concrete channels and de-culverting.
2.108	 According to the data collated by the Environment Agency through the 
London Rivers Restoration Group (LRRG)10, it is evident that communitybased river corridor enhancement projects remain a significant complementary activity to more formal river restoration. During 2017/18, 
over 17,000m of river corridor were enhanced. The enhancements included 
channel-narrowing, removal of weirs, invasive species control, and the establishment of additional riverine habitat through tree planting and wetland creation within 10 metres of the channel.

## Key Performance Indicator 24 Protecting And Improving London'S Heritage And Public Realm

Target: Reduction in the proportion of designated heritage assets at risk as a % of the total number of designated heritage assets in London

2.109	 Table 2.26 shows that the number of designated heritage assets in London 
has increased from 2017 to 2018. There are 93 new listed buildings, two more scheduled monuments and two more registered parks and gardens. The number of World Heritage Sites and conservation areas have remained constant.
2.110	 The percentage of conservation areas recorded as being at risk has 
decreased by 1 percentage point to 7 per cent. There has also been a 1 percentage point decrease in the proportion of scheduled monuments at risk, which now stands at 16 per cent. There has been no change in the other classes of designated assets. None of London's World Heritage Sites or registered battlefields are at risk.
2.111	 For details on individual designated assets, Historic England provide a 
summary document with the number and condition of all designated assets. They have also produced a Heritage at Risk 2018 summary for London.

## Chapter 3 - Additional Performance Measures And Statistics Housing And Design Housing Provision Annual Monitor 2017/18 Introduction

3.1	
This report provides further detail on housing provision in London, adding to that provided in the tables in the main body of the Annual Monitoring Report. It is based on data provided by London's planning authorities to the London Development Database (LDD). The LDD was established by the GLA in 2004 with the support of government and the London boroughs and is widely regarded as the most authoritative source of information on housing provision in London.
3.2	
This section deals with housing provision as defined for the purpose of monitoring the London Plan. There are three elements to the housing supply target in the current London Plan: •	The 'conventional supply' is new homes from new build, conversions of 
existing residential buildings or changes of use. This definition only includes dwellings that are fully self-contained; meaning they have kitchen and bathroom facilities behind their own lockable front door.
•	The 'non-conventional', or 'non-self-contained' supply is any other form of 
living accommodation that does not meet the definition of 'self-contained'. It includes bedrooms in student halls, large houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), hostels, shared or co-living accommodation and care homes.
•	Long-term vacant properties returning to use are obtained from the Council 
Tax Base and reported by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). These contribute to the housing targets in Annex 4 of the London Plan so are mentioned in relation to completions, but are not applicable to approvals, starts or the pipeline.
3.3	
All figures are usually 'net' (losses of existing units are subtracted from the gains) unless otherwise stated. The main exceptions are figures showing number of bedrooms, residential densities and compliance with accessibility standards, which are all calculated on gross figures (losses are not subtracted from the total). 
3.4	
The reporting year used by the LDD and throughout this report begins on 1 April and runs to 31 March the following year, which is often referred to as the Financial Year (FY) in LDD data reports. FY2017 therefore runs from 01/04/2017 to 31/03/2018. To make it clearer we have used the form 2017/18 rather than FY2017 in this report.
3.5	
Tenure types are generally taken from the s106 legal agreement associated with a permission, but in some cases they may be updated to reflect the final tenure split when the scheme is implemented, for example if a site, or all of the residential units, are acquired by a housing association for affordable housing prior to completion. Tenure changes after completion are not recorded on the LDD.
3.6	
A separate definition of affordable housing delivery is used by central government and the Mayor for the purposes of monitoring his affordable homes programme. This counts the gross number of affordable homes delivered through conventional supply or acquisitions of existing properties and includes changes in tenure that are not linked to the planning system so are not captured by LDD. Completion in relation to this definition is triggered by payment of grant and may therefore be recorded at a different point in time. The Affordable Housing Monitor covers affordable housing delivery according to the London Housing Strategy (2018) definition.
3.7	
The statistics are based on the details of planning applications approved by London's 35 planning authorities. This includes the 32 London Boroughs, the City of London, the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC). The LDD records all planning consents that propose a loss or a gain of residential units. This includes Full and Outline planning permissions, but also variations to these, whether through details / reserved matters consents, s73 Minor Material Amendments or formal Variations to s106 agreements may also be recorded.
3.8	
Changes of use to residential through Section 3 of the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) are also recorded, whether or not prior approval is required. Where prior approval is required (as is the case for Class O office to residential changes), the relevant class from the GPDO is recorded. Other classes (e.g. Class G ancillary retail to residential) may be recorded as s192 Certificates of Proposed Lawful Development rather than by the class in the GPDO. Note that the streamlined prior approvals process means that applicants do not need to submit full details of the proposed scheme, so it is not always possible for the local authority to fill in all the details normally recorded on the LDD. These gaps in the data can occasionally lead to totals not matching across tables in this report. S191 Certificates of Existing Lawful Use are included where the change in units identified by the consent has not previously been identified in the local authority's housing stock figures. Temporary permissions are not included in these figures.
3.9	
The time series data has been updated for this AMR and uses the definitions outlined in the preceding paragraphs.
3.10	
Data in all tables is shown by the London borough (including the City of London) where the development is located, rather than by planning authority. The only exception is Table 3.6, 'Total net completions against London Plan benchmark 2017/18' which includes LLDC as it has its own housing target in the London Plan. The borough has been used in the remaining tables to allow consistency with previous AMRs.
3.11	
While some individual schemes are referenced in this report, it is only intended to give a brief overview to the London situation. More detailed information at a local level can be found in borough AMRs. All the data used to compile this report is also available on the London Datastore.
3.12	
Although the data in the LDD is supplied by the boroughs, the information presented here may be different from that found in the borough AMRs. This can be due to the timing of when the data is extracted, as the LDD is a live system that is continually updated and adjusted to reflect the best information available. There are also occasional differences in the way data is recorded, for example the way completions are allocated to particular years. The LDD ensures that the data is collected using the same methodology across London without affecting the ability of boroughs to reflect local circumstances in their own AMRs.

## Completions

3.13	
Table 3.2 and Figure 3.1 show the latest data on completions by year. Total completions for 2017/18 were 32,083, a 28 per cent drop from the 2016/17 total of 44,681 (revised from 45,505 in the last AMR). This amounts to 76 per cent of the 42,388 benchmark in the London Plan.
3.14	
Total housing provision, as monitored in the London Plan, consists of three elements: conventional housing supply, non-self-contained accommodation, and long-term empty homes returning to use, often referred to as 'Vacants'. KPI 4 in Chapter 2 and Table 3.6 show housing provision at local authority level compared to the housing targets in Annex 4 of the 2016 London Plan. Table 3.7 shows the delivery by borough compared to the housing targets over the last three years.
3.15	
During 2017/18, the LDD records 36,270 completions and 4,419 unit losses giving a total for net conventional housing completions of 31,851. This is a 21 per cent decrease from the 40,553 net conventional completions in 2016/17, ending the upward trend each year since 2010/11 when conventional completions were below 20,000. It is only the third year to see over 30,000 completions in London since LDD began monitoring in 2004 and is lower only than 2016/17 and 2015/16.
3.16	
The net total non-self-contained completions for 2017/18, were 2,476, a 45 per cent decrease on the 4,520 in 2016/17.
3.17	
The non-self-contained element of the benchmark is comprised of bedrooms in student halls of residence, hostels, large houses in multiple occupation and care homes. The latter was introduced in the 2015 plan, bringing our definition in line with that used for Communal Accommodation category in the annual Housing Flows Reconciliation return to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. For the purposes of monitoring the London Plan the number of separate bedrooms is counted, even if they contain more than one 'bed-space'.
3.18	
The number of 'vacants', as measured by the Council Tax Base and reported by MHCLG, increased from 20,237 to 22,481 between 2017 and 2018, resulting in a net decrease in the housing supply figures of 2,244 homes.
3.19	
When these three elements are combined, the total supply is 32,083. This is 12,598 below the revised total of 44,681 for 2016/17, a drop of 28 per cent. It is 10,305, or 24 per cent, below the 42,388 annual benchmark in the London Plan.
3.20	 Table 3.5 shows conventional completions by year. Completions of 31,851 
represent a drop of 21 per cent since 2016/17, following rises of 15 per cent last year and 23 per cent between 2014/15 and 2015/16. The figure for 2017/18 remains above the average since 2004 of nearly 28,000 conventional completion per year.
3.21	
As ever, completions are not spread evenly across the London boroughs. The borough with the largest number of conventional completions in both gross and net terms is Barnet with 2,587 gross and 2,360 net housing completions. Three other planning authorities recorded over 2,000 net completions. The next highest total, 2,110, is in Wandsworth, followed by 2,079 in Croydon and 2,003 in Tower Hamlets. Greenwich recorded 1,900 net conventional completions. At the other end of the scale, net conventional completions in the City of London are 138. Kingston upon Thames (217), Bexley (276) and Havering (277) all had net completions below 300.
3.22	 The LDD records all losses in the final year of scheme completion, while 
gains can be spread over several years. 2017/18 saw the loss of 271 units at Durand Close in Sutton (planning reference C2006/56803), for which the first unit completions were in 2011/12, while the redevelopment of Bronte and Fielding House in Brent (reference 120454) records a loss of 196 in this year. 
Newham has recorded the loss of 126 homes under reference 15/03286/ PREDEM, a consent for the demolition only, therefore separating the loss from any future gains on the site.

3.23	 Table 3.9 shows conventional completions by tenure for 2017/18. Total net 
affordable housing completions were 4,703, representing 15 per cent of total completions. Of these the tenure split is 60 per cent intermediate, 30 per cent Affordable Rent and 10 per cent at social rented level. The borough with the highest proportion of affordable housing in their net housing supply was Barking and Dagenham at 32 per cent. Table 3.10 shows the same but for permissions to which affordable housing policies apply. Of these, 20 per cent are affordable and the borough with the highest percentage is Redbridge where 48 per cent of 212 completions are recorded as being affordable.
3.24	 Table 3.11 shows total net conventional affordable supply by borough over 
the last three years, which shows that affordable completions have fallen each year both in numeric terms and as a proportion of total supply. The three-year average is down to 17 per cent, from 21 per cent in the previous three-year cycle. The borough with the highest three-year average is Waltham Forest at 42 per cent, helped by the 69 per cent figure in 2015/16. It is the only borough with a three-year average of over 40 per cent, while Barking and Dagenham (36 per cent) and Tower Hamlets (30 per cent) are the only others with 30 per cent or more. At the other end of the scale, the City of London recorded a net 0 per cent affordable completions over the three-year cycle, and Harrow have a net loss, -64 units. This is due to a net loss of affordable housing in 2015/16. Brent (-147) and Enfield (-11) recorded net losses of affordable homes in 2017/18.
3.25	 It is important to remember that losses on a permission are all recorded in 
the same year while gains can be spread over several years, which can have a significant impact on the annual figures for any individual borough. The use of the three-year average serves to reduce the impact of these anomalies, but they can still show up in the figures. This is the case for Harrow where the completion of the Apple Grove consent (reference P/3171/06) contributes to a net loss in three-year figures, despite delivering an overall increase in affordable housing. The low three-year average across London is a matter which the current Mayor has made a clear commitment to address. However, it will take several years before most of the referable planning permissions granted under the current administration make it through to completion. Of the units completed between 01/04/2016 and 31/03/2018, 92 per cent were approved before May 2016, which marked the start of the current Mayor's administration.

3.26	 Table 3.12 breaks down net conventional affordable supply in the last 
three years into social rented, intermediate and Affordable Rent. Over the three-year period, net conventional affordable housing supply amounted to 18,615 homes, with social rented units accounting for 20 per cent of these, intermediate products 48 per cent and Affordable Rent units 33 per cent. This continues the trend from social rented to Affordable Rent seen in previous AMRs. The borough that has provided the highest number of affordable completions is Tower Hamlets where the total of 2,616 is almost twice the next highest, 1,321 in Greenwich. Although LDD allows a wide range of tenures to be recorded, including London Affordable Rent, it is a concern that the various terms are sometimes used interchangeably, leading to some units being incorrectly classified. The delivery of London Affordable Rent units is shown in Table 3.37.
3.27	 Table 3.8 shows the split of total gross conventional completions in 2017/18 
across London as a whole by tenure and number of bedrooms. The figures are presented in gross terms as the number of bedrooms for homes lost or replaced is sometimes difficult to obtain and there are enough gaps in the data to prevent the calculation of meaningful net figures. One-bed (including studios and bedsits) and two-bed properties make up most of the supply, accounting for 38 per cent and 42 per cent of the total respectively. The remaining 20 per cent have three bedrooms or more (the measure used as a proxy for family housing). However, the profile of supply varies with tenure. Homes with three bedrooms or more make up 37 per cent of social rented supply and 33 per cent of Affordable Rent homes. However, they make up just 19 per cent of market homes and 13 per cent of intermediate homes.
3.28	 Table 3.13 shows the gross conventional supply of housing by borough 
and number of bedrooms while Table 3.14 shows the same for affordable housing only. Across London, 7,109 homes with three bedrooms or more were completed. The boroughs that provided the highest percentage of three or more bed housing was Kensington and Chelsea where three or more bed homes made up 40 per cent of total completions, followed by Westminster with 31 per cent. Both are inner London boroughs. The boroughs with the lowest percentage of completions with three bedrooms or more, Croydon (251, 11 per cent), Harrow (90, 11 per cent) and Hillingdon (111, 12 per cent), are all in outer London.
3.29	 Looking just at affordable housing with three or more bedrooms, 1,427 
family homes represent 25 per cent of total affordable completions. The low total number of affordable completions in several boroughs leads to a wide variation in the percentages at borough level. For example, 17 units in Havering make up 65 per cent of the total. Bexley, Bromley, the City of London and Kingston upon Thames recorded no completions of affordable homes with three bedrooms or more.
3.30	 There are three development types for conventional housing supply recorded 
in the LDD; new-build (including extensions that create new residential units), conversions (changes to the number of units in properties already in residential use) and changes of use (for example gains from industrial or commercial uses and losses to non-C3 uses). Table 3.15 shows gross and net conventional supply by type for each borough. Across London, 78 per cent of net completions are new build, 17.5 per cent changes of use and 4.5 per cent from residential conversions. Changes of use accounted for 23 per cent in 2016/17.
3.31	
While residential conversions are not a major source of completions in many boroughs, there are some where they make a significant contribution. They contributed 15 per cent of completions in Enfield, 13 per cent in Haringey and Ealing, and 10 per cent in Redbridge. Contrastingly they contributed a net loss in five boroughs, including Kensington and Chelsea, Richmond upon Thames and Westminster, all for the fourth year in a row. Camden and Kingston upon Thames also saw small losses through residential conversion.
3.32	 Completions by permission type are shown in Table 3.16. Since 2015/16 all 
types of consent that permit a change in the number of homes have been recorded on the LDD, including permitted development (such as office, retail and storage and distribution to residential), Certificates of Proposed Lawful Development and amendments to existing consents or legal agreements where they permit a change that affects the numbers in the LDD. Due to their numerical significance, office to residential prior approvals (Class O, formerly J) are shown, while all other prior approvals are grouped together with s192 Certificates of Proposed Lawful Development under the heading of 'Other prior approvals'. Amendments, including variations to legal agreements, are also grouped together.
3.33	 Full permissions account for 58 per cent of all completions, while Outline 
consents (for which no further details or reserved matters needed to be entered on the LDD) account for 6 per cent and Details/Reserve Matters 
make up 16 per cent. This rise from around 7 per cent in the previous two years may reflect the increased use of reserved matters to help keep track of complex redevelopment on the system, as much as any change in their use in the planning process. The same goes for amendments to consented schemes, which make up 9 per cent of completions compared to 4 per cent in the previous two years. Further analysis may be required to understand if these changes reflect anything other than changes in monitoring practice. Prior approvals of various types make up 10 per cent of all completions, down from nearly 17 per cent in 2016/17. The decrease in the completions through office to residential prior approvals is significant and is reflected in the drop in completions through changes of use. The impact of other types of prior approval remains at less than 1 per cent, but that is in part to do with deconversions through s192 certificates of proposed lawful development within this category. Excluding these losses, other prior approvals contributed 196 completions, up from 151 in 2016/17.

3.34	 The average density of new housing completions in London, as shown in 
Table 3.17, is 146 dwellings per hectare (dph). This is slightly higher than the 139 dph in 2016/17 and an average of approximately 129 dph for the years from 2008/09 to 2016/17. As would be expected, the lowest densities 
are found in the outer London boroughs. Bromley (52 dph), Enfield (65 dph), 
Kingston upon Thames (66 dph) and Hillingdon (67 dph) recorded the lowest overall density. In total nine boroughs recorded a density below 100 dph. Over the time-series, an average of 11 boroughs have a density below 100 dph. The highest density, both in 2017/18 and across the time-series, is in the City of London. The 369 dph recorded in 2017/18 is below their average of over 500 dph for the time-series. Completions in Tower Hamlets show a density of 362 dph and in Wandsworth they were 361 dph. This is well above Wandsworth's average across the time-series of 155 dph. Greenwich recorded a density of 300 dph, which is again higher than seen in previous years.
3.35	 Densities are calculated by dividing the gross total residential units by the 
sum of the residential site areas. This means that the value entered for the site area on an individual permission can potentially have a significant impact on the density for the whole borough, and even for London as a whole if the area entered is high enough. Site areas can be difficult to calculate, particularly on mixed use schemes and those being delivered in phases, and are often recalculated as more information becomes available, such as when 
details of later phases are approved. This means that the density of approvals is particularly volatile, but completions are also subject to change.

3.36	 The net total of non-self-contained units completed during 2017/18 (Table 
3.18) is 2,476. As has been seen recent years, this is based on the increase in student accommodation. A net total of 2,969 student rooms were completed in nine boroughs. 1,257 rooms were completed in Brent, 757 in Kingston upon Thames and 527 in Waltham Forest. In total 2,581 student rooms were completed in outer London compared to 388 in Inner London (including the Central Activities Zone).
3.37	
In contrast to the large gains in student rooms, there was a decrease of 69 rooms in C2 care homes and of 424 rooms from hostels and large HMOs. This can at least in part be attributed to a continued move towards more selfcontained provision and improvements to the existing housing stock leading to low-quality non-self-contained units being replaced by new self-contained flats.
3.38	 The number of long-term vacant properties is derived from the Council Tax 
Base and is published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in Housing Live Table 615. The data included in this report is broken down by borough (meaning there is no separate total for the London Legacy Development Corporation) and it covers the period from 2 October 2017 to 1 October 2018, so does not exactly match the time-period used for the rest of the data. However it remains the best source of net data available. Long-term empty homes are defined as those dwellings which had been unoccupied and substantially unfurnished for over six months. Since April 2012 there has been local discretion over the level of Council Tax discount that vacant properties receive, and since April 2013 local authorities have also been able to charge a Council Tax premium of up to 50 per cent on properties vacant for more than two years. It is not known what impact this has had on the recording of vacant properties.
3.39	 The number of long-term vacant properties (vacants) increased from 20,237 
in October 2017 to 22,481 in October 2018, meaning a negative net impact of 2,244 units on housing supply. Southwark recorded an increase of 638 vacant homes, the highest number from the 25 boroughs that recorded an increase (and therefore a loss of housing supply). Of the eight boroughs that saw a decrease in the number of vacant properties (so an increase in housing supply), the 374 in Redbridge was the highest.

## Approvals

3.40	 During 2017/18, net conventional housing approvals were 65,134 and nonself-contained approvals were 4,000.
3.41	
Annual approvals include all units in planning permissions that are granted during the year, unless they are superseded by a revision to the scheme within the same year. Many of the permissions granted will be renewals of existing permissions, revisions to previously approved schemes or provide details of the phasing of outline permissions. For this reason, approvals from different years cannot simply be added together to give a cumulative total, however they are comparable year on year.
3.42	
Table 3.3 shows the time series of net approvals at London level since 2004/05. Net conventional housing approvals during 2017/18 currently stand at 65,134. This is down for the third year in a row, but still above the levels commonly found during the 2000s.
3.43	 Despite the overall drop, approvals in Outer London have risen for the fourth 
year in a row and make up 60 per cent of all approvals in 2017/18, which is well above the long-term average of 41 per cent. 11 per cent of approvals were in the Central Activities Zone and 38 per cent were in the rest of Inner London. There have been large variations in these proportions in previous years, so it is too early to say if this is in any way indicative of a long-term trend.
3.44	 Table 3.19 show approvals by borough and tenure and Table 3.22 shows 
approvals by permission type. The borough to approve the highest number of units is Wandsworth, which granted permission for 5,738. Of these, approximately 72 per cent are in the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea Opportunity Area, providing or amending details from previously approved applications. In total, over 81 per cent of units approved in Wandsworth are in either Details / Reserved Matters or Variations to earlier permissions. 5,557 units were approved in Newham, including 2,198 approved by the London Legacy Development Corporation. Barnet approved 4,814 units, of which 48 per cent are in Details, Reserved Matters or Variations to earlier permissions. This is well above the London average of around 22 per cent. Croydon (4,659) and Ealing (4,584) also approved in excess of 4,000 net units.
3.45	 The largest residential approval was 1,965 units at Greenford Green in Ealing 
(164694FUL). This supersedes a much smaller scheme for 565 units on the 
former GlaxoSmithKlein site, and incorporates the adjacent Sunblest site into a single, larger development. Wandsworth approved three consents in excess of 1,000 units, 2015/4499, 2017/1680 and 2017/5353, for a total of 3,868 homes. All are within the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea Opportunity Area. The only other approval for over 1,000 units was 15/00358/OUT, an Outline consent for 1,224 homes for private rent at Cherry Park in Newham.

3.46	 Of the homes approved in 2017/18, 82 per cent are for market sale or rent, 11 
per cent intermediate sale or rent, 5 per cent Affordable Rent and 2 per cent social rented. This total of 18 per cent affordable is the same as recorded in the previous year. The boroughs recording the highest percentage of affordable units in approvals are Tower Hamlets (37 per cent), Southwark (33 per cent) and Camden (31 per cent). When only looking at schemes to which affordable housing policies apply (Table 3.20), nearly 24 per cent of units are affordable. It should be noted that the tenure of the units may change during the life of a scheme. For example, the tenure may not have been defined on some outline permissions, so the number of affordable units may increase as details of the later phases are submitted. The tenure of approved units can also change at any time before completion, for example as the result of negotiations between developers and planning authorities or by subsequent 
transfer of units to a housing association.
3.47	
Gross approvals by number of bedrooms is shown in Table 3.21. 18 per cent of homes approved in 2016/17 have three or more bedrooms, the threshold to qualify as family housing. This is down from 20 per cent in 2016/17.
3.48	 The average density of new housing approvals, shown in Table 3.23, is 154 
dph, a decrease on last year's 168 dph. This has been adjusted up from 153 dph reported in the last AMR, so there is a possibility that further checking of site areas will lead to a revision in the data for this year. As ever there is wide variation between boroughs. For the fourth year in a row, the highest density is in Wandsworth (461 dph) followed by Tower Hamlets (430 dph). The lowest densities are found in Bromley (34 dph) and Havering (48 dph).
3.49	 Table 3.24 shows a net total of 4,000 non-self-contained rooms were 
approved during 2017/18 in London. This is made up of a net gain of 3,414 student bedrooms and 589 hostel/HMO bedrooms and a loss of three care home bedrooms. This is an increase on the 3,299 approved in 2016/17 and continues the trend of student rooms making up the majority of net supply.

## Starts

3.50	 Total net conventional starts in 2017/18 were 46,204, while non-selfcontained starts were 4,341.
3.51	
In the LDD a 'start' is the point at which a planning permission can no longer lapse due to the acknowledgement of a legal start on site. This can be triggered by demolition of existing buildings or preparatory works on site and does not mean the start of physical construction work on an individual building. It may be several years between a scheme start and the completion of the final units, particularly on large schemes. Annual starts include all units in planning permissions that are started during the year unless they are superseded by a revision to the scheme within the same year. Many of the permissions started will be for revisions to previously approved schemes or provide details of the phasing of outline permissions that have already been started in previous years. As with approvals, starts from different years cannot simply be added together to give a cumulative total. They are however comparable year on year.
3.52	
It is important to note that boroughs are still reporting difficulties in identifying starts on site and that some starts only get picked up when work is well under way, or upon scheme completion (particularly in the case of conversions or changes of use where there may be little or no external evidence of the work, and on the non-self-contained supply).
3.53	 The total of 46,204 net conventional starts is a 37 per cent decrease on the 
revised figure for 2016/17 of 73,181.
3.54	 Table 3.25 shows net conventional housing 'starts' by tenure. 78 per cent 
of net starts were for market units, 12 per cent intermediate units, 6 per cent Affordable Rent and 4 per cent for social rent. The total of 22 per cent affordable units is a slight increase on the 18 per cent in 2016/17. When only considering permissions to which affordable housing policies apply, shown in Table 3.26, 26 per cent are affordable.
3.55	 Table 3.27 shows gross starts by number of bedrooms. As in previous years 
most of the units recorded as started have less than three bedrooms, with 41 per cent being one bedroom or studio units, 41 per cent having two bedrooms and 18 per cent having three bedrooms or more. The borough starting the highest number of family sized homes is Newham.
3.56	 Table 3.28 shows net conventional starts by permission type. 66 per cent 
of starts are in Full permissions, Outlines make up 7 per cent, Details and Reserved Matters make up 12.5 per cent and amendments to schemes a further 5.5 per cent, while prior approvals make up about 7 per cent.
3.57	
Table 3.29 shows that there was a net total of 4,341 non-self-contained units in schemes that were started in 2017/18, a substantial increase on the 757 reported in the previous year. 3,885 of these are student rooms, nearly 90 per cent of the total.
The pipeline of new homes

3.58	 The total net conventional pipeline at 31 March 2018 was 276,959 homes, 
and the non-self-contained pipeline was 10,866 rooms.
3.59	 The 'pipeline' of housing supply comprises homes which have been granted 
planning permission but are not yet completed. It is broken down into homes that are 'not started' and those that are 'under construction'. It is important to bear in mind the definition of a start above. The 'under construction' pipeline shows the capacity in schemes on which work has technically started but should not be used to infer that work has begun on all the dwellings in those schemes. The annual flow of planning approvals for new homes adds to the pipeline, while units are removed when they are either completed, superseded by a new scheme or pass their lapse date without a start being made.
3.60	 Table 3.4 shows the net pipeline as at the end of each financial year (31 
March) at London level since 2004/05. The number of units in the pipeline at the end of 2017/18 fell for the first time since the time series began. However, at just under 277,000 units, there is still capacity within the planning system to deliver more than six years of supply at the target level in the London Plan 2016. Just over 40 per cent of units in the pipeline are in Outer London boroughs, 12 per cent in the CAZ and 48 per cent in the rest of Inner London. These shares are relatively close to the long-term trend.
3.61	
Table 3.30 shows the planning pipeline for conventional residential units as of 31 March 2018. At the end of the year there were 101,505 units (net) in schemes which have been granted planning permission but on which construction had not started and 175,454 units (net) in schemes under construction. This means that the number of units in schemes that are not started has dropped while the number in schemes that are under construction has risen, despite the slight drop in the total. As a result, the proportion of units in schemes that are started is up to 63 per cent. 
The borough with the most units in the pipeline is Tower Hamlets (27,382) followed by Newham (24,547) and Greenwich (24,348).

3.62	
The tenure of the units in the pipeline (net) can be seen in Table 3.31 while Table 3.32 shows existing, proposed and net tenure. Note that London Affordable Rent is included in the social rented column while the other tenures in Table 3.31 are included in the Intermediate category. The proportion of affordable units across London rose to 17.5 per cent, up from 16 per cent at the end of 2016/17. This ends a long period of steady decline, but the low level of affordable units in the pipeline is likely to take several years to address. The proportion of affordable units in schemes not started is only 16 per cent, down from 17 per cent at the end of the previous year. The borough with the highest proportion of affordable units in the pipeline is Barking and Dagenham, where 4,353 affordable units make up 30.5 per cent of the pipeline. In Islington, 1,100 units make up 29 per cent of the total net pipeline. In terms of units, Newham have 5,499 units (22 per cent of total) and Tower Hamlets have 5,086 units (18 per cent of their total). Table 3.33 shows the pipeline just for permissions to which affordable housing policies apply. When considering just these permissions, 20 per cent of net units are affordable.
3.63	 Table 3.34 shows the gross conventional pipeline by number of bedrooms. 
21 per cent of units for which the information is available will provide three bedrooms or more, while 39 per cent are studios or one bedroom units and 40 per cent are two bed units. 
3.64	 Table 3.35 shows the net pipeline by permission type. This shows that 50 per 
cent of units were in full permissions, 29 per cent in Outlines, 10 per cent in Details or Reserved matters, 6 per cent in amendments and 5 per cent in the various types of prior approval. Note that hybrid applications (part full, part outline) are usually included in the Outline category. 
3.65	 The net pipeline of non-self-contained units as at 31 March 2018, as shown in 
Table 3.36, was 10,866. Of these, 82 per cent are in schemes that were under construction. This means there are fewer than 2,000 non-self-contained rooms in permissions that were not started.
Gypsy and traveller sites

3.66	 Two permissions for new pitches for gypsies and travellers were recorded in 
2017/18 in London. P0950/17 permits five new pitches on railway sidings in Havering and 15/10101/FUL created one new pitch in Kingston upon Thames. 15/10101/FUL is the only recorded completion during the year.
3.67	
The planning pipeline at 31 March 2018 contained permissions for 11 additional pitches, five in each of Havering and Hounslow and one in Bexley.
3.68	 Note that traveller pitches are monitored as part of the overall residential 
supply. In addition to being recorded here, they contribute to the residential totals elsewhere in this report.

## Affordable Housing Delivery Monitor

3.69	 The measure of affordable housing delivery used in the Mayor's London 
Housing Strategy is very different from the measure of housing provision used in the London Plan. Affordable housing delivery is measured in gross terms and includes acquisitions of existing private sector homes for use as affordable housing. It is therefore often higher than the net provision of affordable housing in planning terms reported in the main body of the Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) and the Housing Provision Monitor.
3.70	
The data source for monitoring affordable housing delivery targets is the set of statistics on affordable housing supply published by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government. MHCLG no longer publishes regional statistics but has provided the GLA with updated figures at London level.
3.71	
These statistics are compiled from a range of sources. Most of the affordable housing delivery in London in recent years has been funded by the Greater London Authority, but the statistics also include units provided without any public funding.
3.72	
Table 3.37 shows affordable housing delivery in London by type in the five years 2013/14 to 2017/18. Over this period a total of 47,497 affordable homes were delivered, of which 9,700 were social rented housing, 347 London Affordable Rent, 21,131 other Affordable Rent and 16,243 intermediate housing (the remaining 76 being of unknown tenure). The recent volatility in this series reflects the increasingly stop-start nature of government affordable housing funding programmes.

Table 3.38 breaks the 2017/18 data down by borough.

## Intermediate Housing

3.74	
Paragraph 3.61 of the 2016 London Plan sets out the income thresholds for intermediate housing and states that these will be updated on an annual basis in the London Plan AMR. Paragraph 4.7.8 of the 2017 draft new London Plan states that the thresholds will be reviewed and updated where necessary in the AMR.
3.75	
In the 2016 AMR, to reflect government's approach to shared ownership, a single £90,000 household income was introduced for intermediate housing; in effect removing the previous higher income cap for families in larger homes. However, recognising the different role that intermediate rented products play in meeting affordable housing need compared to shared ownership products, and to ensure those rented products are genuinely affordable in line with the Mayor's London Living Rent product, the cap for intermediate rented products was reduced to a household income of £60,000 per annum. These thresholds have not been changed in this AMR.
3.76	
Therefore, while the costs (including service charges) of intermediate ownership products such as London Shared Ownership and Discounted Market Sale (where they meet the National Planning Policy Framework and London Plan definition of affordable housing) should be affordable to households on incomes of £90,000 or less, the costs for all intermediate rented products (including London Living Rent, Discounted Market Rent, Affordable Private Rent and Intermediate Rent) should be affordable to households on incomes of £60,000 or less.
3.77	
For dwellings to be considered affordable, annual housing costs, including mortgage payments (assuming reasonable interest rates and deposit 
requirements11), rent and service charge, should be no greater than 40 per 
cent of a household's net income.
3.78	
Local planning authorities should seek to ensure that intermediate provision provides for households with a range of incomes below the upper limit average housing costs (including service charges for Shared Ownership and Discounted Market Sale homes), should be affordable by households on annual incomes of £56,200 a year. This is calculated as the mid-point of the 
11	
The Affordable Housing and Viability Supplementary Planning Guidance advises that a repayment mortgage of 25 years with a 90 per cent loan to value ratio should be assumed for shared ownership upper income threshold of £90,000 and a lower threshold of £22,400 that was derived by increasing the previous year's threshold by RPI. This lower threshold has also not been increased in this AMR.

3.79	
On this basis, average housing costs for Shared Ownership and Discounted Market Sale, including service charges, should be no more than £1,311 a month or £303 a week (calculated on the basis of 40 per cent of net income, with net income being assumed to be 70 per cent of gross income of 56,200), the same as in the previous AMR. Similarly, for intermediate rent products average housing costs, including service charges should be affordable by households with an annual income of £41,200, resulting in maximum housing costs of £11,536 a year, which is £961 a month or £222 a week.
3.80	 These figures could be used for monitoring purposes, and the income 
caps are also applied by the GLA to determine eligibility for GLA funded intermediate products.

## Local Affordable Housing Policies

3.81	
Paragraph 50 of the National Planning Policy Framework (March 2012) requires all boroughs which have identified a need for affordable housing to set out policies for meeting this need. London Plan Policy 3.11 states that targets should be consistent with the overall strategic target of at least 17,000 affordable homes in London each year (this target relates to the 2015 London Plan, increased from 13,200 in the 2011 Plan). Boroughs are free to set targets in absolute or percentage terms. The London Plan sets out a range of issues boroughs should consider (for example, capacity, viability, balanced communities). Table 3.39 shows adopted and emerging borough affordable housing targets.

## Achieving An Inclusive Environment

Accessible dwellings

3.82	 Since 1 October 2015, the accessibility of dwellings in London has been 
defined by compliance with the London Plan policy on accessible housing which refers to the following design standards found in Part M Volume 1 of the Building Regulations: •	M4(1) Visitable dwellings •	M4(2) Accessible and adaptable dwellings •	M4(3) Wheelchair user dwellings (wheelchair accessible or wheelchair 
adaptable)
3.83	 M4(1) is the basic standard for all new-build dwellings. LDD monitors 
compliance with the higher standards of M4(2) and M4(3) at scheme level as these are the standards required by the London Plan policy.
3.84	 The standards contained within Part M fully replaced accessible housing 
standards used previously, with M4(2) roughly equating to the old Lifetime Homes standard and M4(3) roughly equating to the previous Wheelchair Accessible Housing Standard. M4(2) and M4(3) are 'optional' and can only be applied if they are 'switched on' by adopted local planning policy and required by planning condition. Unlike Lifetime Homes and Wheelchair Housing standards, the optional Building Regulations standards only apply to newbuild dwellings. Furthermore they are exclusive, meaning only one accessible housing standard can apply to a dwelling (previously a dwelling that met the Wheelchair Accessible Housing standard would also meet the Lifetime Homes standard). London Plan policy therefore states that 90 per cent of new-build dwellings should meet M4(2) and 10 per cent M4(3).
3.85	 The figures in both tables are 'gross' approvals calculated at scheme level. 
This means that units could be counted twice where a revised application for part of a scheme is approved within the same year as the original permission (usually through details or reserved matters applications). Only schemes that are 100 per cent new-build are included. Percentages are shown rather than absolute numbers to avoid confusion as total units will be different to the total approvals in the Housing Monitor, and because the London Plan policy requirement is expressed in percentage terms.
3.86	 Table 3.40 shows the compliance with M4(2) and M4(3) during 2017/18. 
The total of 66 per cent meeting M4(2) is well below the 90 per cent policy requirement and less than the 76 per cent recorded in AMR14. In addition, 7 
per cent of dwellings comply with M4(3), meaning that 73 per cent of newbuild dwellings are achieving M4(2) or M4(3) standards in London, which is some way off the 100 per cent policy coverage target.

3.87	
M4(2) and M4(3) must be required by condition on the planning permission to be valid, so a commitment to meet these standards in the Design and Access statement or any other application document is not sufficient. The transition to a more rigorous assessment of the presence of a condition in determining compliance with these standards could account for the lower than expected level of compliance. Also, details and reserved matters permissions following on from schemes designed prior to the adoption of the new standard, are not usually given a new condition related to accessibility. Finally, some planning authorities may not require compliance on small schemes. None of these issues, however, would explain the fall since last year. This may be the result of inclusion of Lifetime Homes / Wheelchair dwellings compliant units in the data for 2016/17.

Notes: Only schemes that are 100 per cent new-build are included in the above table. Split schemes (some new-build and some conversion of existing buildings) are not taken into account. M4(2) and M4(3) replaced Lifetime Homes and Wheelchair Accessible Homes standards in London on all approvals granted from 01/10/2015 onwards. Although homes may be designed to these standards, they are only counted if compliance with these standards is conditioned in the decision notice.

Specialist housing for older people

3.88	 The 2015 London Plan introduced new strategic benchmarks to inform local 
targets for specialist housing for older people. The benchmarks are for delivery over ten years. Table 3.41 shows the delivery so far by borough.

## Affordable Student Accommodation

3.89	 The Mayor's Housing SPG (2016) states that the Mayor will publish, in his 
Annual Monitoring Report for the London Plan, the annual rental cost for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) that is considered affordable for the coming academic year. As set out in the Housing SPG, the annual rental cost for affordable PBSA equates to 55 per cent of the maximum student maintenance loan for living costs available to a UK full-time student in London living away from home for that academic year. For the academic year 2018/19 the annual rental cost for affordable PBSA must not exceed £6,245.

## Environment And Transport Ptal Map

3.90	 Figure 3.10 displays the Public Transport Access Levels (PTALs) for London. 
In several important areas of planning policy (for example housing density and parking provision), the London Plan uses PTALs to calculate compliance with the density matrix. Datasets are available from Transport for London (TfL). The PTAL map is the same as shown in the last AMR. TfL are currently in the process of producing an updated version.
3.91	
TfL's WebCAT tool-kit can be used to measure transport connectivity using PTAL and Time Mapping analysis. Further information can be found at: https:// tfl.gov.uk/info-for/urban-planning-and-construction/planning-with-webcat/ webcat?intcmp=25932.

## Crossrail Funding

3.92	 Crossrail is a £17.6bn investment in public transport that will contribute to 
accommodating economic growth and a rising population within London. Under the Crossrail funding agreement with the government, the Mayor had to raise £600m by the end of March 2019 from developer contributions via a combination of Crossrail section 106 planning obligations (s106) and Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy (MCIL) payments. The London boroughs and Mayoral Development Corporations collect MCIL on the Mayor's behalf. By the deadline, this figure had been exceeded by £126m.
3.93	 New arrangements are now in place, with the Mayoral CIL Charging Schedule 
(2012) and the Mayoral Crossrail Funding Planning Obligations SPG (2016) now superseded by new charges in the revised MCIL Charging Schedule, called MCIL2. These new rates came into effect on 1 April 2019 following public consultations on both a preliminary draft charging schedule (June 2017) and draft charging schedule (December 2017). An independent examination was held in September 2018 and a favourable examiner's report received in November 2018.
3.94	 In 2018, the Mayor committed to borrow £1.3bn from the Department for 
Transport to help complete the Crossrail project, and receipts from 2019/20 MCIL will be used to help service and repay this borrowing over a period of approximately ten years.
3.95	 Table 3.42 shows funding secured for Crossrail to the end of 2018/19 
financial year from each funding stream. The CIL regulations 2010 (as amended) require the Mayor to report on various aspects of how CIL receipts are being spent. This is set out in Table 3.43. It is not possible to link CIL to a specific type of Crossrail expenditure as the proceeds are transferred into the Sponsor Funding Account (SFA), which then draws on the total to be spent in line with the project's requirements. The amount of CIL 'in hand' is zero, as all of it is transferred to the SFA to fund the Crossrail scheme on a quarterly basis.

## Progress On Regional Flood Risk Appraisal Recommendations

3.96	 The Regional Flood Risk Appraisal (RFRA) first review was published in 
August 2014, updating the previous (2009) RFRA. Progress against its recommendations is set out in Table 3.44 below.
3.97	
A new review of the RFRA to support the Mayor's draft new London Plan was published in the Autumn 2018. Its revised set of recommendations will be used in the next AMR.
3.98	 The Mayor published his London Sustainable Drainage Action Plan (LSDAP) 
in December 2016. The Action Plan contains 40 actions, mainly focused on retrofitting sustainable drainage measures, and progress against those actions is being reported on a rolling basis at https://www.london.gov.uk/ what-we-do/environment/climate-change/surface-water/london-sustainabledrainage-action-plan.

Planning Authorities continue to update their SFRAs, DPDs and Local Plans where necessary, on which there is close liaison with the Environment Agency. Most London boroughs have in place Local Plan policies which make reference to Thames Estuary 2100, or have proposed such policies in their draft Local Plans.

Richmond, Kingston, Hounslow and Wandsworth all have policies in their Local Plans to address flood risk management from all sources. Greenwich has up-to-date Local Plan policies in place to enable the potential safeguarding of land needs around the existing Thames Barrier. Any major land take for a new flood barrier will be outside London. Tidal influences are generally taken into account in the SFRAs. Modelling addresses the interaction of fluvial and tidal flood risk at confluences.

The Environment Agency continues to work with local authorities to ensure SFRAs, Local Plan policies, Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks and planning applications apply these flood risk management measures as a standard. The Environment Agency is also encouraging the development of a 'riverside strategy' approach to ensure that these principles are embedded within regeneration and redevelopment opportunities.

In strategic developments reviewed by the GLA, many developments achieve greenfield run-off rates. However, these schemes often rely on attenuation tanks. GLA officers promote the use of 'green' sustainable drainage techniques, which can deliver a wider range of benefits and feature higher in the hierarchy. There is also more emphasis on such techniques in the drainage hierarchy of the draft new London Plan policy. A new London-wide drainage pro-forma has been co-developed between the GLA and lead Local Flood Authorities to provide consistency across London in terms of what information is needed as part of a drainage strategy and how it should be formatted. This pro-forma was rolled out in April 2019. Thames Water continues to address localised sewer flooding problems. Specifically related to Counters Creek catchment in west London, Thames Water no longer intends to pursue installation of a large storm relief sewer. Instead the aim is to reduce sewer flooding through a combination of non-return valve installations, targeted sustainable drainage measures, and local pipe upgrades. As SFRAs are reviewed, this is starting to be included, and it is also being addressed in some site specific FRAs. However, poor data quality may prevent more detailed consideration.

As SFRAs are reviewed, this is being considered, and is being addressed in some site specific FRAs as well. This is generally being achieved for developments greater than 1 hectare with flood risk from any source. The GLA has led work with the Environment Agency, relevant boroughs and water companies to promote Integrated Water Management Strategies (IWMSs) at major development locations including Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea, Old Oak and Park Royal, the Charlton to Crayford Riverfront and Old Kent Road. Work is also starting on the Isle of Dogs, Thamesmead and Royal Docks. The GLA, again working closely with the Environment Agency, is also helping to inform the Sustainable Drainage Strategy for the Old Oak North development area, working with the OPDC Team. In addition, the Environment Agency's Sustainable Places Team is engaging with London boroughs at the preapplication stage.

Through the London Sustainable Drainage Action Plan work-streams, the GLA is working with TfL and London boroughs to increase the rollout of sustainable drainage systems across their transport networks/assets. In addition to providing design advice on major transport projects to help incorporate SuDS, the GLA has also supported TfL in the development of SuDS component concept design statements and a highways SuDS training programme to embed surface water flood risk management into standard practice. TfL, supported by the London Climate Change Partnership, hosts a Transport Adaptation Steering Group that looks at climate adaptation measures across transport infrastructure and strategies for improving transport sector resilience. TfL has also produced a sector-based climate adaptation plan to set out how to improve and monitor performance on adaptation. London Underground's comprehensive investigation into flood risk to their assets and infrastructure is in its second phase, due for completion this Financial Year.

Through Drain London the GLA has undertaken work to examine surface water flood risk at hospital and emergency services sites across London. Each London borough also has its own Multi-Agency Flood Plan, which should identify critical infrastructure/ vulnerable sites at risk of flooding. The London Resilience Forum provides a centralised forum for coordination of emergency response efforts across London. Through Drain London, the GLA has undertaken work to examine surface water flood risk at secondary school sites across London. The LSDAP also identifies school sites as having a good range of opportunities to implement more sustainable drainage measures. Each London borough also has its own Multi-Agency Flood Plan, which should identify education facilities at risk.

The updated 2017 RFRA provides a more up-to-date and accurate picture of flood risk to strategic utilities. Electricity: Critical sub-stations and other assets are being upgraded and made more resilient by National Grid. Water/Sewerage: Investment to improve mitigation/resilience of assets to flooding are taking place. Water companies are prioritising based on site-specific flood risk assessments. The London Resilience Partnership has worked with multiple sectors to map out infrastructure interdependencies using the Anytown approach. This helps to identify the potential for cascading failures due to disruption in one sector.

## Planning London Local Plans

3.99	 The National Planning Policy Framework requires local planning authorities to 
produce a Local Plan for their area. In law (Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004) the documents that make up the Local Plan are described as the development plan documents (DPDs). There is good coverage of Local Plans across London, with 34 adopted and 16 under review. 
3.100	 Under the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 
2012, Regulation 18 requires Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) to notify the Mayor of the subject of a Local Plan. This is the Preparation Stage. The Mayor will endeavour to provide comments to the LPAs at this stage but is not required to respond to the consultation. Under Regulation 19, before submitting the Local Plan to the Secretary of State, LPAs must make a copy of the proposed submission documents available and must request an opinion from the Mayor as to the general conformity of their Local Plans (Regulation 21) with the London Plan. This is the Publication Stage. The Mayor has six weeks to respond to the consultation. The Mayor will respond to Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) and Neighbourhood Plans only where strategic policy issues are raised.
3.101	 In order to achieve general conformity with the London Plan, in accordance 
with Section 24(1) (b) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Mayor works pro-actively with the boroughs, commenting on and holding meetings to discuss informal drafts of documents and meetings to discuss the Mayor's response to consultations.
3.102	 Table 3.45 shows the status of the Local Plan in each of London's 35 planning 
authorities (updated in June 2019) and any plan documents that were either reviewed or adopted in 2018.
3.103	 Guidance on plan making can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/planmaking.

## Opportunity Areas

3.104	 Opportunity Areas (OAs) have the potential to deliver a substantial number of 
the new homes and jobs that London needs. Details of London's OAs and a summary of the objectives can be found in Annex 1 of the 2016 London Plan. There are 38 OAs listed in the 2016 London Plan, however only those with an adopted planning framework are included in the tables below. The Olympic Legacy Supplementary Planning Guidance (OLSPG) boundary has been used in preference to the Lower Lea Valley OA.
3.105	 Table 3.46 shows conventional residential completions during 2017/18 and 
Table 3.47 shows the pipeline of residential units at 31/03/2018 in the OAs with adopted planning frameworks.
3.106	 A map of London's OAs with adopted planning frameworks is available 
on the GLA's website (https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/planning/ implementing-london-plan/opportunity-areas/opportunity-areas-map-0). The map includes the housing and jobs indicative targets for each area, along with the homes completed and in the pipeline. This housing data is drawn directly from the live LDD so may differ from the figures published here.
3.107	 GLA Planning are currently working on an Opportunity Areas status report, 
a survey of growth in London's many OAs. Its purpose is to show how coordination across boroughs and the Mayor's agencies unlocks and accelerates growth opportunities. London's Opportunity Areas Report also supports the monitoring and review processes set up within many OAs to ensure supporting infrastructure is delivered at the correct pace for the housing and jobs growth.

This innovative housing scheme successfully accommodates 50 per cent affordable housing within a compact 'S'-shaped block plan, resulting in an efficient use of the site, optimal residential density and a high proportion of dual aspect units. The building was built on a previously vacant brownfield site, and is inspired by the rich industrial heritage of the area whilst complementing the Victorian and Georgian properties in the locality. An ambitious and design-led estate regeneration scheme that transforms the former Ferrier Estate through 
a 109-hectare masterplan. Work 
commenced in 2007 and has now reached the half way stage, with 1,579 housing units completed. A total of 4,800 homes are to be delivered by 2030 of which 35 per cent will be affordable. The masterplan includes an impressive mix of housing types and tenures based on a series of strong place making principles, including high quality green open space and a 'village centre', creating a strong sense of community.

The applicant demonstrated a positive collaborative dialogue with the Local Planning Authority that has helped produce a highly sustainable workspace with active frontages at ground floor level and a new public access through the back of the development. The physical alterations have not only brought a building of merit back to life, they have significantly enhanced the workspace and environment inside and out. The finished design respects the original architecture and creates workspace that inspires its new occupants, is durable and secures this important corner building for another generation.

It was important for this regeneration scheme to respect the history of a media complex that is very familiar to the public. The best and most recognised elements of the buildings have been preserved and creatively adapted to accommodate a wide range of new uses. The result is a very high-quality mixed-use scheme that provides first class residential accommodation, offices, retail and health facilities. Not only are there hints of the previous media activities throughout the development, it successfully retains some of the broadcasting activities it is so well known for from the past to give a genuine integrated multi-use development.

This huge operational site for Thames Water was previously closed to the public until the London Borough of Waltham Forest persuaded Thames Water to grant them a 25-year lease and allow public access. It is now the largest urban wetland nature reserve in Europe that celebrates both the rich wetland habitats as well as the area's rich industrial heritage. A locally listed Victorian power station was converted into a new visitor centre including a café, shop, exhibition and education space. There are  works on a listed copper mill to create a viewing platform over the wetlands and two kilometres of boardwalk have been laid out for walkers and cyclists. There is a vast schools programme and the wetlands centre is attracting high visitor numbers. The project attracted £4million of investment including £600,000 from the Mayor to sensitively repair and re-purpose this grade II listed former fire station which was previously on the Historic England's Buildings At Risk Register. The new gallery spaces successfully preserve and enhance the building's special heritage value through a thorough designled approach and the completed project represents an exemplar for re-purposing derelict buildings of heritage value.

This ongoing estate regeneration in the London Borough of Camden will result in the provision of 493 new homes to existing and future residents, of which 345 will be built to Passivhaus Standards. The largest scheme of this kind in the UK, the Passivhaus specification ensures improvements in air quality and reductions in energy demand and consumption. Meanwhile, the masterplan will enhance the public realm and connections with the surrounding area An exemplar of highly sustainable and flexible workspace within the City Fringe opportunity area, the scheme includes openable windows to maximise natural ventilation and occupier comfort levels, a double level cycle hub and a structural frame designed to enable future adaptation over a 100-year lifespan. The building is designed to achieve a 25% reduction in operational carbon emissions over that of a conventional office block and achieves BREEAM Outstanding and LEED Platinum credentials.

Developed by 'The Community Brain', who in partnership with RB Kingston, secured £385,239 of GLA's Good Growth Funding, the SHEDx project responds to Tolworth's context and 'quick win' projects identified in the Tolworth Area Plan - by giving all of Tolworth's communities a voice in the area's anticipated regeneration. The judges were impressed by the energy and breadth of imagination given to creating a 15-month programme designed to create a new community narrative for Tolworth. Lambeth Council designed a pioneering public engagement methodology to identify local priorities for investment from their Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy. The project demonstrated genuine community participation from the outset with local residents and businesses taking the lead on creating an area wide strategy called the Co-operative Local Investment Plan (CLIP) which was published in early 2018 and has resulted in a total of 1,160 projects for the Norwood area stemming from 690 respondents.

The London Borough of Hackney has demonstrated a very forward-thinking approach to estate regeneration. From the outset, Hackney has been very engaged with the existing community, listened to what they wanted from the project and involved them in an iterative design process. Hackney entered into a joint venture partnership with developer Anthology to build some private housing to crosssubsidise delivery of the wider project. The blocks that have been delivered so far are high quality and tenure blind, and the estate is being fundamentally transformed. For its effective use of land to deliver increased housing in an environmentally-sustainable manner, in close dialogue with the local community, resulting in improvements for existing and future residents.
