Executive Summary 
1. 
2007 has been a landmark year for planning in London.  Important steps have been made in 
implementing the policies of the London Plan and many of the plan's Key Performance Indicators in Appendix 1 show positive trends. 2. 
The Further Alterations to the London Plan were subject to an Examination in Public and were 
published in February 2008 and known as the London Plan (Consolidated with Alterations since 2004). 3. 
In terms of development, there has been continued investment in housing across the city since 
the last AMR was published. The original housing target has been exceeded by a substantial margin, with over 31,000 additional units delivered in 2006/7.  This is particularly important as it demonstrated the deliverability of the new housing target of 30,500 units which applies from April 2007. 4. 
There has been progress on several major development schemes anticipated in the London Plan.  
Work has continued apace planning for the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics with the granting of outline planning permission and the subsequent pursuance of details.  Outline planning permission was also granted for Kings Cross. 5. 
There has been progress on two major transport projects that underpin the London Plan.  
Crossrail and Thameslink both got the go ahead from Government in 2007.  Other important schemes realised real progress too with the opening of the CTRL to St Pancras and construction 
work on the East London Line. 
 
Scope and Purpose 6. 
This is the fourth Annual Monitoring Report (AMR4).  The AMR is the central component of the 
statutory monitoring process required to assess the effectiveness of the London Plan. It takes account of national monitoring indicators, as well as those set out in the plan and others which 
illuminate more specific challenges for London. 7. 
As with previous AMRs, AMR4 assesses the overall performance of the plan relative to key issues 
and trends reported during 2007.  The figures in the Appendices generally relate to the period 
April 2006-March 2007, although in some cases it is only previous years' data that are available. The report draws on many data sources, but of particular importance is the London 
Development Database.  Where possible a time series of data is given to help show trends.  The 
Appendices also note that there are some areas where proxy data have to be used, where data 
are not up to date or not available at all. 8. 
The experience gained in preparing the previous 3 AMRs has led to some changes in the Key 
Performance Indicators for the London Plan.   These will not be reported on until AMR5 in 
February 2009 and have recently been published in the revised London Plan (Feb 2008).  The 
notable changes are the alteration of the housing target to 30,500 dwellings per annum with 
effect from April 2007, the addition of 2 Indicators on Health, one on childcare and one on 
education and the tweaking of a number of sustainability related Indicators to reflect new environmental targets. 
9. 
The scope of the Annual Monitoring Report is outlined in chapter 6B of the London Plan. In line with this, it has been drafted to reflect the overall policy direction of the plan and does not attempt to measure and monitor each of its policies individually.  The AMR will continue to be 
useful in keeping the London Plan under review and up to date. 10. 
This London Plan Annual Monitoring Report should not be confused with either the Mayor's 
Annual Report or the State of the Environment Report.   
 
11. 
The Mayor's Annual Report is required by the GLA Act 1999.  The sixth report was published in 
May 2007 covering the period 2006/07 and describes the Mayor and GLA's objectives and 
targets, performance in the sixth year of operation, how well the Authority has engaged with 
Londoners in setting these objectives and how it will review and improve its operation to deliver 
best value to Londoners.  The report is available on the website www.london.gov.uk  
 
12. 
The State of the Environment Report is also required by the GLA Act 1999 and must be 
produced every 4 years.  The first Report was published in May 2003 and is available on the website.  In 2007 the second State of the Environment Report was published, it is available at 
http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/environment/soereport.jsp and reports progress on many 
aspects of London's environment.  The State of Environment Report is a valuable source of 
detailed environmental data covering 36 specific indicators.  There is some limited overlap with some of the key performance indicators detailed in Appendix 1 of this report.

14. 
The London Plan was first published in February 2004.  It has been re-published on 19th 
February 2008 with consolidated alterations since 2004.  Its policies are becoming better understood by all stakeholders and are increasingly reflected in the quality, nature and scale of 
new development across London. However, there is still some way to go before the strategic direction of development in London is in proper 'general conformity' with the plan's policies.  
For example, changes to the planning system introduced by the Planning and Compulsory 
Purchase Act 2004 were intended to ensure that the old Unitary Development Plans (some of 
which have been in place for more than 10 years) would be re-written within 3 years. However, many boroughs have encountered delays in producing their Development Plan Documents and this is slowing down the translation of strategic policy into local policy documents. 
15. 
Nevertheless the tables contained within Appendix 1 of this report demonstrate that many of 
the key monitoring targets for the London Plan are being met.  In particular the delivery of new 
housing has continued to be significantly above historic pre-London Plan levels at over 31 000 units in 2006/7.  This is particularly significant as it demonstrates the ability to achieve the 
target of 30,500 which the amended London Plan sets and which will be monitored against from 
April 2007 and will be reported in AMR5. 16. 
The London Plan also has a vital role in co-ordinating and securing the necessary infrastructure 
to support London's growth.  This infrastructure covers transport, utilities, education, health and social facilities.  The Mayor has sought to engage with the providers of these facilities to ensure 
that their plans complement the statutory, over-arching framework provided by the London Plan. While there is still work to be done in this area, especially in terms of social infrastructure, 
there is an increasing level of integration between strategic planning and infrastructure delivery.  
These issues will be explored further in a series of Sub regional Implementation Frameworks to 
be published during 2008/9. 17. 
Outline planning permission has been granted for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012.  
Whilst this leaves a large amount of detailed planning work to be resolved over the next year, it marks a major stage in the progress toward hosting the events.  Up to date progress can be 
checked on the Olympic Delivery Authority website http://www.london2012.com/index.php  
and the London Development Agency Website 
http://www.lda.gov.uk/server/show/nav.00100h003 18. 
2007 has seen major progress in keeping the London Plan up to date.  The Further Alterations 
to the London Plan were subject to an Examination in Public during June and July 2007.  The EIP Panel report was been received and the amended London Plan, which also includes the Early Alterations was published in February 2008.  A new web based version of the Plan's policies is 
also available http://www.london.gov.uk/thelondonplan .  The Mayor intends to keep the 
London Plan under review and has indicated his willingness to carry out further alterations when necessary. 19. 
There has been major progress on some of the key transport projects which underpin London's 
sustainable growth.  The Government has confirmed the go ahead for two major rail projects within London, Crossrail and Thameslink.  The construction of the East London Line upgrade and extension is progressing toward the opening of the first phase in 2010. 
20. 
In terms of housing provision, the new target of 30,500 has applied since April 2007.  AMR 5 
will report on progress against that target.   The 2006-7 monitoring figure of 31,432 dwellings 
represents a major advance in housing delivery and a level of delivery which will need to be 
maintained over future years in order to continue to meet London Plan targets.  Private sector 
house prices have continued to grow above the general rate of inflation over the year although there have been variations and some slight decreases in prices reported in certain markets.   
Further integration of housing and planning activity will be supported by the Mayor's new housing powers and his new Housing Strategy. Progress against the London Plan's Six Objectives 
 
Objective 1 
To accommodate London's growth within its boundaries without 
encroaching on open spaces.   
 
 
21. 
The London Plan is clear that development should make the most efficient use of land, be 
focused on already used land and should not encroach upon parks, Green Belt, designated open 
spaces and other environmental assets such as rivers and canals.   
 
22. 
The London Development Database figures indicate that of the housing development permitted 
in 2006/7, the vast majority, 98% of all units, were permitted on previously developed land. This year's AMR also contains reliable figures on completions, this shows 97% being delivered on previously developed land.  These figures put London far ahead of all other UK regions and 
well above the national 60% target (see Tables 7 & 8 in Appendix 1 for more detailed breakdown). 23. 
Densities for planning permissions across London have increased again in 2006/7 to 137 
units/hectare.  For the first time this year there is also a reliable figure for completions.  This shows a slight, but expected lag behind permissions with a figure of 127 dwellings/hectare.   
The trend here is steadily upward, although a small number of boroughs with already low 
densities have recorded a reduction. 
Objective 2 
To make London a better city for people to live in. 24. 
The provision of an adequate supply of new homes, particularly affordable homes, is a central plank of the London Plan.  The Housing Capacity Study 2004 was a key input to the Early Alterations of the London Plan and provided an authoritative basis for increasing the annual target from 23,000 to 30,500 from April 2007.  Performance against this higher target will be reported from AMR5 in February 2008.  It is recognised that this target is a challenging one but 2006/7 delivery of 31,432 homes demonstrates that it is achievable.  There continues to be a generous pipeline of planning approvals to support further growth, with over 59,000 more units 
granted permission in 2006/7. 
25. 
This monitoring is suggesting that the London Plan policy is working in increasing housing 
provision.  It will need to remain the focus of attention in order to continue this level of provision and continue to meet the 30,500 target.  It is notable that any significant slow down in 
the housing market is likely to have the effect of increasing the number of vacant properties, 
thereby reducing the available homes.   
26. 
Of the 28,737 new homes constructed 9,209 units were affordable.  This is an increase of 20% compared to the previous year and represents 34% of new build.  The effective operation of 
planning policy, together with the public subsidy available through the Housing Corporation has 
maintained this level of affordable housing provision.  London Plan policies are progressing 
delivery in the right direction but a continued focus on affordable housing is required to move 
closer to the Mayor's target of 50% of overall provision.   The updating of the affordability 
thresholds for social and intermediate housing is given in Appendix 7. 27. 
In 2007 the Government formally passed responsibility to the Mayor for drawing up a statutory 
housing strategy for London and setting the broad direction of public housing investment across 
the city. The Mayor's Draft Housing Strategy, http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/housing/strategy/index.jsp 
published for initial consultation in September 2007, includes a Strategic Housing Investment Plan which will deliver 50,000 affordable homes over the 2008-11 spending period and align the 
funding priorities of major public sector investors in London. The Mayor will also chair the 
London board of the new Homes and Communities Agency, ensuring a stronger and more 
coherent approach to supporting new housing and renewal in London. Appendix 8 of this year's AMR contains the Housing Provision in London Annual Monitor, which was previously published 
as a separate document Objective 3 
To make London a more prosperous city. 28. 
London's economy has continued its' recent strong growth and grew at an annualised rate of 
4.6 per cent in Q3 2007 (Experian Business Strategies). This was faster than the growth rate of the UK economy as a whole at 3.2 per cent (Experian Business Strategies). Particularly strong growth was seen in the financial and business services sectors. However, the credit crunch and recent financial market uncertainty will slow this strong growth rate down. 2008 is expected to see slower growth than 2007, with the downside risks associated with a possible recession in the 
US. 
 
Objective 4 
To promote social inclusion and tackle deprivation and Discrimination 
 
 
29. 
An important aspect of the London Plan is its broad focus on issues wider than land use.  The 
Key Performance Indicators under this objective aim to ensure that the gap between 
disadvantaged groups and the rest of London is narrowed.  This is a challenging aim but one 
that is essential to ensure a sustainable future for a diverse city.  The positive news is that the indicators such as the proportion of single parents on income support and unemployment rates 
amongst BME communities are coming down.  The disappointing news is that these rates are also coming down in the baseline communities, rest of GB and white population respectively, therefore the gap, ie the inequality is continuing or even widening. 30. 
It is encouraging that the "floor targets" measured by government for the most deprived 
boroughs show improvement in many areas.  It is notable that the levels of employment have 
not gone up in several boroughs and whilst there is a limit to the direct influence that the London Plan can have on this, the Mayor is seeking further powers in relation to the Learning and Skills Councils within London. 31. 
During 2007 the Mayor published Planning for Equality and Diversity in London Supplementary 
Planning Guidance http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/strategies/sds/spg-planning-for-diversity.jsp, Health 
Issues in Planning Best Practice Guidance http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/strategies/sds/bpghealth.jsp and Wheelchair Accessible Housing BPG http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/strategies/sds/bpgwheelchair-acc-housing.jsp 32. 
The establishment of a Children and Young People's Unit at the GLA has provided a strategic 
resource to identify the needs of children and young people within London. The Mayor has 
included affordable childcare as one of his priorities for S106 agreements. 
 
Objective 5 
To improve London's accessibility. 
 
 
33. 
2007 has been a year of major progress toward implementing many of the large scale public 
transport projects that the Mayor advocates, these are briefly set out below.  There has also 
been a continued trend of increased use of public transport both in absolute terms and in relation to use of the private car.  In particular there has been a continued fall in the number of 
vehicles on the London's roads.  Since 2001 there has been a drop of 5% in private vehicle use 
against a 15% increase in public transport across London.   There has been steady progress on the major transport projects in London as set out below. 34. 
Crossrail - The Bill has entered the House of Lords committee stage and is on course for Royal 
Assent in summer 2008.  A major step forward occurred in October 2007 when the Prime Minister announced that the funding package had been agreed.  Construction work is expected to begin in 2010 and be completed in 2017. 35. 
East London Line - Construction work has continued on the first phase between Dalston 
Junction and, via a short connection at New Cross Gate, Crystal Palace and West Croydon.  This 
work is still on target for completion in June 2010 with the further extension of services to 
Highbury and Islington to be commenced in February 2011.  Phase two will extend the line west to Clapham Junction via a new spur from Surrey Quays to Queens Road Peckham.  The line will form part of the London Overground network. 
 
36. 
DLR and extensions - 2007 has seen considerable progress on DLR upgrades with the opening 
of a new station at Langdon Park and the completion of tunneling work for the Woolwich 
Arsenal extension, this is expected to open in February 2009.  The extension of the DLR to 
Stratford International station is on course for completion in mid 2010 and the preferred route for the Dagenham Dock extension has been finalized. 37. 
The **Channel Tunnel Rail Link** project opened on time in November 2007.  The renovation and 
extension of St Pancras station has been very well received and all Eurostar International services now use this station.  The domestic services using the route to access North Kent are expected to commence in 2009.  Services are planned to be altered during the Olympic and Paralympic Games to provide extra capacity to Stratford, this will be known as the Javelin service. 38. 
Thameslink– Funding for the Thameslink project was announced in summer 2007 and 
construction work has begun on stations outside London.  The major construction works at Blackfriars, Farrringdon and Borough Viaduct will begin in January 2009 and the major remodelling of the tracks to the east of London Bridge will commence in late 2012.  The scheme is expected to be complete by 2015 but in the interim will offer major capacity increases prior to the 2012 Olympics. 39. 
Thames Gateway Bridge - In July 2007 the Government announced that it wishes to hear 
more evidence of the implications of the scheme and will re-open the Public Inquiry.  A date for 
the reopening of the public inquiry has not yet been set, but TfL estimates this will be in Spring 
2009. 
40. 
Tram and light transit schemes –The East London Transit project between Ilford and 
Dagenham via Barking town centre is due to open in Autumn 2009.  The Greenwich Waterfront 
Transit scheme is proposed to be operational from Autumn 2011, this will run between North Greenwich and Abbey Wood, via Woolwich and Thamesmead.   The two services will form the Thames Gateway Transit as they would be linked by the proposed Thames Gateway Bridge.  In November 2007 £100 million was allocated from the Community Infrastructure Fund to invest in 
13 local transport schemes.  Given the positive decision on Crossrail and the benefits that it brings for public transport in west London, a decision on the West London Tram is being put on hold.  TfL and the local boroughs will work together to address the problem of improving public transport on the Uxbridge Road, via an effective bus-based solution rather than a tram.   TfL 
have completed consultation on the Cross River Tram. 
Objective 6 
To make London a more attractive, well-designed and green city  
 
41. 
The London Plan contains policies to ensure that London's development is sustainable.  This is 
of fundamental importance to achieving the Mayor's Vision.  It includes promoting excellence in 
urban design, protection of biodiversity and open spaces, improving air quality, minimising noise and other pollution, promoting sustainable waste handling and minimising the use of resources. The Further Alterations to the London Plan, published in February 2008, have reinforced many 
of these policy areas and set a clear agenda both for reducing CO2 emissions and for addressing 
the inevitable climate change impacts that London will face.   
 
42. 
The Mayor together with Richard Rogers, his Chief Advisor on Architecture and Urbanism, 
launched the 100 public spaces programme in July 2002. These will be delivered through a programme of partnership projects over the coming years.  5 projects have now been completed, 
and a further 40 announced.  All 100 projects will be announced by 2012. Details of the Mayor's 
100 
Public 
Spaces 
Programme 
are 
available 
at: 
http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/auu/publications.jsp#100ps 
 
43. 
The Government announced the go ahead for the Thames Tideway Sewer project in March 
2007.  This £2bn project will be delivered in two phases.  A planning application for the first phase is expected in Spring 2008 and completion of the final project is programmed for 2020. 44. 
The Low Emission Zone was introduced in February 2008.  It covers virtually all of London and 
affects commercial vehicles.  Further details can be found at www.tfl.gov.uk/lezlondon 45. 
The Mayor is also preparing a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy which will be a first for a 
world city .  It sets out to address the inevitable impacts that Climate Change will have on 
London and policies and actions to ensure that London can continue to successfully function.  It will be published for public consultation in the summer of 2008. 46. 
The Mayor is working to improve opportunities to enjoy contact with nature in the Areas of 
Deficiency in access to nature. Habitat enhancement work is progressing on 16 sites spread 
across London; when these projects are completed the Areas of Deficiency in access to nature 
will be reduced by 5 sq km and some 200 000 Londoners will have improved access to nature. Some of the projects, such as two river restoration projects, are long-term in nature. When they reach fruition the Areas of Deficiency will be decreased still further. 
 
Progress on the Sub Regional Implementation Frameworks (SRIF) 47. 
The Examination in Public Panel Report endorsed the Mayor's proposal to alter sub regional 
implementation of the London Plan.  Therefore the Mayor and GLA family are now working to 
the new sub regional boundaries as set out below. 48. 
A key element of this work is to develop a SRIF for each of the 5 sub regions.  The SRIFs will be 
more implementation focused than their predecessor Sub Regional Development Frameworks 
and will contain tables of actions aimed at assisting in the delivery of London Plan targets. SRIFs will also replace the LDA's Sub Regional Economic Development Frameworks.

## 

Progress on Supplementary Planning Guidance, Best Practice Guidance and other Mayoral 
Strategies. 49. 
Following the publication of the London Plan, the Mayor has been producing a series of 
Supplementary Planning Guidance (Table 2) and Best Practice Guidance (Table 3) notes to inform  implementation of strategic policy.  The Mayor has also produced a number of other Strategies which cover important themes for London's future, see Table 4 below.  With the publication of the consolidated London Plan in February 2008, it can be expected that more of the other Mayoral Strategies will be reviewed to take account of relevant spatial changes.. 50. 
Though slower than originally anticipated, progress through 2007-8 has been good with 5 SPGs 
and 3 BPGs being published in their final form.  An updated position is given below.  In addition TfL are due to publish a Technical note on Travel Plans and Design For London will publish Urban Design Principles and Public Realm Strategy

Progress on Major Developments 51. 
Appendix 4 contains a summary of progress on implementing development for each of the 
Opportunity Areas and Areas for Intensification identified in the London Plan, as amended in 
February 2008.  In many cases development has progressed, with existing planning permissions 
being implemented.  In many cases existing masterplans or frameworks are being re-visited in light of the London Plan policies and sites are being examined to determine if they can be used 
more effectively. In a minority of cases, area development frameworks are yet to begin in earnest. 52. 
During 2007 there has been a great deal of planning work to deliver the Olympic and Paralympic 
Games, see the Olympic Delivery Authority for more details: http://www.london2012.com/en/.  
Planning permission was granted in August 2007 for three planning applications covering: 
- Site Preparation - Olympic Facilities and their Legacy transformation 
- Olympic Village (part) and Legacy residential use of Clays Lane Estate 
Since then work has continued on more detailed design and the discharging of numerous 
conditions. 53. 
Outline Planning permission has been granted for development on the railway lands north of 
Kings Cross station.  This will see the development of a large area that has been in limbo for some 40 years and will end a cycle of decline and blight that has affected a wider area.  The Kings Cross Masterplan won the Mayor's Planning Award for 2007.  Planning permission is also being sought for the redevelopment of Brent Cross-Cricklewood in an imaginative scheme that would transform this out of centre shopping mall into a London Plan compliant town centre. This scheme won the London Planning Awards Best Conceptual Project category in 2007. 54. 
Growth Area Funding (GAF) has been announced for the 5 London boroughs (Enfield, Hackney, 
Haringey, Redbridge, Waltham Forest) within the London Stansted Cambridge Peterborough 
growth corridor.   
 
Summary of Mayoral Planning Activity 55. 
Under the terms of the Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2000, the Mayor 
must be consulted on "strategic" planning applications  ("Strategic" is defined in the Order). The Mayor can comment on the merits or otherwise of particular applications and has the power to direct a borough to refuse planning permission.  The Mayor does not have the power to direct 
a borough to grant planning permission.  The Mayor is consulted at the same time the 
application is submitted to the Local Planning Authority (LPA) and will issue his initial views 
(Stage 1). If the LPA are minded to grant planning permission, it must give the Mayor 14 days to 
decide whether or not to direct refusal of that application; this is known as his final decision 
(Stage 2). 56. 
Table 5 below shows that the number of strategic planning referrals has increased significantly, 
by 30% during 2007.  This increase to 341 applications is in contrast to a roughly consistent pattern over the past 4 years. In many cases several decisions may be made in relation to one particular site.  The reasons for this include re-submission of a planning application, duplicate planning applications, applications covering more than one borough or applications that return 
to the Mayor for his final decision. 57. 
From April 2008 the Mayor will assume new planning powers.  Theses will enable the Mayor to 
determine strategic planning applications as well as direct boroughs to refuse applications as is currently the case.  The threshold limits for the scale of development constituting a referable planning application are also being altered.  The new Mayoral powers are expected to add around 35 additional referable planning applications per year, on current trends.  Further detail on the implementation of these powers will be given in AMR5 in February 2009.

64 Following Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 all local authorities are now required to 
produce a local development framework.  The local development framework is a portfolio of 
local development documents, comprising development plan documents, which are subject to three stages of statutory consultation and an independent examination into the 'soundness' of 
the plan and supplementary planning documents, which are subject to one statutory round of 
consultation and no examination.   
 
65 Every London borough produced an original local development scheme by April 2005, which set 
out the range of local development documents that would make up the boroughs Local Development Framework and a timescale for producing these.  Twenty six boroughs submitted revised local development schemes during 2007. Although it is not a statutory requirement for boroughs to consult the Mayor on draft revisions to the local development scheme most boroughs have done so, which is welcomed.  Where necessary the Mayor has made comments to 
the Government Office for London. 
 
66 All London borough local development documents are required to be in general conformity with 
the London Plan in accordance with Section 24(1)(b) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.  Boroughs are required to consult the Mayor at each statutory stage in the process of preparation of development plan documents.  They are also required to formally request the Mayor's opinion on general conformity at the same time as the document is submitted to the Secretary of State for examination.   
 
67 Boroughs are also required to consult the Mayor on supplementary planning documents to the 
extent that the council thinks he is affected by the document.  The Mayor has indicated to 
boroughs the types of documents he wishes to be consulted on (affordable housing, transport, planning obligations, sustainable development, environmental protection and climate change, waste and planning briefs for sites which could result in referable applications).  During 2007 the 
Mayor responded to 36 SPG consultations. 
 
68 Appendix 6 summarizes all the development plan related consultations that the Mayor has 
responded to in 2007.   
 
69 In order to achieve general conformity of UDPs and local development documents the Mayor 
has worked proactively with the boroughs, commenting on and holding meetings to discuss informal drafts of documents and meeting to discuss the Mayor's response to consultation.   
 
70 At the start of 2008 three boroughs (Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster) were still working 
towards adoption of a replacement UDP.  The Mayor responded to two consultations on further 
modifications (one of which was a Modification proposed to address a Direction requested by the Mayor and issued by the Secretary of State and the other in response to objections made by the Mayor and Government Office).  These UDPs have now been adopted. 
 
71 Councils with UDPs adopted before September 2004 had to submit requests to the Secretary of 
State to extend the life of UDP policy, which otherwise would have automatically expired on the 27 September 2007.  All twenty-one boroughs in this situation sought to save at least some of their policies.  The Mayor was concerned that in some cases boroughs were seeking to save policies that were not in general conformity with the London Plan and therefore made 
representations to the Secretary of State (via the Government Office).  In key areas such as affordable housing, density, safeguarding wharves, sustainable development, lifetime homes and 
wheelchair housing, tall buildings, waste, renewable energy, energy efficiency and parking standards, the Government Directed that policies should not be saved, in line with the Mayor's representations, thus deleting out of date policies that were not in general conformity with the London Plan. 
 
72 There are nine boroughs who have yet to reach issues and options stage for their Core Strategy.  
However, they are all boroughs with a recently adopted UDP and/or are producing other DPDs in advance of the Core Strategy.  Two boroughs (Tower Hamlets and Islington) have been directed by the Secretary of State to withdraw their core strategies after Submission stage (at 
the boroughs request) and will therefore have to begin the process again. 
 
73 In 2007 the Mayor responded to nineteen issues and options documents (including eight core 
strategies) and nineteen preferred options consultations (including eight core strategies).  GLA officers have also responded to informal drafts of documents in a number of instances.  The 
Mayor gave an opinion of general conformity on thirteen DPDs from five boroughs, Havering, 
Redbridge, Islington, Hounslow and Brent.  Of these, 3 DPDs were in general conformity, the others were not.  He also made a number of other representations based on the other tests of 
soundness.   
 
74 As a result of representations submitted by the Mayor and the Government Office for London to 
the Islington Core Strategy an exploratory meeting was held by the Inspector, prior to the commencement of the hearing sessions of the examination, to enable the Council to understand 
the risks of the document being found unsound.  The Mayor concluded that the DPD was not in general conformity with the London Plan in respect of a number of matters including the need 
to include the London Plan housing target for the borough. GLA officers participated in the exploratory meeting, following which the Inspector concluded the issue of the housing numbers was a potential 'show stopper' and that the Council should seriously consider whether to continue and only if very convincing arguments based on existing evidence could be made.   As a result of this Islington decided to ask the Secretary of State to direct the Council to withdraw the DPD, which has now been done. 
 
75 Hearing sessions for examinations into Havering's Core Strategy and Development Policies DPD 
and Site allocations DPD and Redbridge's Core Strategy were held in July 2007.  The GLA 
participated in all of these except that for Havering's Site Allocations DPD.   
 
76 The Inspector examining Havering's Core Strategy and Development Policies DPD has published 
her interim report, which covers just the Core Strategy.  In that she concludes that the core strategy is in general conformity with the London Plan except in respect of matters relating to the level of affordable housing and waste management/sites.  The Inspector has made recommendations, including the inclusion of a 50% affordable housing target, which will bring the document into general conformity, which the Mayor supports.  The final report, which will include her conclusions and recommendations relating to the development policies part of the DPD, is expected to be published in early 2008. 
 
77 The Inspector for the Redbridge Core Strategy has concluded that the housing target must be 
changed to include a commitment to the London Plan housing requirement of 9050 units to 
2017.  As the Core Strategy can meet this target for the first 5 years, but not beyond there needs to be a commitment to review housing provision in 5 years and to meet any future London Plan requirement.

London Development Database 58. 
The London Development Database is the key data source for monitoring planning permissions 
and completions in London.  Data is entered by each of the 33 local planning authorities and the GLA provides a co-ordinating, consistency and quality management role.  The database monitors each planning permission through to completion or expiry.  Its strength lies in the ability to manipulate data in order to produce various specific reports.  The data can also be exported to GIS systems to give a further level of spatial analysis.   
 
59. 
The Annual Monitoring Report will continue to focus on the key data sets that are needed to 
monitor the overall performance of the London Plan. In addition specific reports can be 
generated relating to particular projects, research or issues that arise.  Boroughs are also able to adapt parts of the system for borough specific monitoring requirements as well as providing a 
consistent monitoring approach across all 33 London boroughs.  This AMR has utilised more 
data on completions than previous years and this gives a useful comparison between planning 
permissions and completions. 
 
London Planning Awards 2007  
 
60. 
The Mayor, London First and the Royal Town Planning Institute run the annual London Planning 
Awards scheme to showcase good planning practice in London.  This is aimed at both the projects and the people behind the projects.  2007 was the fifth year that the Awards have been run and introduced two new categories; Excellence in Affordable Housing Delivery and Best New Public Space.   The list of the winners is given in Appendix 3.  Entry forms for the 2008 London Planning Awards will be available around June 2008 with a deadline for submissions of around the middle of August 2008.  
 
Update on inter regional issues. 
 
61. 
The Advisory Forum on Regional Planning for London, the South East and the East of England 
(the Inter-Regional Forum) meets three times a year to consider significant cross regional issues. Nicky Gavron, London Assembly Member and Deputy Mayor, is Forum Chair on the Mayor's behalf through to the end of 2008.  In 2007 the Forum considered the following topics: developing markets for recyclates, climate change, and demographic and economic projections.  
Work commissioned by the Forum on approaches to growth across the three regions is currently underway and will report in the Spring of 2008. 
 
62. 
The London Plan underscores the importance of London's links to other parts of the UK and 
particularly to the two adjoining regions of East of England and South East England.  All three EiP Panel Reports have now called for a comprehensive review of regional planning across the three regions and in 2008 the Forum will be considering how to take this forward 
 
London Plan Alterations 
 
63. 
The London Plan has been through two Alterations processes, known as the Early Alterations 
and the Further Alterations.  Both were limited in the areas that they covered and both have been subject to Examination in Public.  The London Plan has been reprinted in February 2008 consolidating the two sets of changes into one document together with the parts of the London 
Plan which have remained un-changed.  http://www.london.gov.uk/thelondonplan 64. 
The Mayor has made it clear that he intends to keep the London Plan up to date and is prepared 
to consider further round of alterations should the need arise.  The AMRs are an important 
element in this process.    
 
 
Review of Mayoral Powers 
65. 
The GLA Act 2007 was published in October 2007 and gives the Mayor additional powers, 
principally in relation to Planning, housing, health and climate change.  With regard to planning, 
the key change is that the Mayor (from 6th April 2008) will have the power to take over the role 
of the planning authority for strategic planning applications, ie he can determine applications positively in addition to his current power of directing refusal. 66. 
The detailed working of the GLA Act will be resolved in the replacement of Circular 1/2000 and 
the Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order, both of which were out for consultation 
by Government until February 2008 see link for details 
http://www.gos.gov.uk/gol/Planning/624901/?a=42496  
 
Looking to the Future 67. 
London Plan continues to provide the clear, authoritative strategic policy directions necessary to 
coordinate the spatial development of London. It has been a major material consideration in 
many high profile planning decisions, as well as informing those on more local proposals, which cumulatively are of strategic importance.  It is coordinating the new suite of borough Development Plan Documents to address strategic objectives as well as more local concerns.  It also provides the framework for long term development and investment in London's infrastructure. 68. 
The alterations to the London Plan that were published in February 2008 indicate the Mayor's keen intent to keep the London Plan up to date.  2008 will be a year of significant change with the introduction of the new Mayoral powers and the implementation of the altered London Plan. 69. 
AMR 5 will report on the updated Key Performance Indicators that are being published in the 
London Plan 2008.

On a London wide basis densities are increasing and helping to contribute to a sustainable use of land. Bromley continues to grant planning permission at the lowest densities in London.  Three boroughs, Enfield, Havering and Kingston have recorded a substantial drop in the density of permissions towards an unacceptably low level.  It will be important in AMR5 to examine these boroughs to determine whether this is a one off drop or a worrying trend. In terms of the Key Performance Indicator 2 the London Plan is having the intended effect in encouraging more efficient use of land.  Analysis of 2006/7 planning permissions show that 50% were within the relevant density ranges.  However, for the larger developments (over 15 units) this drops and there is an increase in the proportion of developments that are above the range.  This trend is to be expected given that this would exclude the smaller developments which achieve lower densities.

Protection of open space  
Target No net loss of open space designated for protection in UDPs due to new development. The figures shown in Table 11 below indicate that through planning permissions that affect protected open space, there has been a net gain of 5ha in 2006/7.  Hillingdon and Bromley experienced the highest losses  although these boroughs are amongst those where losses have a lower impact. It is important to note that there is no current method of consistently reporting on the un-protected areas of open space that are affected by development.  Under PPS17 boroughs are required to audit and assess their open spaces.  Table 12 below sets out Borough's progress with their open space audits as at May 2007.

In 2006/7, 31,432 net additional homes were provided; 137% of the 23,000 original London Plan 
target which applied at the time. This also represents 104% of the London Plan target of 30,500 which 

applies from April 2007. Though performance was exceeded in all sub-regions, it was best in West sub-regions at 212% of the original London Plan target. 

It is worth noting that the LDD counts units demolished as a negative upon completion of an individual planning consent, while the actual units built are counted each year during this period. Housing provision figures in Lewisham and Sutton for the single year 2006/7 incorporate a significant number of demolitions which occurred in previous years.  These figures are therefore not representative of single year completions for 2006/7 in these boroughs (especially for affordable housing), More detail is contained in Appendix 8 (Housing Provision Monitor).

Source: LDD - residential planning permissions. Differences with previously published data are due to continuous updating of LDD system.  
 
In 2006/7 a further 59,366 units were added to the pipeline of planning permissions to produce a cumulative pipeline of outstanding permissions for 140,400 dwellings.  This positive contribution to housing supply includes a number of large schemes which will take a number of years to build out, but which will add significantly to housing provision in coming years. It should be noted, however, that some planning permissions are not built, or subsequent approvals are given, meaning that these levels of residential developments are not directly transferable into the number of dwellings that are completed. Key Performance Indicator 5 
An increased supply of affordable homes  
Target Completion of 50 per cent of new homes as affordable homes each year 2004–2016. Delivery of the London Plan target is met by new affordable conventional completions. These increased by 20% between 2005/6 and 2006/7 to 9,209 homes or 34% of all conventional completions. Table 16 
shows individual borough performance in delivery of affordable housing. However, as mentioned above, the single year data for some boroughs (Lewisham and Sutton in particular) is reduced by inclusion of demolitions relating to Estate Renewal schemes which have occurred across a number of years.  The three year average affordable completions provide the most reliable indication of borough performance in affordable housing delivery. In addition to affordable housing delivery through conventional completions an increased supply of affordable homes is being delivered by the activities of housing associations in purchase and rehabilitation of existing properties (totaling 210 additional affordable homes in 2006/7), Open Market Homebuy and temporary social housing (Table 17).  While these are not counted towards the London Plan target they are important in delivering the Mayor's Housing Strategy. While there are still a range of affordable housing target figures most boroughs now reflect the strategic 50% target for affordable housing provision. A number of boroughs use the London Plan policy, which forms part of the development plan, if their own UDP policies were not saved beyond September 2007. 

Barking and Dagenham, Lewisham, Bromley and Bexley have the lowest affordable housing targets. The Mayor continues to seek early review of targets through the LDF process of all boroughs not conforming with London Plan policy.

Key Performance Indicator 7 
Ensure that there is sufficient development capacity in the office market Target Stock of office planning permissions to be at least three times the average rate of starts over the previous three years. 

Ratio of permission to average three years starts at end 2007 = **4.8 : 1** In terms of aggregate volume of permissions, the planning pipeline is being maintained at a level above the minimum ratio of 3:1. The ratio has steadily reduced since the end of 2004, consistent with a higher level of starts during the current office construction cycle, with 2.1 million sq metres commenced in three years. Starts in 2007, at 0.89 million sq metres, were the highest in central London since 2001, in spite of the emergence of the 'credit crunch' in the second half of the year whose impact is more likely to be felt in 2008 and possibly 2009. By volume, starts were concentrated in the City where around 80% of construction was speculative, and there was a return to construction at Canary Wharf, but this was largely pre-let driven. Starts in the West End continued to be lower than in the City in spite of rents being at twice City levels, but developments in the West End tend to be sub-10,000 sq metres. The impact of the 'credit crunch' on both the raising of development finance and both current and expected future demand from financial and related occupiers is likely to produce a reduction in starts in 2008. The high rate of starts contributed to a reduction in the volume of permissions in central London from 
4.2 million sq m at the end of 2006 to 3.4 million sq m in 2007. This reduction had an impact on the ratio of permissions to starts.  The level of potential office supply across London and its sub-markets will continue to be closely monitored, but the volume of permissions is likely to increase in 2008 relative to the market's expectation of a reduction in construction starts.

Direction of economic and population growth to follow the indicative sub-regional allocations and fulfill the priority to east London Target Development in Opportunity Areas and Areas for Intensification for each sub-region measured against the Chapter 5 indicative figures in the London Plan. Significant progress has been made in progressing development at several of the London Plan Opportunity Areas.  Kings Cross has received outline planning permission within LB Camden and is progressing toward an appeal on the Islington part of the site.  The scheme also won the Mayor's Planning Award at the 2007 London Planning Awards. Brent Cross/Cricklewood, is progressing towards a planning application  during 2008 following adoption of a UDP chapter with LB Barnet, this scheme won the Best Conceptual Project at the 2007 London Planning Awards.  Rapid progress is being made with developments in and around the Lower Lea Valley in relation to the Olympics and other development projects.  More detailed progress on each Opportunity Area and Area for Intensification will be reported through the SRIFs in summer 2008.

Notes: The APS is a sample survey, so all estimates are subject to a degree of sampling variability. Londoners from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) groups are more than twice as likely as those from White groups to be unemployed.  The gap in rates persists within different age groups and data are not significantly different to rates in previous AMRs. 

 
Analysis of longer term trend data (1985-2006) suggests the gap in unemployment rates between White and BAME groups has persisted over time despite falls in the general level of unemployment. As the data are estimates, and subject to a considerable degree of sampling variability, it is difficult to come to firm conclusions about progress in the short term. Data will need to be monitored in the longer term in order to assess progress on this challenging indicator. While data presented here relate to aggregations of minority ethnic groups, it is fully recognised that within the BAME population there is huge variation in unemployment rates. 2001 Census data shows that rates ranged from 5.9 per cent for Indian Londoners up to 20.5 per cent among Bangladeshi Londoners. Rates were also high for Black Londoners (12.3-17.6 per cent).

Improving performance against Neighbourhood Renewal floor targets as a co-ordinated approach to tackling deprivation Target  
Improvements in performance against all agreed floor targets. There are now 15 separate "floor targets" which assess how the most deprived local authorities in England are performing on fundamental quality of life factors.  The floor targets cover education attainment, crime, health and employment rates.  There are 21 London boroughs out of the 91 local authorities that are covered by the targets.  The relevant boroughs are Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Brent, Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth, and Westminster.  Data is usually given up to 2006/7 and the full range of results can be viewed at http://www.fti.neighbourhood.gov.uk/page.asp?id=5 In summary 75% of the 15 floor targets show an improvement from on the previous year across the 21 boroughs.  The targets relating to education, health, housing and overall crime generally show an improvement.  Burglary and Robbery rates are very mixed with around half the boroughs showing increases and employment levels in half of the boroughs have dropped.

2 GB has been used as the national comparator as data were not available for the UK.  

The numbers of journeys are taken from the time series compiled for the 2006 London Travel Report. This includes all journeys to, from or within Greater London, including travel by commuters and visitors.  For consistency the population estimates include in-commuters and visitors (derived from the Labour Force Survey and the International Passenger Survey, respectively). The results show a 15% increase in public transport journeys per head between 2001 and 2006, compared with a 5% decrease in car journeys per head.  2006 saw a continuing drop in the use of the car and an increase in the use of public transport, following a dip in 2005 that has been put down to the impact of the London bombings in July 2005. 

Key Performance Indicator 13 
Achieve a reduced reliance on the private car and a more sustainable modal split for journeys Target From 2001-2011, 15 per cent reduction in traffic in the congestion charging zone, zero traffic growth in inner London, and traffic growth in outer London reduced to no more than 5 per cent. London Plan Policy 3C.16 - 'Tackling congestion and reducing traffic' - sets out targets for reductions in weekday traffic growth for different areas of London.  Monitoring by Transport for London within the area of the Congestion Charging Zone has shown that levels of traffic (for vehicles of four or more wheels) fell by 15 per cent between 2002 and 2003 and continued to decline to a level of up to 20% below 2002 by 2005. Available indicators of traffic circulating within the charging zone for 2006 again suggest broadly stable or slightly declining traffic levels compared with the previous year.  The average level of traffic (vehicles with four or more wheels) entering the charging zone during charging hours was almost unchanged between 2005 and 2006, which represented an overall reduction of 21% compared to pre-charging levels in 2002. Estimates from DfT's National Traffic Census indicate that, in Inner London (outside Central London), annual traffic on major roads increased by 3% between 2005 and 2006 reversing the declines of the previous 5 years.  However, traffic was still 4% lower in 2006 than in 2001.  In Outer London, traffic levels on major roads showed no net change  between 2001 and 2006.

TfL London River Services Note 1 Figures are for passenger journeys on boat operators using TfL London River Services Piers and the Thames Clippers Savoy to Woolwich Arsenal service.  This excludes a number of other services working from independent piers.  Figures also include passengers on charter boats. Ticket sales count both single and return tickets as one journey on all services except Thames Clippers which are passenger journeys. The table shows that the number of passengers on the Thames is steadily increasing over the baseline situation in 2001.   Following the events of 7 July 2005, passenger numbers on tourist services fell significantly, but have now recovered to previous levels. Passenger numbers on the riverbus services have shown significant growth since July 2005. In November 2007, Thames Clippers riverbus service was expanded to run between Waterloo (BA London Eye) and the O2 at a 15 minute frequency throughout the day and every 30 minutes in the late evening. It is anticipated that the number of passengers carried on the Thames will continue to show strong growth.

Source: Port of London Authority. The Table shows a marginal increase in the amount of cargo handled within the London part of the Port of London during 2006.  This still means that there has been a net decrease of 13.2% overall from the baseline year of 2001.  Given this figure this indicator will be particularly important to monitor whether there is a reversal of recent trends.  This is significant in the context of the number of major construction projects over the coming years which have the potential to utilize the river for bulk cargo transport, for example the Olympics, Crossrail and the Thames Tideway sewer. 

Key Performance Indicator 15 
Increase in public transport capacity  
Target 
50 per cent increase in public transport capacity between 2001 - 2021, with interim increases to reflect Table 6A.2. 

 
The London Plan aims for a 5% increase in public transport capacity between 2001 and 2006.  This interim target has been achieved with a 6% increase in capacity, giving a good indication that the longer term 50% target can be met.  Clearly this will be dependent upon some major infrastructure programmes such as Crossrail, Thameslink and East London Line.  2007 saw major advances toward the delivery of each of those projects.  The increases in public transport capacity were delivered to meet the 6% increase so far include substantial increases in bus capacity, seventh carriage for Jubilee line trains, increased capacity on the Waterloo & City line the opening of the DLR branch to London City Airport and additional peak rail services on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line, West London Line and North London Line. 

Key Performance Indicator 16 
Increase in public transport capacity Target  
Regular assessment of the adequacy of transport capacity to support development in opportunity and intensification areas. An initial assessment of the adequacy of public transport capacity at each of the Opportunity Areas and Areas for Intensification was carried out to inform the sub-regional development frameworks (SRDFs), published in 2005.  Summary details of infrastructure provision for the opportunity and intensification areas can be found in Annex 2 of the relevant final SRDF, published in May 2006.  This work will be updated in 2008 with the publication of the Sub Regional Implementation Plans to replace SRDFs. Key Performance Indicator 17 
Increase in the number of jobs located in areas with high PTAL values Target GLA and TfL will investigate the practicality of monitoring growth of jobs in high PTAL areas compared to low PTAL areas by the time of publication of the second Annual Monitoring Report. Using land use classes as a rough proxy for employment densities, the London Development Database has been used in combination with a GIS system to generate a matrix of types of employment development permitted within three groupings of public transport accessibility. The results are shown in the table below.  B1 uses, which include office development are heavily focused within the more accessible areas (PTAL zones 5 and 6) whereas B2 and B8 uses are much less prevalent in such locations.  This  is in line with the general trend of providing such uses in the more appropriate and sustainable locations. Likewise, the majority of B2 and B8 uses are being provided in the locations with the lowest public transport accessibility (PTAL zones 0 and 2).  This is because a key requirement for such developments is often access to the national motorway network and/or strategic rail/port freight facilities.  It is notable that some 17% of B1 uses are located in the lowest PTAL zones but it must be remembered that B1 uses also include light industry and research/development uses which may well seek edge or out of centre locations. A comparison with previous years data indicates that last year there was a similar focus of B1 uses in high PTAL zones, and an increase on the 2004/5 data.

Several relatively small net losses have been recorded during 2006/7.  The most notable loss relates to a residential development in LB Sutton.  By way of mitigation this development is due to implement improvements to surrounding habitats.  The Mayor has recently published a Implementation report on improving Access to Nature.  Many of the improvements arise from upgrades to existing habitats to enhance their value rather than necessarily increasing their size. 

Key Performance Indicator 19 
Increase in household waste recycled or composted Target At least 25 per cent by 2005. At least  30 per cent by 2010. (will be 35% from April 2007 following Early Alterations) 
At least  33 per cent by 2015. (will be 45% from April 2007 following Early Alterations) The targets for this indicator has changed as a result of the publication of the London Plan Early Alterations in December 2006 and will be monitored against from April 2007 and will be reported against in AMR5. London's household recycling rate for 2006/7 was 22.9%.  This represents a continuation of the increase that has been seen over the past few years.  However, the target is a considerable way below the 25% target for 2005 and as Table 34 shows London now has a lower recycling rate than any other English Region. This is particularly disappointing as London was close to the average rate only a few years ago. Furthermore the recently published Further Alterations to the London Plan step up the targets for 2010 and 2015 in line with the Mayor's Municipal Waste Strategy.  The Government is also seeking to alter the recycling targets nationally and is proposing a 50% target by 2020 through its Consultation on the Review of England's Waste Strategy 2006. In 2006/7 some 13 London Boroughs are still missing their targets for 2005.  Some boroughs such as Croydon, Hounslow and Hammersmith & Fulham are still missing those expired targets by a substantial margin.

Key Performance Indicator 21 
Increased regional self-sufficiency for waste Target 
75% (16 million tonnes) of London's waste treated or disposed of within London by 2010 The most recent estimates (2005) are that 60% of London's waste was treated within London. In 2005 London had a total capacity for managing 24 million tones of waste.  By the end of 2006 that capacity had increased to 25.1 million tones.  In practice not all facilities are used to their maximum capacity and some of London's waste is still managed outside London. 

Key Performance Indicator 22 
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions  
Target  
Reduce emissions to 23 per cent below 1990 levels by 2016. Reporting against this target has not changed from AMR3 as energy use and Carbon Dioxide emissions were only reliably surveyed in 1991 and 2003.  These show that overall CO2 emissions are down by 9%, representing a positive policy direction. However within this there are varying trends.  Population has increased by 8.5%.  This has reduced the impact of total savings that have been achieved.  The tones/resident figure shows a good level of reduction in line with the 2016 target.  Within that reduction transport and commercial/industrial uses have decreased the most.  The most worrying aspect of this target is that domestic energy use has increased by 30% between 1990 and 2003.  This has only resulted in a 4% increase in CO2 emissions due to the switch to cleaner energy production methods, notably gas.

Increase in energy generated from renewable sources Target Production of 945GWh of energy from renewable sources by 2010 including at least six large wind turbines. Reporting against this Indicator has not changed since AMR3 as there is no new data.  The baseline position at 2001 was that London had capacity for 460Gwh of renewable energy generation. This comprised; 414 GWh electricity generation and 46 GWh heat generation.  A new inventory of renewable energy generation will be prepared. A new inventory of renewable energy generation was due to be available from April 2006 however this was not resourced and is subsequently still not available as was expected in previous AMRs.   The GLA is implementing a monitoring system for strategic planning applications which will record the capacity to produce renewable energy. A one off review of strategic planning applications by London South Bank University illustrated that approximately 9.6% of energy demand was being met by renewable sources in 2005/6.  The London Energy Partnership is also due to publish a Wind and Biomass Study in the near future. 

Key Performance Indicator 24 
Ensure a sustainable approach to flood management. 

Target No net loss of functional flood plain. The Environment Agency has confirmed that it is not aware of any development that has resulted in a net loss of functional floodplain (as defined by PPS25) over the past year (April 2006 to March 2007). PPS25 now places a requirement on boroughs to identify functional floodplain through their Strategic Flood Risk Assessments (SFRA).  However, many of the SFRAs are still in progress and therefore an accurate picture of the area of functional floodplain in London is not yet available.  Functional floodplain is defined in PPS25 as Zone 3b - land where water has to flow or be stored in times of flood and would flood with an annual probability of 1 in 20 (5%) or greater in any year or is designed to flood in an extreme (0.1%) flood, or at another probability to be agreed between the LPA and the Environment Agency.  However, as the majority of London is defended, only a very small area of functional floodplain exists within London.  This is mainly associated with fluvial flood risk on the tributaries of the River Thames.  In addition, PPS25 limits development in this zone to water-compatible uses and some essential infrastructure so loss of functional floodplain is unlikely. The current target is therefore not well suited to monitoring a sustainable approach to flood risk management and the revision to this target to be published in February 2008 version of the London Plan will not be well suited either.

Source: English Heritage Note 1 The information has been calculated on a slightly different basis to previous years and the figures for previous years have been revised in this the above table. 

Note 2 The No. of Listed Building entries and at risk excludes Scheduled Ancient Monuments and cemeteries and churchyards. English Heritage has published a Register of Buildings at Risk in Greater London annually since 1991, containing information on all listed buildings known to be at risk from neglect, decay, under-use or redundancy.  The number of entries on the Register is less than that of the individual items at risk because some entries relate to a group of listed buildings (e.g. terrace of houses).  The 2007 Register reported that in London, including Schedule Ancient Monuments, cemeteries and churchyards there are 541 entries, which represent 622 items. The 622 items comprise listed buildings at risk, of which 24 were listed Grade I, 57 Grade II* and 516 Grade II; 6 Scheduled Ancient Monuments and 19 cemeteries and churchyards. There has been a small decrease in the proportion of buildings at risk on the previous year. The Register of Buildings at Risk is available on

Directions were subsequently issued to Greenwich, in respect of waste safeguarding, and Bromley, in respect of housing density.  The Direction to Bromley resulted in a further modification.  Unfortunately, the Direction for Greenwich was subsequently withdrawn without further modifications being prepared.  This was done to enable the borough to adopt the UDP before the 21 July 2006 deadline after which plans adopted without a strategic environmental assessment could have been subject to legal challenge.  Because of this, and because of Directions not being issued on other matters requested, the Mayor wrote to fours boroughs (Barnet, Bromley, Camden and Greenwich) to formally state that the adopted UDPs were not in general conformity with the London Plan. This strategic environmental assessment deadline was a spur for a number of boroughs and seven out of the ten UDPs were adopted by the 21 July 2006.  The remaining three should be adopted early in 2007. The remaining 23 boroughs have been making progress in replacing their UDPs with Local Development Frameworks.  However, in the majority of cases progress has been slower than anticipated in the original development scheme.  This slippage has been caused by a number of factors, including: unexpected delays in preparing strategic environmental assessments; an unprecedented number of boroughs changing political control in the May local elections; insufficient allocation of resources, and; the 'fallout' from of the first two core strategies in the country that were examined being found unsound (in Stafford and Lichfield). Two boroughs (Kingston and Hounslow) have progressed on Area Action Plans or topic based development plan documents in advance of their core strategy.  Of the remaining 21 all but Enfield have now progressed to at least issues and options for the core strategy.  In 2006 the Mayor responded to 11 core strategy issues and options documents (seven of these also consulted on development control and or site allocations development plans documents as well).  The Mayor also responded to four core strategy preferred options consultations (one of these also consulted on development control and site allocations development plans documents as well).  The Mayor also responded to six area action plan and one topic based preferred options consultations. Only two boroughs (Tower Hamlets and Havering) have submitted their Core Strategy and Development Control document to the Secretary of State for examination.  Havering also submitted its Sites Allocation document and Tower Hamlets submitted three area action plans.  The Mayor has provided an opinion on general conformity on the Tower Hamlets documents, concluding that the documents are not in general conformity on a limited number of policy areas.  He has also made a number of other representations based on the other tests of soundness.  He will give an opinion on general conformity to Havering when the consultation ends in January 2007.  A number of other boroughs were due to submit documents to the Secretary of State towards the end of 2006. However, in light of the Stafford and Lichfield decisions these have been delayed.  For the same reason some boroughs have carried out further issues and options consultation, which the Mayor has responded to. As stated in the main AMR, supplementary planning documents must also be in general conformity with the London Plan and boroughs should consult the Mayor for an opinion on general conformity where appropriate.  The Mayor responded to 24 consultations in 2006.  The Mayor also responded to five consultations on non-statutory documents (such as interim planning guidance notes). 

 
Appendix 7 Affordability Thresholds for Social and Intermediate housing 
 
This Appendix relates to Policy 3A.8 of the London Plan Consolidated with Alterations Since 2004 
(Paragraph 3.37) and updates the affordability thresholds as at February 2008 
Social Housing There are three criteria in the definition of social housing: 
 
- 
Housing is affordable in that rents are no greater than target rents as set by Government for local authority and housing association and co-operative tenants. Service charges should not be so great as to make a tenancy unaffordable for a household with an income of less than £17,600 on the basis of rents and service charges not exceeding 30% of net household income. 

- 
Social housing should be accessed on the basis of housing need. 

- 
Social housing should be available as such on a long-term basis It follows that privately rented housing could be considered as social housing where these criteria are met. This would normally only be the case where such provision operated under an accreditation or licensing scheme where nominations of tenants were either made by the local authority or under a framework of priorities agreed with the local authority. Rented accommodation, which is let on the basis of short-term lets (tenancies or licences of under 5 years) should not be treated as social housing.  Rented housing which is not available on the basis of housing need, and is allocated on the basis of other criteria, for example criteria related to the employment function of members of the household, should not be considered as social housing. 

Housing which is provided on a temporary basis should not be considered as social housing. 

Intermediate Housing Intermediate provision is sub-market housing, where costs, including service charges, are above target rents for social housing, but where costs, including service charges, are affordable by households on incomes of less than £58,600 This figure has been up-dated from the London Plan (2004) figure of £40,000 and will continue to be reviewed on an annual basis to reflect changes in income house-price ratios. This category can include shared ownership, sub-market rent provision and market provision , including key worker provision, where this affordability criterion is met and where provision is appropriate to meeting identified requirements. For the criterion that provision is affordable to be met, the purchase price must be no greater than 3.5 times the household income limit specified above (i.e. no greater than £205,000 at February 2007 
prices), or the annual housing costs, including rent and service charge, should be no greater than 40% of net household income. (This is to reflect a different level of disposable income, relative to lower income households dependent on social housing). In the case of two or multiple income households, lenders will generally lend at lower multipliers in relation to incomes of household members other than the highest income earner, and consequently market access will generally be more restricted for such households. Further technical advice on application of affordability criteria is included in the GLA London Housing Requirements Study (December 2004). Local Planning Authorities should seek to ensure that intermediate provision provides for households with a range of incomes below the upper limit, and provides a range of dwelling types in terms of a mix of unit sizes (measured by number of bedrooms), and that average housing costs, including service charges, to households for whom intermediate housing is provided are affordable by households on annual incomes of £38,000 pa (i.e. the midpoint of the £17,600- £58,600 range). On this basis, average housing costs, including service charges, would be about £900 a month or £210 a week (housing costs at 40% of net income, net income being assumed to be 70% of gross income). This figure could be used for monitoring purposes. 

## Appendix 8 Housing Provision In London 2006/7: Annual Monitor 1. **Introduction**

1.1.  
The2004 London Plan set a target of at least 23,000 homes to be provided in London each year. 
Early Alterations to the London Plan, published in December 2006, increased the target to 30,500 homes each year. This target applies for monitoring purposes to data from April 2007. The data in this Monitor relate to 2006/7 and are therefore assessed against the 2004 target.   
1.2.  
The plan also sets out a commitment to monitor carefully achievement of these targets. This 
Housing Provision Monitor is one of a series addressing this commitment and complements the London Plan Annual Monitoring Report. It is based largely on borough returns to the London Development Database (LDD). This was established with government support and is widely regarded as the most authoritative source of information on housing provision in London. Further details of the monitoring process and its results are set out in more detail in Section 3 below, and tables and figures are included at Section 4.  

## 2. **Summary Of Results** 2.1. How Many New Homes, What Type And Where?

2.1.1  In net terms, 31,6503 homes were completed in London in 2006/74 - well above the London 
Plan (2004) target of 23,000, and showing strong progress in delivering the monitoring target of 30,500 pa which will apply from April 2007. Completions comprised 27,500 self-contained 
('conventional') dwellings, nearly 1,500 non-self contained units (for example hostels and 
student accommodation) and 2,700 long-term vacant homes returning to use.   The net completions figures take into account demolitions. The gross number of new conventional 
homes actually built in London in 2006/7 is 33,000. 
2.1.2  In 2000, the year the GLA was established, only 19,500 net self-contained dwellings were 
completed. Since the Mayor's London Plan was formally published, net output has increased 
from 21,000 in 2003/4 to 22,900 in 2004/5 and 24,000 in 2005/6. The current figure (27,500) is the highest level of output since 1988.  Figure HPM2 (Section 6) shows total conventional 
completions against conventional supply targets in housing capacity studies over the last fifteen years. It also shows significant increases in planning approvals for new homes, above the monitoring targets.  
2.1.3  In 2006/7 34% of new provision was affordable housing (9,400 units), 49% of which is social 
rented. In addition to these new units almost 2,800 additional affordable homes were provided through conversion of market to affordable housing. Information on development proposals and starts suggests that the social rented housing delivery is likely to increase compared to intermediate, with 11,600 and 7,400 approvals respectively in 2006/7. While smaller dwellings continue to dominate overall new provision (36% studio/1 bed, 49% 2 bed - of total completions), more larger units are being developed in the social rented sector (24% 3 or more bedrooms). 
2.1.4  All sub-regions exceeded their target set out in the London Plan (2004). On average over the 
last three years Tower Hamlets (2,470 dwellings) and Greenwich (1,630) have made the largest individual contributions to London-wide provision5, followed by Southwark (1,520), Wandsworth 
(1,360), and Islington (1,050). Together these five boroughs account for around a third of new provision. Cumulatively, the smaller contributions of other boroughs are therefore critical to achievement of the London wide target. It is essential that the 13 boroughs which have not, on average, achieved their targets over this period make their contributions to meeting London's housing needs.   

## 2.2. What'S Going To Happen In The Future?

2.2.1  As a short-term indicator of potential future completions, the 2006/7 figure for net 'starts' 
(32,709) is above that in previous years (2005/6: 29,100; 2004/5: 29,900). For the longer term, the 2006/7 level of planning approvals (59,366) is significantly higher than previous years (2005/6: 51,100; 2004/5: 51,500). This has contributed to the generous overall pipeline of 
approvals for homes not yet started, which stood at 140,000 dwellings by the end of financial 
year 2006/7.  

## 3. **Detailed Results** 3.1. Detailed Results: Introduction

3.1.1.  Information on housing permissions, starts and completions is taken from the London 
Development Database system. As the LDD system covers all planning consents, the figures in this report are based on recorded schemes rather than on aggregate data. They are more accurate than data published in previous years, and than CLG (Communities and Local Government) data, which relies on quarterly borough returns which are sometimes incomplete. Data used in this report relate to data input by boroughs onto the LDD system as at 16 December 2007. It therefore excludes any units subsequently reported by boroughs.  
3.1.2. The London Plan housing target adopted in February 2004 of 23,000 homes a year, (and the 
Early Alterations: 30,500 homes a year) relate to net additions to housing supply from all 
sources. This includes net gain from new build, conversion of existing residential premises and 
change of use of non-residential premises. It also includes output from non self-contained accommodation and a component of supply from long-term private vacant properties returning to use. 
3.1.3. LDD separately records output of self-contained and non self-contained accommodation (halls 
of residence and hostels) and these data are used in this report. However, data on long term private sector vacants returning to use is not monitored through LDD and is therefore sourced 
separately. It is recognised that monitoring of long term private sector vacants returning to use can be problematic. The most reliable data for this source is from returns provided by boroughs 
to CLG through the annual Housing Strategy Statistical Annex return (HSSA)6. This monitor uses 
provisional data for 2006/7 compared to 2005/6 from Section A of the HSSA which counts private sector units vacant for six months or more (which are not vacant for regeneration 
purposes). The draft Housing Strategy states that the Mayor will investigate the accuracy of the method of reporting these 
3.1.4.   The LDD data for completions includes all units within a scheme completed in this financial year. 
                                                 
However, demolitions of existing units are counted upon full completion of the whole scheme/planning permission. In the case of large developments, particularly large Estate Renewal schemes, this can cause statistical anomalies in single-year net figures, although records accurate net completions over the life of the scheme (i.e. where completions have been counted over a number of years, but where existing units demolished are counted in a single, final, year). Significant anomalies to single year data are noted within this Monitor. While there are no plans at present to amend the way in which such demolitions are counted, the GLA will continue to keep under review the most appropriate way of monitoring completed units. 

## 3.2. Residential Planning Approvals (Table Hpm1)

3.2.1.  Net residential planning approvals in 2006/7 included 58,115 self contained homes, higher than 
previous years figures of 51,115 (2005/6) and 51,477 (2004/5). This represents an increase in residential planning approvals in London over the last few years, and is more than double the figure of 25,883 achieved in 2001. In addition there were approvals for 1,262 net non self contained bedspaces (halls of residence and hostels) in London in 2006/7.  
3.2.2.  Monitoring of permissions is net of units lost from redevelopment or conversion.  Gross 
residential permissions in 2006/7 were 66,389 self contained units and 6,995 non self contained bedspaces - a total of 73,384 units, an increase on the gross approvals in 2005/6 of 62,236 units.  

## 3.3. Completions (Table Hpm2) 3.3.1 Self Contained Completions (Table Hpm3)

3.3.1.1 Net self-contained residential completions in 2006/7 comprised 27,5167 homes, an increase on 
previous years (24,009 in 2005/6; 22,885 in 2004/5). This represents 144% of the conventional 
supply (self contained homes) component of the housing target8 of 19,095 home (and meets 
the new housing target9 which will apply from April 2007).   

## 3.3.2 Non Self-Contained Completions

3.3.2.1 Net non self-contained completions (halls of residence and hostels) in 2006/7 created 1,447 
bedspaces (compared to 466 in 2005/6, 3,440 in 2004/5).  This is below the component of the 
London Plan (2004) target10. However, it is primarily because a number of hostels have been 
redeveloped as self contained accommodation, leading to a loss of hostel bedspaces.  While 960 
new hostel bedrooms were provided, 903 existing rooms were lost - a net gain of only 57 rooms.  

## 3.3.3 Vacant Properties Returning To Use

3.3.3.1 Local authority returns to CLG11 show an overall Londonwide reduction in long term private 
sector voids in the financial year 2006/7 of 2,695 units, shown in Table HPM2, twice the current 
target12. However the figures for boroughs vary widely, with some boroughs showing significant 
decreases in vacants and others showing significant increases. It is probable that some borough returns are based on inadequate monitoring or indicate a change of data source or methodology. This concern as to the unreliability of data is shared by the Government and the Mayor. The draft Housing Strategy recognises this and states that, with partners, the Mayor will investigate 
the accuracy of the method of reporting figures for the number of empty homes13.  

## 3.4 Housing Starts

3.4.1  The LDD shows net starts in 2006/7 of 32,709 self contained units (compared with (2005/6) 
29,064 and (2004/5) 29,926). This gives an average of 30,566 starts per year over the three 
years, which is 60% above this component of the London Plan target14 and 11% above the 
target which will apply from next year15. This is a positive indicator that the new target will be 
delivered. However, housing starts in particular are susceptible to changes in the housing market. This may impact on the number of starts in future years. 

## 3.5 Borough Completions Relative To Targets: 3.5.1. Conventional Supply

3.5.1.1 Table HPM5 compares 2006/7 conventional completions with the conventional component of 
the borough targets. Londonwide, output was 144% of the conventional component of the target.  Performance was best in West London at 186% of target. North East and South East achieved 148% and 141% respectively. North and South West achieved 130% and 128% respectively.  
3.5.1.2 Output varies between years. Table HPM6 therefore give 3 year averages for the last 3 years 
2004/5 to 2006/7 with Londonwide output at 130% of target. This is a sounder basis for comparing borough and sub-regional performance against target.  On this basis, South East and West London have performed best on conventional output - at 146% and 138% of the conventional component of the target. South West and North East achieved 134% and 133% of target component respectively  and North London achieved 113%. Individual borough performance, however, has varied widely with Kensington and Chelsea achieving just 42% of 
target while Richmond achieved 231% of their target. 

## 3.5.2 Total Supply

3.5.2.1 The London Plan total supply targets include components relating to non-conventional supply 
and long term private sector vacants (see paragraph 3.1.2 above). Output fluctuates widely 
between years. Data on non self-contained output comes from the LDD and is reliable, however data supplied by boroughs on long term private sector vacants is less reliable.  
3.5.2.2 Table HPM2 shows sub-regional and borough performance in relation to London Plan targets in 
2006/7. Output overall was 138% of the existing 23,000 target (and 104% of the new 30,500 target adopted in the London Plan alterations). Performance in all sub-regions exceeded targets. In some boroughs performance has been affected by significant increases in long term private sector vacant properties, reducing supply gains from conventional and non self-contained completions. Such fluctuations in vacancies can often be attributed to difficulties in monitoring.  

## 3.6. Supply From New Build, Conversions And Change Of Use

3.6.1.  The components of conventional supply16 are summarised as follows:  

  
Gross completions  Pre-existing units  **Net completions**  
New Building  
24,790  
3,168 
21,662 
Conversions  
4,565 
2,167 
2,398 
Change of Use  
3,652 
156 
3,496 
Total  
33,007  
5,491 
27,516 

 3.6.2.  Table HPM3 shows that the majority of conventional completions are new-build (79%). In 
2006/7 less than 9% of overall completions were from conversions of existing homes. 13% of 
net completions were from change of use.  

## 3.7. Tenure, Mix And Bedroom Size

3.7.1. In net terms, 17% of units completed were recorded as social housing, 17% as intermediate and 
66% as market provision. 9,209 affordable units (social rented and intermediate) were completed in 2006/7. This includes those units identified on the LDD as affordable, but excludes additional properties which have been transferred or purchased for social or 
intermediate use separately. Further detail on overall affordable supply is set out in Table HPM7.  
3.7.2. In gross terms, a greater proportion of social rented (7,102 units, 22%) than intermediate (4,816 
units, 15%) were completed as new or replacement provision in 2006/7. Overall gross conventional completions provided 33,007 units (see Table HPM8). 
3.7.3. An additional 2,775 affordable units were also provided through purchase and rehabilitation of 
existing properties, the open market homebuy scheme and rehabilitation of properties for temporary social housing. While these do not contribute towards the London Plan 50% target they are an important element of additional supply. 
3.7.4  Table HPM6 shows that over the three years 2004/5-6/7 the delivery of affordable housing has 
increased. West London delivered the greatest number affordable homes as a percentage of new supply (43%) although North East and North London have delivered the highest number of 
units (5,792 and 5,688 respectively).  
3.7.5  Table HPM9 shows that a greater proportion of affordable housing approved in 2006/7 is likely 
to be social rented than intermediate. Of 58,115 net approvals, 9,029 (16%) were for social rented homes and 7,381 (13%) for intermediate homes. However while this results in a lower 
proportion of affordable housing as a result of the higher level of total approvals the proportion 
in individual schemes may be amended before completion.  
                                                 

3.7.6 Table HPM10 shows that the majority of units completed in 2006/7 were two bedroom units. 
The greatest need for larger units is in the social rented sector. The proportion of social rented 
units that had three bedrooms (17% of social rented completions) or more (8% 4+ bedrooms) was greater than the proportion of market or intermediate units. Most intermediate and market units had one or two bedrooms.     

## 4. Tables And Charts

17 * = Bexley housing completions totalled 241 units from conventional and non-self contained, however a significant increase in long term vacant properties resulted in negative overall provision (-253 units)
