Executive Summary The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) is essentially concerned to assess achievement of the London Plan's objectives. These look forward over a 20 year horizon - a long term perspective which looks across economic cycles but which in individual years will, of course, reflect their impact. This is particularly the case for AMR 7, covering 2009/10. London's economic output fell by 4.9% from its mid 2008 peak to the third quarter of 2009, but by the second quarter of 2010 had risen by 2.4%. GLA Economics expect that over 2011 as a whole growth may average 2.4%, and in 2012 2.9%. In employment terms, 190,000 jobs were lost during 
2008 - 2009, mainly in the private sector, but there was some recovery in the first half of 2010 and GLA Economics projects 0.6% growth in 2011 and 1% in 2012. Though unemployment across all groups has remained broadly stable during the recession at around 
9%, it has had particular impact on the young and among black and other ethnic minorities. However, there is some improvement in the ratio between unemployment of white and BAME groups, and there was slower growth among London's lone parents on income support than in the country as a whole. The recession has also impacted on London's successful housing record, reducing output by 16% 
from its 2008/9 peak to 24,300 conventional homes in 2009/10 and, unsurprisingly, to below the long term monitoring benchmark (27,600). However, the decline in residential approvals appears to be abating, falling only 5% to 44,100 and close to the average for the last decade. In percentage terms, affordable housing output remained at record levels (37% of the total), but in absolute terms fell to 9,000 in 2009/10. With capacity for over 170,000 homes in the planning pipeline, London is well placed to tackle future housing needs as it emerges from the recession. In 2009/10 97% of approved housing was on previously developed land - far higher than the national 60% target. Housing densities in developments approved have risen to 148 dwellings per hectare in 2009/10. Less than 17 hectares of protected open space, land designated as Green Belt, Metropolitan Open Land and local open space, have been lost, and most of it will retain the open character or provide environmental improvements elsewhere. 

 
In 2009/10 the Mayor secured Government recognition of the importance of continued investment in London's public transport system, with Comprehensive Spending Review commitments to funding Crossrail and upgrading the tube as well as a revision to his London Plan to enable development to contribute to Crossrail. In 2011 there will be further improvements to the DLR to Stratford and to London Overground in both north and south London. There is slow but steady progress in improving London's ability to handle its own waste - recycling rates are increasing, more waste is being managed within the city's boundaries and, overall, less waste is being generated. Boroughs are taking forward the Mayor's waste management strategy by identifying land locally to deal with their own waste arisings. Good progress has been made on assessing flood risk with almost all boroughs meeting requirements to carry out Strategic Flood Risk Assessments. Where any part of sites of nature conservation importance has been lost it has usually proved possible to mitigate this by improvements elsewhere. This is likely to be the last AMR before the Mayor publishes a replacement London Plan - currently expected in the summer/autumn of 2011. The next annual report will be based on a new suite of indicators, and will form part of a new approach to London Plan implementation, accompanying a new Implementation Plan. 

 
Scope and Purpose This is the seventh London Plan Annual Monitoring Report (AMR7). The AMR is the central document in the monitoring process required by law to assess the effectiveness of the Mayor of London's spatial development strategy (more commonly known as the London Plan, the current iteration of which was published in 2008 consolidated with alterations since 2004). It is based on the key performance indicators (KPIs) set out in Chapter 6 of the London Plan, but it also contains additional contextual information that helps highlight some more specific challenges facing London. As with past AMRs, AMR7 reviews the overall performance of the London Plan with respect to key issues and trends reported in the year 2009/10. The figures in the appendices generally relate to the period April 2009 to March 2010, although in some cases more up to date data is provided. Where possible a time series of data is given to help show trends. The appendices also indicate a few areas where proxy data have had to be used. This report draws on a range of data sources, but the Greater London Authority's London Development Database (LDD) is of central importance. The LDD is a "live" system monitoring planning permissions and completions. It provides good quality, comprehensive data for the GLA and London boroughs. Data is also received from the GLA's Data Management and Analysis Group (DMAG) and Environment Team, Transport for London, English Heritage, The Environment Agency and Port of London Authority. The KPIs used in this report remain the same as in AMR6. A review of monitoring indicators is under way as part of the work to produce a new Replacement London Plan. It is anticipated that next year's AMR will be based on a revised set of KPIs and that it will form a part of a new approach to London Plan implementation. The scope of the AMR is outlined in Chapter 6B of the London Plan. It has been prepared to reflect the overall policy direction of the Plan, and does not attempt to measure and monitor each of its individual policies - this would make for a very large and complex document, and risk losing important information about overall trends amongst huge amounts of detail. The AMR continues to be important in keeping the London Plan under review (which the Mayor is legally required to do under the Greater London Authority Act 1999). It has also provided a valuable resource in preparing and scrutinising the draft replacement London Plan (further information about the new Plan is given later). The AMR should not be confused with either: 
The Mayor's Annual Report: This is required under the GLA Act 1999. The latest report was published in June 2010 and covers the period 2009/10. It sets out the Mayor's objectives and the action taken to implement them (looking at economic recovery, tackling crime and quality of life). It shows progress in preparing the Mayor's strategies, the GLA's progress against performance indicators and financial information. The report is available on the GLA's website at http://www.london.gov.uk/who-runs-london/mayor/publications/government/mayors-annualreport-200910. 

The State of the Environment Report: This is also required to be published under the GLA Act 
1999, and must be published every four years. The most recent report - the second (the first was published in May 2003) - was issued in 2007. It reports progress on many aspects of London's environment, covering 36 specific indicators. There are some similarities with the environmental KPIs in Appendix 1 of this report. The report is available on the GLA website. The third report, which is

| or more GCSEs at grades A-C in      |
| Areas for Regeneration relative to  |
| the LEA as a whole.                 |
The Standard Mortality Ratio in Areas for Regeneration compares better to the London average that it did in 2007. New data shows that the proportion is up on last year, but still slightly down on 2004, the first year for which data is available. The ratio at the end of 2010 was 13:1, comfortably in excess of the requirement Significant progress has been made in developing the Opportunity Areas The number of unemployed Londoners from all groups has risen since the last AMR. Londoners from BAME groups remain twice as likely as their white counterparts to be unemployed in all age groups. However there is an improvement on the ratios reported in AMR6. The difference between London and the rest of the country continues to fall, down to 6.1% 
in May 2010. This is the 5th year 
in a row that the ratio has improved. Analysis of ONS figures at Middle Super Output Area level shows that between 2004 and 2009, the % has risen by 19.07 in Areas for Regeneration compared to 15.72 in London as a whole

Since the base year of 2000, the index of public transport use has risen to 126.1 whereas the index of private transport use has fallen to 89.4. Traffic decreased in all zones and traffic reduction levels remain on course to exceed those required by this indicator. There was a 7.6% increase in passengers but the economic downturn has contributed to a 13% decrease in freight largely due to a decline in the amount of aggregates transported for the construction industry. The government's Comprehensive Spending Review confirmed that funding for major transport infrastructure projects in London was secure. The Mayor's Transport Strategy was published in May 2010. Transport assessments are being carried out in each of the OAPFs and sub-regional transport plans are also in place 
in all five subregions. 
Only 43% of office space permitted falls within the high PTAL bands, but targets for B2 and B8 were met Nearly 9.5 hectares of designated Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation could be lost as a result of planning permissions in 2009/10. However nearly 7 hectares of this is in the Olympic Park and will be offset by future improvements The proportion of municipal waste recycled in London rose by 2% to 27%, but is below the 35% target for 2010

Note: The indicators are those contained in the London Plan Consolidated with Alterations since 
2004, which was published in 2008. This is the version that is currently in force although a full review of the plan is well underway (see section on Review of the London Plan). 

## Progress Against The London Plan'S Six Objectives Objective 1 - To Accommodate London'S Growth Within Its Boundaries Without Encroaching On Open Spaces

 London continues to perform well against this objective. By a significant margin it has consistently exceeded the national 60% benchmark for accommodating growth within its boundaries on brownfield sites. In terms of both site area and number of dwellings approved, 97% of new housing in 2009/10 was on previously developed land and the figures for housing completions were slightly higher. Table 9 shows that the figure dropped below 90% in only four boroughs. Net loss of all types of open space in planning permissions approved has reduced since 2008/9 (from 18.2 hectares to 14.6 ha in 2009/10), though completions made greater inroads into open space last year (-10.9 hectares) than in 2008/9 (-5.6 hectares). Locally, the picture is more complex than these headline statistics would suggest. Development proposals can involve both gains and losses in open space; sometimes losses are temporary, and in other cases they are made up for by reprovison. Perhaps the clearest example of this is the loss of 6 hectares of Metropolitan Open Land in Hackney, which will be made up for by future improvements to the Olympic Park (this area is also mentioned under progress against Objective 6). Most boroughs record little or no loss. A total of 16.8 hectares of protected open space have been subject to planning approvals in 
2009/10. Most of the loss which did occur in 2009/10 was limited to a few boroughs and is part of a larger redevelopment that will be compensated for by other environmental improvements. Table 18 shows that most boroughs (18) have completed an Open Space Strategy to inform their local protection policies, 8 have one in preparation/draft and 7 have other strategies in place. Measures of the density of new housing development show a complex picture. Density of residential approvals has risen in 2009/10. At 148 dwellings per hectare it is still below the peak of 151 dwellings per hectare in 2007/08 but up on 2008/09. The density of new completions has also increased from 117 dwellings per hectare in 2007/8 to 139 in 2009/10. When compared to the densities suggested in the density matrix in the London Plan, 2009/10 saw 56% of units in schemes that exceed the suggested maximum density level. As in previous years, this means that less than half of approvals (rather than the 95% target) are within the appropriate density range for particular locations. The Mayor's recent Interim Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance, which shows how 2008 
London Plan policy should be implemented to more effectively achieve this target, was introduced after the cut off date for this AMR and so does not bear on its results. For the future, its potential impact should be reinforced by refined policy and a revised KPI in the new Draft Replacement London Plan which place greater emphasis on optimising housing output in particular locations rather than simply seeking to increase density. 

 

## Objective 2 - To Make London A Better City For People To Live In

 Housing provision remains fundamental to making London a better city to live in but, as in the rest of the country, economic conditions have reduced output. AMR 6 correctly anticipated that the reduction in approvals recorded in 2008/9 might presage a reduction in completions in 2009/10. 

Completions of conventional homes fell by 16% to some 24,300 from the 2008/9 peak of 29,000 - and to below the 27,600 dwellings per annum long term monitoring target for this type of accommodation. However, the substantial decline in approvals appears to be abating. In 2008/9 approvals fell by over 40% from their 2007/8 peak of 80,500 but between 2008/9 and 2009/10 the reduction was only 5%, to 44,100 - a figure only slightly down on the average recorded over the last decade. London's planning pipeline remains substantial with capacity for over 170,000 homes - equivalent to nearly 6 years' supply - and should not constrain development when the market recovers. Affordability remains a major housing issue for Londoners and despite the recession affordable housing output has remained significant, albeit not at the levels of the recent past. The proportion of net new conventional housing which is affordable remains at 37%, the same as 2008/9, but output has fallen back from its 10,800 peak then to 9,000 in 2009/10. Improving provision of 'Lifetime' and 'wheelchair accessible' homes is also important in making London a better city to live in for all its residents and the proportion of 'Lifetime' homes approved has risen from 54% in 2008/9 to 70% in 2009/10. The proportion of approved new 'wheelchair accessible' homes has remained constant at 7%. 

 
Objective 3 - To make London a more prosperous city Though London fared better than the country as a whole during 2008-09, both went through a deep and long recession. London began to emerge from this in 2009-10. GLA Economics consider that the recovery is likely to be bumpy, with households feeling squeezed due to job insecurity, relatively stagnant wages and rising prices. These pressures have borne on the indicators measuring progress against the London Plan's social and economic objectives in 2009/10. Economic output fell by 4.9% from its mid 2008 peak to the third quarter of 2009 but by the second quarter of 2010 had risen by 2.4%. On an annual basis, a positive outturn may be expected for 2011 and 2012 when GLA Economics project output growth of 2.4 per cent in 2011 and 2.9 per cent in 2012. Employment is forecast to grow by 0.6 per cent in 2011 and by 1.0 per cent in 2012. The impact of the recession on London employment, and more particularly, the pattern of recovery in 2009 -10 are both difficult to gauge at present. Official employment figures1 are not available for 2010 and there is some uncertainty as to how far those for 2009 reflect actual job levels. For example, public transport passenger ridership has held up quite well since mid 2008 and the Annual Population Survey (admittedly compiled on a very different basis to the BRESS2 official employment figures) even shows a slight increase in the total number of workers in London between 2008 and 2009 (see Table 28). In contrast, the official figures for broadly the same period showed a loss of 
192,000 employee jobs. These losses are cause for concern for policy makers. However, the indications to date are that London's employment losses would appear not to have been on the same scale as those recorded during the recession of the early 1990s when it lost almost half a million jobs (see Figure 1). 

 

 Map 1 shows that in percentage terms the greatest jobs losses during 2008 - 2009 were concentrated in suburban boroughs, with Sutton, Richmond, Croydon, Ealing and Waltham Forest experiencing employment loss of more than 7.4% in 2008 - 2009. However, in absolute terms jobs losses more closely mirrored concentrations of employment, with the greatest numbers of workplace jobs lost in Westminster (-23,000), Islington (-13,000), Hillingdon and Croydon (-12,000 each) and the City of London (-11,000). 

In the country as a whole a disproportionate percentage (85%) of employment loss has been among full time jobs. This is also true in London, but to a less marked extent (81%) even though full time employment is more common here (74% of all employment) than in Great Britain (68%). In absolute terms, the five sectors with the greatest job losses were administrative and support service activities (-49,800), finance and insurance (-34,000), information and communication (- 28,800), transport and storage (-24,300) and construction (-22,700). In 2008 these sectors accounted for 35% of London's total employment and in the period 2008 - 2009 for 83% of its net job loss. Over the same period employment in health, social work, education and real estate grew and there was no change in public administration and defence. The unemployment claimant count in London has remained below that for the country as a whole since the onset of the recession. The internationally defined unemployment rate has remained above it but broadly stable at around 9% (Figure 2). 

Objective 4 - To promote social inclusion and tackle deprivation and discrimination The London Plan is based upon the principles of spatial planning - that is, it deals not just with conventional land use matters, but integrates these with the spatial aspects of a range of other policy areas, including issues of social policy. The KPIs supporting these objectives are aimed at showing whether the gaps between disadvantaged communities and other Londoners are being addressed. London's status as a world city owes much to its global connectivity. This openness has been a great asset to London but meant that London was not immune to the recent global recession. That recession has affected progress in the Mayor's objective of reducing Black and Minority Ethnic 
 
unemployment in absolute terms and has seen a growth in youth unemployment across all groups. However, London's economy is resilient, as demonstrated by the fact that there was a slower growth in the number of lone parents on income support in London when compared to the national picture. 

There is also good news in the longer term, against a background of improving school performance across London as a whole, with a faster rate of improvement in regeneration areas. 

Objective 5 - To improve London's accessibility The ongoing, substantial investment in public transport by TfL, Network Rail, Government and the private sector continues to improve London's accessibility and thus help ease congestion on the road network. Central Government has recognised the importance of improving London's accessibility in the Comprehensive Spending Review by ensuring the funding for the tube upgrades and Crossrail. In April 2010 the Mayor altered the London Plan to enable him to raise contributions towards the cost of Crossrail through the planning system. For the calendar year 2010, £235,000 was raised. In 2011 there will be further improvements to the DLR to Stratford. London Overground, which passes through 20 of the 33 boroughs, will see further sections open in north London in 2011 and south London in 2012. London Overground passes through some of the more deprived parts of London. 

Improving its service may help people living near to stations access a wider range of job opportunities. Progress will continue to be made on upgrading London Underground lines, improving the capacity and reliability of the network, which is essential to London's economic success. The recent fall in river cargo is thought to be more of a reflection of short term economic difficulties than a longer term structural change in transport patterns. In several important areas of planning policy (dealing, for example, with housing density and parking provision), the London Plan uses public transport accessibility levels (PTALs). At the recent examination in public of the draft replacement London Plan, questions were raised about how developers and others can make sure they are working on the basis of the most recent PTALs, given that they change as public transport services are altered and improved. The Mayor's representatives agreed that the definitive PTAL map for each year would be published in this Report, which will allow all concerned to assure themselves that they are using the correct data. It has been decided that it would be useful to start this practice this year, and the definitive map is given in Map 2. It will then be possible to confirm that extracts from that map provided by TfL relate to this definitive version. The view of AMR users about the usefulness of this approach would be welcomed. 

 

 
Objective 6 - To make London a more attractive, well-designed and green city There is a slow, but steady improvement in London's ability to handle its own waste. Recycling rates are improving, more is being managed within London, less waste is being generated. Through his municipal and business waste strategies, and in conjunction with the London Waste and Recycling Board (LWaRB), the Mayor is targeting those sectors that can help make the biggest improvements to London's waste performance. The boroughs are bringing forward waste planning documents to ensure enough land is allocated to deal with the waste arising in their areas. Good progress has been made on assessing flood risk with almost all boroughs meeting requirements to carry out Strategic Flood Risk Assessments. Despite the recent economic downturn, the number of listed buildings at risk has remained stable and low. While it is true that some land of nature conservation importance has been lost, it is usually only part of a site, rather than all of it, and these losses are often to enable development that can then fund improvements to the overall quality of the remaining site, which can result in an overall benefit to biodiversity. This year's data include the loss of one large site in Hackney which is part of the Olympics site. Post-Olympics, this loss will be more than compensated for through longer-term plans for use and management of the Olympic site and Park.

Progress on Major Developments Appendix 3 contains a summary of progress on implementing development for each of the Opportunity Areas and Areas for Intensification identified in the London Plan. 

Summary of Mayoral Planning Activity 
 
Review of the London Plan Under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended), the Mayor is required to publish and keep up-to-date a spatial development strategy (SDS), widely known as the London Plan. This is intended to set out the Mayor's strategy for the development of London, and to bring together the spatial aspects of all his other strategies. The first iteration of the London Plan was published in 
2004; the most recent version is that published consolidated with alterations in February 2008. In December 2008, the Mayor announced his intention to carry out a full review of the Plan, with a view to bringing forward a new (or "replacement") version before the end of 2011. Initial proposals for a new Plan were published for consultation in April 2009, with a draft replacement Plan being issued in October of the same year. An examination in public was held over nine weeks between June and December 2010, and at time of writing the report of the Panel that conducted the examination is awaited. It is intended that the new London Plan will be published in the autumn of 2011. The Mayor is currently considering the arrangements for implementing the London Plan. These are likely to take the form of an Implementation Framework of documents and initiatives, including a streamlined suite of supplementary guidance, an Implementation Report outlining activities to implement London Plan policies and support infrastructure planning across the capital, and this Annual Monitoring Report. Further details of this new approach will be set out in the next AMR. 

 
Planning decisions The Town and Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 came into force on 6 April 2008 and requires local planning authorities to refer strategic planning applications to the Mayor (the Order defines what is strategic). The Order requires the Mayor to provide a statement of whether he considers the application to conform to the London Plan and the reasons for this conclusion within six weeks of receipt of the referral. The Mayor has the power to direct a borough to refuse planning permission but he does not have the power to direct a borough to grant planning permission. On certain applications, which meet criteria set out in the Order, he can however direct a borough that he will become the local planning authority and determine the application himself. The Order applies to applications submitted on or after the 6 April 2008. The Town and Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2000 still applies to those applications submitted before the 6 April 2008. Following discussions between the Mayor and London boroughs, the Government has indicated its intention to amend the Mayor of London Order to increase the threshold for referral of applications, so that he only sees those proposing more than 400 units of new housing. It is anticipated that this change will be made during the summer of 2011. In spite of the continuing uncertainty brought on from the economic crisis, 2010 has seen a slight increase in the number of applications referred to the Mayor. The increase from 240 in 2009, to 258 in 2010 represents a rise of 7.5%. However, there still remained a 12% decrease in referable applications in 2010 when compared to the average amount of referrals in the previous 4 years. This decline in activity is not uniform across London, with the Inner London boroughs displaying a 19% 
decrease in referable cases (in spite of such boroughs as Lambeth showing a 40% increase in activity to the 4 year average) whilst the Outer London boroughs show a very mild decrease in referable 

cases of just 0.75%. The City of London has seen a dramatic increase from 1 referable case in 2009 to 5 in 2010; however it still remains well below the high of 20 in 2007. This year also saw the Mayor use his "call-in" powers in a further two planning applications. The Mayor granted permission for the Southall Gas Works application in Hayes following Ealing and Hillingdon's decision to refuse the application and he also issued a notice to the London Borough of Merton stating that he would act as the local planning authority for the purposes of determining the SITA Recycling application on Benedict Road.

Development Plan Documents Following the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 all local authorities are required to produce a local development framework. The local development framework is a portfolio of local development documents, comprising development plan documents and supplementary planning documents. Borough local development schemes (LDS) are the local planning authority's work plan for the production of local development documents (LDD) that will collectively form the Local Development Framework for each of the boroughs. Every London borough produced an original LDS by April 2005. These have been revised at different periods since. In June 2008 a new power for the Mayor over borough LDSs was introduced. The GLA Act 2007 
amended the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act so that the Mayor may direct that amendments be made to the LDS if it is necessary to ensure that key policies of the London Plan are reflected in the LDD work programme. The Mayor may also direct a local planning authority to prepare a revision to their LDS. In 2010, the Mayor approved 15 LDSs and did not direct amendments to any of them. All London borough LDDs 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 request the Mayor's opinion on general conformity at the same time as the document is submitted to the Secretary of State for examination. Boroughs are also required to consult the Mayor on supplementary planning documents (SPD) 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 2010 the Mayor responded to five SPD consultations. In order to achieve general conformity of LDDs the Mayor has worked proactively with the boroughs, commenting on and holding meetings to discuss informal drafts of documents and meetings to discuss the Mayor's response to consultation. Appendix 5 summarizes all the development plan related consultations that the Mayor has responded to in 2010. In 2010 the Mayor responded to 78 consultations on development plan documents (DPDs). GLA 
officers have also responded to informal drafts of documents in a number of instances. The Mayor gave an opinion of general conformity on 27 DPDs at the pre-submission or submission stages. Most of these DPDs were originally found not to be in general conformity with the London Plan. However ongoing negotiations before and during examinations in public (EIPs) resulted in a number of changes to bring the documents into general conformity with the London Plan. Officers attended six EiPs: Hackney, Kensington and Chelsea, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Westminster and Wandsworth. 

 
Table 6 shows progress by London boroughs in preparing their core strategy development plan documents.

Note: Many boroughs are progressing other DPDs at the same time as their Core Strategy or have adopted DPDs or site-specific Area Action Plans in advance of it, for example Kingston upon Thames's Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan and Hounslow's Employment DPD. 

 
 
London Development Database The London Development Database is the key data source for monitoring planning approvals 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 from approval 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. The value of the LDD is dependent on work by the 

 
boroughs to provide the required data, and the Mayor would take this opportunity to thank all of those concerned in supporting this invaluable resource. 

 
Minor revisions were made to the LDD during 2010. From 1st April 2010 the following changes came into effect: 

- Recording the loss or gain of pitches for gypsies and travellers became a mandatory 
requirement. 
- Apart-hotels and serviced apartments were given their own category separate from other non 
self-contained accommodation. 
- The new C4 use class was added following the Government's decision to introduce a new use 
class for Houses in Multiple Occupation of between 3 to 6 bedrooms. 
 2011 will see the introduction of the following: 

- A requirement to record the Code for Sustainable Homes level of proposed new residential 
dwellings 
- Fields for all parking spaces, including bicycles - A requirement to record whether proposed units are to be built on Greenfield or garden land 
on a unit by unit basis 
 Note: Some boroughs use the London Development Database as a data source for their AMRs, and all are expected to compare the data they publish with the data they have entered onto LDD. This should ensure a level of consistency between data on housing, open space etc which is published in both the borough and GLA AMRs. However some differences in the figures do occur. This can in part be attributed to LDD being a live system which is continually updated and adjusted to reflect the best information available. There are also occasional differences in the way completions are allocated to particular years which may cause discrepancies between borough and GLA AMR data. 

London Planning Awards 2010/11 The Mayor, London First, the Royal Town Planning Institute and London Councils jointly organise the privately-sponsored annual London Planning Awards to showcase and celebrate good planning practice in the capital. The 2009/10 London Planning Awards Ceremony was held on 29 March 2010 in City Hall - full details of shortlisted, commended and winning schemes are given in a PDF 
document which can be found at http://www.londonfirst.co.uk/documents/LPA10_brochure.pdf. The 2010/11 Awards Ceremony was held on 20 January 2011, and full details of the winning and commended entries are given in Table 7. 

 

## Entry Descriptions And Award Citations Taken From The Mayor'S And Sir Simon Milton'S Speeches At The London Planning Awards Ceremony Held On 20 January 2011 In City Hall. 1: Best Built Project Sponsored By Cb Richard Ellis Winner For Its Bold And Successful Architectural Intervention, Its Welcoming Prospect And The Real Sense Of Town Centre Renewal It Has Engendered: Enfield Town Library Submitted By The London Borough Of Enfield With Shepheard Epstein Hunter Architects.

A dramatic yet sensitive and flexible modern addition to Enfield's one hundred year old Carnegie Library, the building has been reoriented to face a much improved green and to attract a broader and younger readership. This library has been turned around - in both senses of the word.  
COMMENDATION for its high degree of community involvement, its profound local regeneration impact, and - not least - its subtle remodelling of public spaces: 
ECI Public Realm Improvements submitted by the London Borough of Islington, with EC1 
New Deals for Communities, and Homes for Islington. 

Broad in scope and vision, this comprehensive approach to public realm enhancement in Islington's city fringe displays a careful attention to detail and demonstrates the value of public engagement, buy-in and continued involvement. 

2: Best Built Project - Community Scale sponsored by Land Securities 

## Winner For Its Iconic Design, Its Responses To Difficult Planning Issues, And Its Lifeenhancing Spirit:

Clapham Manor Primary School submitted by dRMM Architects. 

This polychromatic freestanding addition cleverly marries four new stories to the school's existing three, brings full accessibility throughout, and provides light and airy - and muchloved - extra space. The design was carefully crafted in consultation with staff, pupils and local residents, and the resultant reorientation of the school has dramatically improved security and safety in the neighbouring public realm. 

## Commendation For Its Community Involvement, Its Imagination, And Its Narnia-Like Qualities:

The Barn & Eco Garden at the Eastern Curve, Dalston submitted by J & L Gibbons, with MUF Architecture/art, Nicholas Henniger (EXYZ), Martin Stockley Associates, Appleyards DWB, Objectif, Design for London and the LDA, Hackney Council and the Eastern Curve Steering Group. 

The pride and passion of local activists is on full display in this magical space squeezed behind clusters of town centre buildings on rescued backland. With an ambitious programme of educational, cultural and horticultural activities, and strong local support, this new open space has added an extra dimension to Dalston. 

3: Best Conceptual Project sponsored by Berwin Leighton Paisner 

## Winner For Its Remarkable Imagination And Ambition: London River Park Submitted By Gensler.

From left field comes an ingenious proposal to link the main historic attractions along the north shore of the Thames via a fully accessible, floating river walk. Timed for completion in 2012, five linked temporary pavilions will celebrate the 'Best of British', and leave a lasting legacy of new mooring facilities, ferry terminals and an open air swimming pool. 

## Entry Descriptions And Award Citations Taken From The Mayor'S And Sir Simon Milton'S Speeches At The London Planning Awards Ceremony Held On 20 January 2011 In City Hall. 4: Best New Place To Live Winner For Its Inspirational And Well Thought Out Responses To The Challenges Of Elderly Living: Ewart House & Abigail House Extra Care Housing At Richards Close, Harrow Submitted By Harrow Churches Housing Association And Octavia Housing.

This splendid care and support scheme for frail older people mixes independent living - each flat has its own front door - with communal facilities, and provides assistance on call 24 hours a day.  Including extra care and wheelchair accessible accommodation, this well-crafted development scores highly on measures of environmental sustainability. 

## Commendation For Its Real Place-Making Achievements, And Its Sense Of Community: Beaufort Park Submitted By St George Central London.

This substantial new place in outer London ticks all the boxes.  Carefully put together with many partners; its homes - 42% affordable and 97% lifetime, no less; open spaces; and the shops, businesses and community facilities in its new neighbourhood centre have transformed this corner of Barnet.

## Winner For Its High Degree Of Community Involvement, Its Attention To Detail And Its Elegant Design:

Bermondsey Square submitted by East architecture, landscape, urban design. 

Developed in partnership with users and neighbours, this precise design is carefully detailed.  
The revitalised square integrates successfully public and privately managed space and provides a flexible arena for everyday activities and special events, whilst continuing to host Bermondsey's historic weekly antiques market. 

## Commendation For Successfully Blending Of A Multitude Of Themes, And For The Joyful Integration Of Art, Craft And Leisure: Waterside Gardens, Crayford Submitted By The London Borough Of Bexley.

Drawing freely from local history and heritage for design inspiration, this expertly conceived and implemented local park provides a delightful oasis in the centre of Crayford.  The opportunity to improve the River Cray - which flows along the edge of the Gardens - has been well taken.   
6: Best Built Project Five Years On sponsored by GVA 
WINNER The airport may have been its focus, but its head has not been in the clouds.  

## For Its Overwhelming Regenerative Impact: Dlr London City Airport Extension Submitted By Docklands Light Railway.

A daring addition to the DLR, this extension has for the first time brought rail access to London City Airport, solving many complex planning problems on the way and opening up numerous development opportunities.  It has also massively increased accessibility to the City and the West End through its link to Woolwich Arsenal south of the river, and has - year on year - seen ridership grow significantly ahead of projections. 

7: Best Historic Building Management sponsored by English Heritage 

## Winner For Its Sensitive Remodelling Of The Public Realm Fronting A National Icon: St Paul'S Church Yard Submitted By The City Of London, With Townshend Landscape Architects, Arup And Project Centre.

Following an extensive programme of public consultation, the public realm fronting St Paul's has been thoughtfully reworked to manage the huge increases in visitors following the opening of the Millennium Bridge.  Featuring formal and informal, and temporary and permanent elements - including an historic drinking fountain rescued from Guildhall, its waters rendered potable - this impressive treatment is a great success.

Update on inter regional issues Established in 2000, the Advisory Forum on Regional Planning for London, the South East and East of England (the Inter Regional Forum) met regularly to consider significant cross-regional planning issues, with the Chair and Secretariat function rotating between the three regions every two years. Against the backdrop of fundamental changes to the arrangements for regional planning outside London3, regional leaders met in June 2010 to consider a way forward.  The Inter Regional Forum is currently in abeyance pending decisions about the future arrangements to be made in the East and South East regions, with cross-boundary work proceeding at officer level as and when required. The position will be reviewed once governance arrangements in the neighbouring regions have been resolved. 

Outer London Commission The Outer London Commission's final report was published in May 2010. http://www.london.gov.uk/olc/ 
Olympic and Paralympic Games The development of the Olympic Park and venues continues apace (see the Olympic Delivery Authority website for more details: http://www.london2012.com/making-it-happen/). The main venues are nearing completion (the Velodrome was completed as this report went to press) and much of the infrastructure needed for the Games is now in place. The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) has launched its 25-year vision and legacy masterplan for the Olympic Park and the surrounding area, and work is underway to procure operators for the venues. Work has started on the Mayor's Olympic Legacy Supplementary Planning Guidance (see draft replacement London Plan policy 2.4), and the Mayor of London has begun consultation on his proposals to re-form the OPLC into a Mayoral Development Corporation, as defined in the Government's Localism Bill, that would drive forward regeneration and development in the area (for more details: 
www.london.gov.uk/mdcconsultation) 
 
The Mayor is also working in partnership with government and the boroughs to maximise the wider socio-economic benefits across London from the transport investment associated with the Games, and to capture the volunteering, employment, skills and business development legacies. He remains 

 
committed to the range of work being undertaken with the six east London Host Boroughs to achieve 'convergence' between those boroughs and the rest of London. 

Looking to the Future This year saw a new Coalition Government with ambitious policies to change the planning system to ensure it is less top-down and more "localist". The Government's Localism Bill takes those policies forward, abolishing regional spatial strategies, and putting in place provision for neighbourhood planning. The Mayor has anticipated these changes in his draft replacement London Plan, with the aim of making it - and the various documents and workstreams to support its implementation - a "resource for localism", providing a clear Londonwide perspective and direction to inform and support planning at more local levels, and providing information and practical advice. More details about this will be given in next year's AMR. The economic situation continues to be a challenge for all those involved in planning, both in supporting development through a difficult time for the sector, and in finding ways of ensuring delivery of the infrastructure a growing city needs at a time when public resources are short. The planning system will have a key role to play in this - an example is the Mayor's proposals for a Community Infrastructure Levy to help fund Crossrail. 

 

## Appendix 1 - Key Performance Indicators The London Plan Sets Out 28 Key Performance Indicators (Kpis). These Are Intended To Enable Monitoring Of The Overall Thrust Of The London Plan'S Suite Of Policies Rather Than To Identify The Impact Of Single Policies Individually. The Key Performance Indicators Are Reported Below Under The Most Relevant Of The London Plan'S Six Objectives. Objective 1 - To Accommodate London'S Growth Within Its Boundaries Without Encroaching On Open Spaces Key Performance Indicator 1 Increasing 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. Amr 7 Shows That In 2009/10 London Continued To Exceed The National Target (60%) For Building On Brownfield Land By A Substantial Margin, And With 99% Of Completions And 97% Of Approvals On Brownfield Land, To Achieve The Mayor'S More Demanding Target Of Accommodating At Least 96% Of Residential Development On Previously Developed Land.

Note: The percentage is calculated using residential planning permissions granted / completed during the financial year. Completions are allocated to the year in which the final part of the scheme is finished. Only permissions for which a site area can be calculated are included. Details and Reserved Matters permissions are not included in Approvals but are included in Completions. As noted in AMR 6, London Development Database (LDD) figures from previous years have been reviewed for AMR 7 using the new calculation method which takes into account changes in the way that non-residential elements of residential schemes are excluded from the final calculations.

Key Performance Indicator 2 
Increasing the density of residential development  
Target Over 95 per cent of development to comply with the housing density location and SRQ matrix Table 10 and Table 11 compare the residential density of each scheme against the PTAL score (for example, see Map 2 for the 2009/10 map, although contemporary maps were used for the calculations) and the setting (based on the Character Areas map published on page 94 of the Strategic Land Availability Assessment) for each development to test whether the development is within, above or below the relevant density range. Preparation of the Draft Replacement London Plan provided an opportunity to present this information on a consistent basis in this AMR. Table 12 shows the previously published figures. It should be noted that Interim Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) on implementation of density policy in the 2008 London Plan was published in April 2010, i.e. after collection of the data for 2009/10 presented here. It is intended that this SPG should support achievement of the target for 95% of development to comply with the Plan's density policy.

Source: London Development Database Note: Table 10 to Table 14 are based on all residential approvals / completions for which a site area could be calculated. Density is calculated by dividing the total number of units by the total residential site area. LDD started collecting data on schemes with less than 10 dwellings in 2000. 

Due to the time lag between approval and completion, density figures are not calculated for years prior to 2006/07 

Key Performance Indicator 3 
Protection of open space  
Target No net loss of open space designated for protection in UDPs due to new development. Table 15 shows all losses and gains of open space recorded on the London Development Database. 

It is not restricted to open space designated in borough plans. As we do not currently monitor the designation of new open space, looking at changes in all open space serves as a proxy measure of this indicator. The definition of open space used is based on the advice in PPG17. The LDD excludes all private residential gardens as well as other areas within the curtilage of previously developed sites. The exceptions are outdoor sports facilities which may be within school grounds and spaces designated for conservation or protection, which are included even though they may be within the curtilage of a developed site. A new category of "Brownfield Land" has been added to the database to allow for previously developed land within areas designated for conservation or protection to be recorded. 

Brownfield land will not be recorded as a loss of open space in Table 15.

Source: London Development Database. All figures are in hectares. The net loss of open space of just under 15 hectares is down on the 18 hectares recorded in 2008/09. The largest net loss of open space is in Hackney, the majority of which is within the Olympic Park and will be compensated for by other improvements across the site as a whole. Next is Brent where the biggest single loss is of sports pitches to make way for the new Ark Academy in Wembley. Part of the site will be retained for all-weather sports facilities and a new natural habitat area. The creation of a new cancer research centre within the grounds of the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton will see the loss of 2 hectares of land that is within a Site of Local Importance for conservation but is not protected by the designations covered in Table 16. Two boroughs have approved large net gains of open space. Newham has approved several small new open spaces as well as 4 hectares of parkland on the former gasworks site in Beckton. The biggest net gain is in Tower Hamlets. This includes 1.6 hectares of new civic space at a former print works in Wapping and 2 hectares of open spaces in the Wood Wharf scheme on the Isle of Dogs. Table 16 shows the losses of protected open space as an alternative proxy measure. Straight swaps of one open space type to another within a single permission are excluded where it can be assumed that the quality of the open space will be preserved or enhanced. The types of open space protection recorded on LDD are Green Belt, Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) and Local Open Spaces. These are different from the designations for nature conservation recorded in Table 38.

Source: London Development Database. All figures are in hectares. The corresponding table in AMR6 contained all changes in protected open space recorded on LDD. 

For AMR7 it has been decided to remove schemes where both existing and proposed open space are equal. This helps to avoid the artificial inflation of losses where re-provision can clearly be demonstrated. The revised London Total figures for 2008/09 are shown in the final row of Table 16 
to allow for an accurate comparison. The total loss of less than 17 hectares of protected open space in permissions granted during 
2009/10 is down on the 22 hectares during 2008/09. 

The largest single permission in the green belt is for the extension of Goodmayes Hospital in Redbridge. The new building is adjacent to existing buildings and is within the bounds of the site of the existing hospital. The losses of MOL in Hackney are in the Olympic Park area and will be compensated for by improvements across the site as a whole. The loss of 3.75 hectares in Greenwich is part of the Ferrier Estate development. Again, this loss will be compensated for by the creation of new open spaces and habitat areas across the site as a whole. The largest single loss of a Local Open Space is also part of the Ferrier Estate redevelopment in Greenwich which is part of the redevelopment and improvement of the wider area. Details of all schemes resulting in a loss of over half a hectare are provided in the following table.

Objective 2 - To make London a better city for people to live in 
 
Key Performance Indicator 4 
An increased supply of new homes Target Completion of at least 30,500 new homes a year Table 19 and Table 20 show net conventional completions and approvals of dwellings. Differences from previously published data are due to continuous updating of the LDD system. The 16% reduction in completions from peak output in 2008/9 (and the 5% reduction in approvals) 
are likely to reflect the national downturn in the housing market associated with the recent recession. The London Plan housing target in Table 19 provides a long term, average provision benchmark spanning what are likely to be different stages in the housing development cycles over a decade.

Note: 'Vacants' are private sector dwellings vacant in excess of 6 months. They are taken from figures published by CLG. Figures for Lewisham and Merton are not supplied, The London Development Database applies a consistent methodology to the recording of completions data across London. As a result the figures may differ from those published in boroughs' own AMRs, where local practices on recording partial completions of schemes, completions missed from previous years and losses of existing units will affect figures for each individual year. These differences should become less significant when viewing completion trends over time.

Lifetime Homes and Wheelchair Accessible Housing The London Development Database began collecting data on whether new dwellings are designed to meet Lifetime Homes and Wheelchair Accessibility standards on permissions granted from 01/04/2008 onwards. The data is proving difficult for some boroughs to collect, which may explain the significant variation between boroughs on their delivery of Lifetime Homes and Wheelchair Accessible Homes. For more information on the Lifetime Homes standard see the web site at http://www.lifetimehomes.org.uk/index.php. These standards have been reflected in the Mayor's draft Housing Design Guide to help designers more easily address inclusive design standards at the outset of the design process specifically for development on LDA owned land and for homes which will receive public subsidy after April 2011. The GLA has also supported Urban Design London in the provision of Inclusive Design Training courses for planners and urban designers. For more information see http://www.urbandesignlondon.com/ For more information on the key features of wheelchair accessible housing see the GLA Best Practice Guide at http://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/bpg-wheelchair-acc-housing.pdf. For full details see Habinteg's Wheelchair Housing Design Guide at http://www.habinteg.org.uk/main.cfm?type=WCHDG. All figures in Table 22 and Table 23 are 'gross' (i.e. don't subtract existing units) and calculated at 
'scheme level'. This means that some units may be counted twice in cases where a revision to part of a scheme, usually in the form of details or reserved matters, is approved in the same year as the original permission. LDD records four development types, new build, extension, change of use and conversion, Table 23 
only includes new build units and extensions, while Table 22 includes all development types. 

Although developers should seek to construct all new dwellings to meet Lifetime Homes standards, there are often practical difficulties that can arise when seeking to modify existing buildings through conversion or change of use.

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 Table 24 shows that in 2009/10, net affordable housing output from conventional completions in absolute terms was some 9,000, which is down on the 10,800 completed in 2008/9. However in proportional terms output has held steady at 37%. As noted in AMR 6, the London Housing Strategy (LHS) investment target for affordable housing should not be confused with the affordable housing target set out in the London Plan. The LHS investment target includes new build and acquisitions, but the London Plan target is measured in terms of net conventional supply: that is, supply from new developments or conversions, adjusted to take account of demolitions and other losses. The LHS/investment figure is therefore generally higher than the planning target. Monitoring achievement of the London Plan target is based on output from the London Development Database while monitoring achievement of the LHS 
investment targets uses the more broadly based figures provided by CLG (see Appendix 8 - Housing Provision in London 2009/10: Annual Monitor) The London Plan definition should be used for calculating affordable housing targets for development planning purposes including planning targets which show the proportion of housing supply that is affordable. As with housing provision as a whole, affordable housing returns to the LDD are updated continuously and details in AMR 7 may not match those in previous Reports. Because local affordable housing output can vary considerably from year to year, it is more meaningful to test individual borough performance against a longer term average. Figure 3 shows average affordable housing output as a proportion of overall conventional housing provision over the three years to 2009/10. During this period affordable housing output averaged 36.8% of total provision. Figure 3 shows three year average performance of individual boroughs relative to this. In the draft replacement London Plan the Mayor has signalled his intention to replace the 50% 
target in the 2008 Plan with a numeric target of 13,200 affordable homes per year. The Mayor intends to work with boroughs to enable them to set local targets to make their contribution towards achieving this taking into account local and strategic needs. These new targets may be expressed by borough in numeric or percentage terms as appropriate to local circumstances. However, while this new approach to target setting will be of increasing materiality as the replacement Plan proceeds to final publication, the benchmark for statutory planning monitoring purposes will remain the 50% target in the 2008 Plan. Table 25 shows how boroughs' own planning targets currently relate to the 2008 50% strategic target and how they are achieving their local targets

Notes: When calculating net figures for phased schemes, LDD allocates unit losses to the year in which the final proposed unit in a scheme is completed. This can lead to negative net figures when large phased redevelopments reach their completion. The negative figure in Waltham Forest is due to the completion of the Beaumont Road Estate redevelopment in which 296 units are being lost and only 49 of 199 proposed affordable units were completed in 2009/10. The loss in Sutton is due to 114 units being lost in the Roundshaw development in which the final 41 of the 112 proposed affordable units were completed during 2009/10.

Key Performance Indicator 5a Reducing Health Inequalities Target By 2026, reducing by at least 10% the gap between life expectancy at birth in Areas for Regeneration and the average in London This indicator was introduced in the London Plan (Consolidated with Alterations) 2008. It has since been found that data to support this indicator are not directly available. Indicators 5a and 5b are being reviewed as part of the process of producing the Replacement London Plan, and it is intended that an alternative indicator, which can be more easily monitored, will be used in future. The data in Table 26 are calculated using Office for National Statistics figures for annual life expectancy for males and females which are only available at borough level. As the life expectancy at ward level is not known, each regeneration area has been assumed to have the same level as the borough in which it is located. An average life expectancy for all Regeneration Areas has then been calculated based on the population in each Regeneration Area and their assumed life expectancy. 

This means that the resulting figures are strongly influenced by the life expectancies in the six boroughs with the highest populations in regeneration wards namely, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Islington, Southwark and Haringey. These six boroughs account for 68% of the population within regeneration wards. It is recognized that this approach may well under estimate the gap, as the regeneration wards are generally expected to have a lower life expectancy than the average for the borough in which they are located.

Source: ONS and GLA 2009 Round Demographic Projections There has been a consistent improvement in the life expectancy at birth in both the the areas for regeneration and in London as a whole. The gap has reduced for both men and women between 2000-02 and 2007-09. It is important to note that a death is a 'semi-random' event and therefore this indicator will not necessarily show a monotonic improvement due to the relatively small numbers of events involved. Trends will become more easily discernable over a longer period. 

Key Performance Indicator 5b Reducing Health Inequalities Target By 2015, reducing by at least 10% the gap between the age standardized death rate from coronary heart disease per 100,000 people in Areas for Regeneration and the average in London This indicator was introduced in the London Plan (Consolidated with Alterations) 2008. It is now apparent that the data to support this indicator are not directly available and, as with KPI 5a above, this indicator is being reviewed for the Replacement London Plan. For the purposes of AMRs 5 onwards, the indicator has been altered to show the Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR) - using Ischaemic deaths in London by age and gender as the basis of the calculation. The SMR compares actual total deaths to deaths expected if the death rates in the standard population (in this case London) apply to the population of the regeneration areas (disaggregated by 5-year age groups and gender). SMR is expressed as a percentage of the expected deaths. Input data for this indicator are particularly volatile due to the relatively small numbers of Ischaemic deaths annually in London. In 2009 there were 4,045 male and 2,975 female Ischeamic deaths. In the regeneration boroughs the totals were 637 and 398 respectively.

Objective 3 - To make London a more prosperous city Key Performance Indicator 6 
Increasing sustainability and social inclusion by increasing the proportion of London residents working in jobs in London over the plan period (to 2026) 
Target  
Net increase in the proportion of London residents working in London AMR6 included data from the 1991 and 2001 censuses as well as data on out-commuting from the Labour Force Survey as a proxy measure for this indicator. However for this AMR the GLA's Data Management and Analysis Group (DMAG) have compiled figures from the Annual Population Surveys back to 2004 which give a good picture of in and out-commuting in London over this period. This Office for National Statistics data shows that the proportion of London residents working in London showed a small increase in 2009 for the second year in a row, but at 91.3% it is still slightly below the level in 2004, the first year for which data is available. The data also shows that the number of Londoners working in London has increased each year, although at a slightly slower rate than the total number of workers in London. Currently 75.2% of London's jobs are taken by London residents compared to 76% in 2004.

Ensure that there is sufficient development capacity in the office market. 

Target The stock of permissions (measured as net lettable) should be at least three times the average rate of starts over the preceding three years. This edition of the Annual Monitoring Report continues to utilise data from EGi London Offices, but has also included a comparable measure using data from the London Development Database (LDD). 

Final permissions and starts data from the LDD for 2010 are not yet available, hence the absence of a ratio figure for 2010. The variation between the two ratios is accounted for by the different definitions used in the datasets4. According to the EGi data, the ratio of permissions to average three years starts at end 2010 was 
13:1. In the most recent set of comparable figures for 2009, the ratio of permissions to starts was 
10:1 according to EGi and 7:1 according to LDD, both comfortably in excess of the target of 3:1.

Over the period 2004-2010 the office floorspace permissions recorded by LDD are typically 60-70% of the floorspace recorded 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) 

In 2010 the volume of construction starts was 308,000 sq metres net, an increase of 52% on the 
2009 figure of 203,000 sq metres net. Construction starts continued to be constrained by the lack of conventional debt funding for office development, remaining well below the average rate of starts over the period 1985-2010 of 585,000 sq metres net. Of the 308,000 sq metres net commenced in 2010, 141,000 sq metres net (46%) was located in the City market area, 87,000 sq metres net (28%) in the West End and 43,000 sq metres net (14%) in the South Bank. Starts in the City market were dominated by The Pinnacle scheme at Bishopsgate, EC2, which at 116,810 sq metres net accounted for 39% of all Central London starts. Press comment, however, suggests that the development was not fully funded at the end of 2010. Six other schemes which started in the City market included five schemes in the City Fringe where offices formed part of mixed-use residential developments. Fourteen schemes commenced in the West End, including five schemes over 10,000 sq metres net: Selborne House, 54-60 Victoria Street, SW1 (30,000 sq metres net), Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, SW1 (22,000 sq metres net), Park House, Park Street, W1 (18,000 sq metres net), 8 Baker Street, W1 (12,000 sq metres net) and Marcol House, Regent Street, W1 (11,000 sq metres net). On the South Bank there was one significant start at London Bridge Quarter with the commencement of 41,000 sq metres net at London Bridge Place, a companion building to The Shard. The planning pipeline of permissions in central London decreased by 9% in 2010 to 3.8 million sq metres net. The overall level of consented development continued to be influenced by very large schemes. Five schemes were each over 100,000 sq metres net and together accounted for 35% of all permitted development, being Wood Wharf, E14 (368,691 sq metres net), King's Cross, NW1 
(364,408 sq metres net), North Quay (Canary Wharf), E14 (298,128 sq metres net), Heron Quays 
(Canary Wharf), E14 (154,540 sq metres net) and Battersea Power Station (126,223 sq metres net). By borough, LB Tower Hamlets continued to have the highest level of outstanding permissions with 1.26 million sq metres net followed by the City of London with 880,000 sq metres net; together these two boroughs accounted for 56% of permissions. There was a further 490,000 sq metres net in LB Camden and 370,000 sq metres net in the City of Westminster which are together broadly analogous to the West End market area. Taken together, these four boroughs accounted for 79% of permitted office development. The occupational market strengthened in 2010 with a reduction in availability and growth in takeup. According to Knight Frank, for example, central London office supply decreased by 20% during 
2010, while take-up increased by 22%. Most agent commentators are projecting growth in rents in 2011, driven in particular by the lack of new, refurbished and Grade A space. Lack of choice for occupiers in ready-to-occupy space could encourage some pre-letting activity leading to construction starts in de-risked schemes. Emerging shortages of the best quality space are expected to stimulate some speculative construction starts in 2011, including major office towers in the City such as the "Walkie-Talkie" at Fenchurch Street and the "Cheesegrater" at Leadenhall Street. It remains the case, however, that bank funding for speculative office development is scarce and as a result construction activity is likely to be led by Real Estate Investment Trusts, funding institutions and sovereign wealth funds with cash to allocate. AMR8 will examine planning and construction data at the end of 2011 and analyse whether the development industry was constrained by the planning system in meeting the needs of occupational market.

Key Performance Indicator 9 
Increased employment opportunities for those suffering from disadvantage in the employment market Target Age specific unemployment rates for black and minority ethnic groups to be no higher than for the white population by 2016, 50 per cent reduction of the difference by 2011 In 2009 Londoners from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups were twice as likely as those from White groups to be unemployed. However, the overall ratio of BAME unemployment to unemployment in White groups has fallen from 2½ to 2 since 2008. The gap in rates is consistent across different age groups, with unemployment most pronounced in the 16-24 age group. The absolute number of people of working-age who are unemployed rose 90,000 from 273,000 in 
2008 to 363,000 in 2009 accounting for a rise of two percentage points in the unemployment rate. Unemployment in white groups aged 16-24 has increased by 4.2 percentage points between 2008 
and 2009, compared with an increase of 3.4 percentage points in BAME groups of the same age. 

Rates for both ethnic groups aged 25-44 have risen by around two percentage points, causing the gap ratio of BAME to White unemployment to fall slightly from 2.3 in 2008 to 1.9 in 2009. The BAME/White unemployed ratio for those aged 45-64 also fell slightly from 2.2 in 2008 to 2.0 in 
2009. 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. Census 2001 data show 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).

Source: Annual Population Survey 2009 Notes: The APS is a sample survey, so all estimates are subject to a degree of sampling variability. The definition of unemployment used here is the ILO measure (International Labour Organisation) which relates to people not in work, who had actively looked for work in the last four weeks and who were available to start work in the next two weeks. Rates express the number unemployed as a proportion of the labour force (i.e. the economically active population). BAME groups refers to all ethnic groups other than White groups. 

 
Key Performance Indicator 10 
Increased employment opportunities for those suffering from disadvantage in the employment market Target Percentage of lone parents dependant on income support to be no higher than the UK average by 
2016, 50 per cent reduction of the difference by 2011 In May 2010 lone parent families in London continued to be more likely to claim Income Support relative to the national average. The number of lone parent families on income support in London has risen by 5,000 between May 2009 and May 2010, equivalent to an increase of one percentage point. Numbers in Great Britain grew at an even faster rate of 2.5 percentage points between 2009 and 2010. This has caused a narrowing of the gap between London and GB rates of 1.5 percentage points over the same period.

Sources: GLA calculations based on data from Department of Work and Pensions & Office for National Statistics Key Performance Indicator 11a Improving the provision of social infrastructure and related services Target  
An increase in the provision of childcare places per 1,000 under fives, particularly in Areas of Regeneration This target was added to the London Plan in 2008 along with current indicator 11b and replaced the previous Key Performance indicator 11. However the data supporting the indicator have since ceased to be produced in a comparable format. Each borough is now required to do an assessment of the sufficiency of childcare, but a full review is only required every three years and there is no uniform format in which the data is returned, thus making it inappropriate to be used as an indicator. The Mayor has therefore decided to draw up a new indicator for the replacement London Plan based on available data. 

Key Performance Indicator 11b Improving the provision of social infrastructure and related services Target An improvement in the percentage of pupils obtaining five or more GCSEs at grades A*-C in Areas of Regeneration relative to the LEA as a whole This target was added to the London Plan in 2008 and replaced the previous Key Performance indicator 11 along with indicator 11a. These data can no longer be sourced from the GLA's Data Management and Analysis Group and are now obtained from the Office for National Statistics. To ensure that the information used is the most authoritative available, it is now grouped by pupil home Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) rather than by home ward as shown in the Plan itself. The figures record the number in the examination cohort and the percentage gaining 5 higher grade GCSE passes. That percentage figure has been used to calculate the number gaining 5 higher grade passes in each MSOA. This information is not directly comparable with that used in AMR 6, so to enable comparison to be made with previous years performance, data for the whole period 2004/5 - 2008/9 has been recalculated on a consistent basis. 2004/05 was chosen as the year for comparison as it is the first year for which comparable data can be calculated. However reporting practice has changed between 
2005 and 2009. In 2004/05 results were reported for pupils at the end of compulsory schooling. In 
2008/09 results were reported for pupils at the end of key stage 4. There is a large degree of overlap between the two groups, but they are not exactly the same. Between 2004/05 and 2008/09 there has been a considerable improvement in the percentage of pupils gaining 5 or more A*-C grade qualifications across London. However the rate of improvement in the MSOAs containing Regeneration Areas has been even better. This pattern has generally been reflected throughout the relevant London boroughs with 20 of the 24 showing a better improvement in their Regeneration MSOAs than across the borough as a whole. Only Camden has shown a rate of improvement that is significantly slower in the Regeneration Areas. In 2004/05 the gap in achievement between all pupils and those in the selected MSOAs was just under 10%. This gap has now fallen to just over 6%.

Objective 5 - To improve London's accessibility 
 
Key Performance Indicator 12 
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 There has been a 26% increase in public transport journey stages per head between 2001 and 2009, compared with 11% decrease in car journeys per head. Public transport journeys per head in 2009 were almost the same as the previous year, with a decrease of less than half a per cent. Public transport use increased steadily between 2001 and 2008 
apart from a dip in 2005 that can be attributed to the impact of the London bombings that July. Private transport in London has generally shown a declining trend over this period. Between 2008 and 2009 there was a further decrease in the use of the car, with the index for private transport falling by 3 per cent after a similar decrease in the previous year. This decline and the slowing of growth in the public transport index are attributable at least partly to the effects on travel demand of the economic downturn of 2008 and 2009. The net result was a further widening of the gap between the public and private indices, representing a net mode shift to public transport.

Note:  figures have been revised from previous AMRs. The indices are derived from the time series of journey stages per head compiled for Travel in London Report 3, published by TfL in December 2010). This includes all travel 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). 

 
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 Monitoring by Transport for London of traffic entering the central London Congestion Charging Zone showed that levels of traffic (for vehicles of four or more wheels) in the centre of London fell by 18 per cent between 2002 and 2003 when charging was introduced. Traffic entering the zone remained relatively stable between 2003 and 2007. Significant incremental falls were observed in 
2008 for some vehicle types leading to a 6 per cent decline for vehicles of four or more wheels, and this trend continued in 2009 with a further 4 per cent decline. In Inner London outside central London, annual traffic declined by 3 percent between 2008 and 2009 following a similar decrease in the previous year. Traffic in 2009 in inner London was 11 
percent below that recorded in 2001. In Outer London, traffic has remained almost constant between 2001 and 2008, with marginal changes of less than 1 per cent (in either direction) in most years. Outer London traffic fell by 3 percent in 2009 to a level that was 4 per cent lower than in 2001.

Source: Transport for London Planning. Estimates derived from data provided by DfT from surveys undertaken for the GB national road traffic series. Updated (December 2010) with revised series as published in Travel in London report 3, section 2.11 Note: Transport for London estimates annual road traffic (vehicle kilometres) in Greater London using data from its own traffic counts and those undertaken for the Department of Transport's National Road Traffic Estimates. TfL's analysis showed that DfT's methodology did not reflect traffic trends in London since 1999 with sufficient accuracy, particularly for minor roads. TfL has produced a series of estimates that are closer to the trends indicated by its own data. Estimates for this London Plan Annual Monitoring Report are based on the TfL traffic series, first published in Travel in London, report 1 (April 2009) for years to 2007 and updated to 2009 in Travel in London, report 3 
(December 2010). 

Key Performance Indicator 14 
Achieve a reduced reliance on the private car and a more sustainable modal split for journeys Target A five per cent increase in passengers and freight transported on the Blue Ribbon Network from 
2001-2011. Table 35 shows that the number of passengers on the Thames is steadily increasing over the baseline situation in 2001. River passengers have more than doubled since 2001 (a 166% increase). Following the events of 7 July 2005, passenger numbers on leisure services fell significantly, but subsequently 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 20 minute frequency throughout the day and every 30 minutes in the late evening. Strong growth in riverbus and leisure services continued in 2008/9 due to the low value of the pound attracting visitors to London and a successful programme of events at the O2 boosting Thames Clippers' patronage. It is anticipated that the number of passengers carried on the Thames will continue to grow, but at a much slower rate as demonstrated by the latest figure. Table 36 deals with cargo carried by river. A significant proportion of the freight transported on the River Thames in the capital is aggregates for the construction industry. The demand/opportunities of this industry have over time significantly influenced changes in trade. This industry has been especially hard hit by the economic conditions.  However, the significant construction projects already committed to or in planning mean that the PLA remains optimistic for the medium term prospects of freight on the River Thames in London. Sufficient wharf capacity is essential to allow freight trade on the Thames to grow. A review of the 2005 Safeguarded Wharves Implementation Plan has commenced and is expected to be published by the end of 2011.

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 In the previous Annual Monitoring Report it was stated that the target 5% increase in capacity between 2001 and 2006 had been met, with a 6% increase in capacity. The Mayor's Transport Strategy was published in May 2010, which set out an indicative programme of transport schemes. It was noted in the Transport Strategy that the funded package of investment in London's transport system is expected to increase public transport capacity in the three-hour AM peak period by over 30% in the period from 2006. The funded package of investment is planned to be delivered over the period to 2020. The outcome of the Government's Comprehensive Spending Review was announced in October 2010 and confirmed funding for key elements of London's transport programme, including Crossrail and the London Underground upgrades. Work is underway on the Tube upgrades, although these works have resulted in a temporary reduction in overall service capacity. Following TfL's acquisition of Tube Lines, the PPP contractor, it is now expected that the Jubilee line upgrade will be delivered in spring 2011. When completed, the Jubilee line upgrade will provide a 33 per cent capacity increase. The Victoria line upgrade, which will provide a 21 per cent capacity increase, is planned to be completed in 2012. The full programme of upgrades will deliver a 30 per cent increase in capacity on the Tube. The Comprehensive Spending Review announcement confirmed funding for Crossrail, with services planned to commence in 2018. This is one year later than previously planned and reflects a more efficient, and cost effective construction timetable. Major construction work for Crossrail is already underway. In 2010, and following the opening of the extension to Woolwich Arsenal in 2009, the capacity of the Docklands Light Railway was upgraded from two-car to three-car trains between Bank and Lewisham, and between Stratford and Lewisham. 

 
 
In May 2010 the former East London Line was replaced with London Overground services including extensions north and south, new trains and four new stations. By May 2011, services will be extended to Highbury & Islington, linking London Overground with the Victoria line and the Richmond to Stratford branches of London Overground. The London Overground extension to Clapham Junction is planned to be delivered by the end of 2012. Work is also underway to allow an increase in capacity on London Overground services between Richmond and Stratford. 

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 The Mayor's Transport Strategy was published in May 2010 and includes a transport programme which was informed by recognition of the overall transport capacity requirements of forecast London Plan growth. In Opportunity and Intensification areas, further analysis is required to understand the impact of more intensive growth. Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks (OAPF) are in progress for a number of different areas including Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea, London Riverside, White City, Upper Lea Valley, London Bridge and Bankside, Earls Court and Croydon. Supplementary Planning Guidance is also being produced for the Olympics Legacy area. A strategic transport study is undertaken for each of these as an input to the OAPF, SPG and/or borough SPD, which includes an assessment to identify transport interventions required to support proposed levels of development. These studies use the sub regional transport models that TfL has recently developed and provide a framework for more detailed work including transport assessments. TfL has also produced sub regional transport plans in collaboration with boroughs and other stakeholders, which set out transport challenges, including the impact of development, and recommend solutions for each of the five sub-regions in London. These plans will remain 'live' documents to be regularly updated as appropriate. 

Key Performance Indicator 17 
Increase in the number of jobs located in areas with high PTAL values Target Maintain at least 50% of B1 development in PTAL zones 5-6 and at least 90% of B2 and B8 
development in Zones 0-2 This target aims to show that high density employment generators such as offices are mainly located in areas with good access to public transport, while major developments in low density uses such as Industry and Storage and Distribution are in suitable out of town centre locations. It was revised for the London Plan 2008 and now formally represents the proxy data that was used in previous AMRs. 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. This is measured using the Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) score generated by Transport for London. The data shows that 43% of permitted B1 development floorspace is in areas with a high PTAL score (5-6), below the 50% target. If permitted B1 development floorspace in PTAL score range 4-6 is taken into account, the percentage rises to 63%. Three significant B1 schemes were permitted in the medium/low PTAL range including Wood Wharf in Tower Hamlets (460,000 sq metres gross), Riverside South, Westferry Circus in Tower Hamlets (371,000 sq metres gross) and the Olympic Press Centre in Hackney (95,000 sq metres gross). All three of these schemes are in locations where public transport accessibility is improving or investments are proposed. The majority of permitted general industry (B2) and storage and distribution (B8) floorspace is in the low PTAL range, (96% and 91% respectively) both above the 90% target.

Source: London Development Database - B1, B2 and B8 approvals. Only permissions with 1,000m2 or more in a 
particular use class are recorded on LDD. They are "gross" figures that do not take account of the existing use. PTAL is 
measured from the location of the site marker, which is generally located in the centre of the site. This means that for 
large sites, such as the Stratford City development, a low PTAL rating will be given despite the large variance across different parts of the site. 
PTAL - Public Transport Accessibility Level B1  - Offices, light industry, research and development uses. B2 - General Industrial uses B8 - Storage and distribution uses including warehouses. 
Objective 6 - To make London a more attractive, well-designed and green city 
 
Key Performance Indicator 18 
Protection of biodiversity habitat  
Target No net loss of designated Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation over the plan period. The London Development Database records the following conservation designations; Statutory Site of Special Scientific Interest, Site of Metropolitan Importance, Site of Borough Grade 1 Importance, Site of Borough Grade 2 Importance and Site of Local Importance. Table 38 records all permissions granted in 2009/10 that include areas with any of these conservation designations. There have been several approvals of planning permissions on protected sites of importance for nature conservation during 2009/10. The majority of them do not represent any actual loss of open space, for example the incorporation of agricultural land into the Stanmore Country Park in Harrow. There are two schemes that account for nearly 8.8 hectares, the majority of the recorded loss. The largest loss is the permission for the media broadcast centre within the Olympic Park which will be compensated for by new parks and improvements to the public realm across the site as a whole. The other is for a new research building within the grounds of the Institute of Cancer Research's campus in Sutton.

Increase in municipal waste recycled or composted Target At least 35 per cent by 2010 At least 45 per cent by 2015 Table 39 shows that London's municipal recycling rate has increased steadily over the previous nine years, increasing annually by two to four percentage points since 2002. The municipal recycling rate in 2009/10 was 27 per cent. Table 40 indicates that London's household recycling rate also increased from 29% in 2008/09 to 32% in 2009/10, although London has a lower household recycling rate than any other region in England. On a positive note, the total amount of municipal waste has continued to decrease. Although the most significant decrease was achieved in 2008/09, the total municipal waste generated in London realised a decrease of a further 2 per cent in 2009/10 from 4.0 million tonnes to 3.8 million tonnes.

Increase in household waste recycled or composted Target Achievement of quantified requirement for waste treatment facilities The London Plan was reviewed after publication of 'Planning Policy Statement 10: Planning for sustainable waste management'. As part of this, each London borough was apportioned an amount of waste for which an appropriate amount of land must be identified to manage that waste. The sum total of waste to be managed across all the boroughs equates to 85% waste self-sufficiency for London as a whole. Individual borough apportionment targets are listed in Table 42. The Mayor is proposing updated waste arising and apportionment figures in the draft Replacement of the London Plan.  

To ensure that apportionment targets are met, Waste Development Plan Documents (DPD) are reviewed and commented on by the Mayor's Planning Unit. Where boroughs are not a part of a strategic waste authority, apportionment is usually considered in their Core Strategies or supplementary Local Development Plan (LDF) documents. The status of London borough's Waste DPDs and LDF documents is shown in Table 43.

Key Performance Indicator 21: 
Increased regional self-sufficiency for waste Target 
75 per cent (15 million tonnes) of London's waste treated or disposed of within London by 2010 The GLA estimates that this target was met in 2008/09, with 78 per cent of London's waste treated or disposed of within the capital. This position was maintained in 2009/10, at an estimated 79 per cent. This achievement is heavily skewed to the construction, demolition and excavation (CDE) sector, which recycles approximately 82 per cent of its waste, with a further 11 per cent being landfilled within London. The other two primary waste sectors, commercial and industrial (C&I) and municipal waste generated less tonnage in 2009/10 than anticipated, however the amount of waste managed in London remained relatively the same as in the previous year. To help achieve self-sufficiency, increased recycling and waste reduction targets, the Greater London Authority Act 2007 enabled the establishment of the London Waste and Recycling Board. 

The board's objectives are to promote and encourage:  
 

- the production of less waste; - an increase in the proportion of waste reused and recycled; and - the use of methods of collection, treatment and disposal that are more beneficial to the 
environment 
 The Board has an investment fund of up to £84 million over four years. This has been supplemented by a further £18 million in match funding from the European Regional Development fund, through the JESSICA scheme. This money will stimulate further increases in waste management capacity within London. 

Key Performance Indicator 22 
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions  
Target Reduce emissions to: 15% below 1990 levels by 2010 20% below 1990 levels by 2015 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 30% below 1990 levels by 2025 No new data are available since the last AMR was published, with the most recent measurement of London's CO2 emissions being the 2008 London Energy and Greenhouse Gas Inventory (LEGGI). It is anticipated that data on carbon dioxide emissions will in the future be published annually, but two years in arrears given the analysis required. Information for assessing the 2010 benchmark will therefore only be available in 2012. 

 
The LEGGI attributes CO2 emissions to three sectors in London, based on either where the use of fuel occurred or, in the case of electricity, where it was consumed. These sectors are homes, workplaces and transport.

Between 1990 and 2000 London's CO2 emissions increased by 12 per cent, from 45.1 MtCO2 to 50.3 
MtCO2. Most of this growth was in the workplace sector as a result of a decade of steady growth in economic activity. Emissions from the homes sector also increased due to the growing population of London. From 2000 to 2006 the population of London increased by a further ten per cent. However the city's emissions dropped by six per cent to 47.45 MtCO2 per year in 2006. This is due to a number of factors, primarily the lower carbon content of the national electricity supply resulting from lower coal use in the generation mix, and the growing proportion of London's economy accounted for by the service industry, which is less CO2-intensive than manufacturing. In 2008 
emissions were 44.72 MtCO2 in total, which is a 1% reduction relative to 1990 levels. The Mayor has proposed to strengthen the carbon emission reduction targets outlined above to reflect his greater ambition to reduce emissions. The 2025 target has doubled from 30% to a 60% 
reduction, meaning in 2025 London will aim to emit no more than 18.04 MtCO2. The draft London Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy includes policies indicating how London will achieve these emissions reductions targets. Public consultation on the draft document ended on 5th January 
2011. For more information see the Mayor's website. This strategy is also supported by the draft Replacement London Plan which provides strategic planning policies to contribute to the more ambitious targets. 


 
Key Performance Indicator 23 
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 No new data have been collected in the last two years so Table 45 has been retained from AMR 5. 

The GLA has commissioned a new study that will investigate the potential for renewable energy and also provide updated figures on the amount of current generation in London (the 'London Renewable and Decentralised Energy Potential Study'). The study will be published in the spring of 2011 and will include the latest data and projections on renewable energy to feed into the development of the London Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy and implementation of the new London Plan. 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. The most recent figures from 2007 are shown in Table 45 below. These indicate 500 GWh of electricity and 50 GWh of heat generation. Since this indicator was devised, new technologies and opportunities have become available. In this respect it has become clear that energy from renewable sources that were originally intended (such as wind turbines) will not contribute greatly to the target, but preliminary results from the London Renewable and Decentralised Energy Potential Study show that energy harnessed from London's waste, particularly landfill gas, will make a larger than anticipated contribution to London's energy needs.

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

Target No net loss of functional flood plain within referable applications. Government policy on development and flood risk is laid out in Planning Policy Statement 25. The Environment Agency has confirmed that it is not aware of any development that has resulted in a net loss of functional flood plain (as defined by PPS25) over the past year (April 2009 to March 2010). Functional flood plain is defined in PPS25 as Zone 3b. This is 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 Local Planning Authority (LPA) and the Environment Agency. However, as the majority of London is defended, only a very small area of functional flood plain 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 flood plain is unlikely. In the light of these facts, it is proposed to remove this target in the draft replacement London Plan. 

 

 The Greater London Authority completed its Regional Flood Risk Appraisal in October 2009. Annex 
7 provides an overview of progress regarding its recommendations. In addition Table 46 provides an overview of progress regarding Strategic Flood Risk Assessments (SFRAs). All boroughs are required to produce a Level 1 SFRA. Most Level 1 SFRAs are complete or near completion. Broadly, Level 1 and 2 SFRAs can be defined as follows: 
 
A Level 1 SFRA provides information on flood risk, taking climate change into account, that allows the LPA to understand the risk across its area, provides the information needed to apply the sequential approach, informs sustainability appraisals, land allocations, development control policies and emergency planning and identifies the level of detail required for site specific FRAs. A Level 2 SFRA considers the detailed nature of the flood hazard that facilitates application of the Sequential and Exception tests, allows a sequential approach to site allocation to be adopted within a flood zone and allows the policies and practices required to ensure that development in such areas satisfies the requirements of the Exception Test, to be identified for insertion into the Local Development Document.

Protecting and improving London's heritage and public realm Target Reduction in the proportion of buildings at risk as a percentage of the total number of listed buildings in London Although there has been a small increase in the number of buildings at risk in London during 09/10, it is not significant and is not expected to affect the overall downward trend which has been established over the past few years. The 2010 Heritage at Risk Register, and a summary document covering all categories (not just listed buildings) can be found at http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/heritage-at-risk/. A recently released review looking back over 20 years of Heritage at Risk in London can be found at http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/saving-london/. At April 2010, London had 1,002 Conservation Areas. 32 of London's 33 boroughs have taken part in English Heritage's national survey of conservation areas at risk, resulting in 72 being considered as being "at risk" - approximately 7%.

Appendix 6 - 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 2011. 

 
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 £64,0006. This figure has been up-dated from the London Plan 
(2008) figure of £52,500 on the basis of the latest data (as of February 2011) on lower quartile house prices in London, and is an increase from the figure of £57,600 in AMR 6. In his statutory London Housing Strategy and his draft replacement London Plan, the Mayor sets out his intention to raise the intermediate housing income threshold to £74,000 for households with dependents, in order to reflect the higher cost of both developing and buying family-sized homes in London. Intermediate housing can include shared ownership, sub-market rent provision (including the new affordable rent product) 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 £224,000), or (for products where a rent is paid) 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. 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. 

 
Affordable rent Government has recently published for consultation a draft planning definition of its new affordable rent product. It is proposed that affordable rent homes will be let at rents of up to 80% of market rent, and on tenancies of a minimum of two years.

Developments all across London should reduce surface water discharge in line with the Sustainable Drainage Hierarchy set out in Policy 5.13 of the draft replacement 
London Plan

Regeneration and redevelopment of London's fluvial river corridors offer a crucial opportunity to reduce flood 
risk.  SFRAs and policies should focus on making the most of this opportunity through appropriate location, 
layout and design of development as set out in PPS25 and the Thames CFMP.   

Limited progress through DPDs. Increasingly Thames-side developments are incorporating set back, for example Enderby Wharf, Greenwich. The Boroughs of Richmond and Wandsworth have specific planning policies to address this. The Environment Agency (EA) published Thames Catchment Flood Management Plan in Dec 2009 and is awaiting Government approval/funding for the TE2100 project. - The EA was also due to publish the Lower Thames Strategy in 2010 - their Board has signed off the project and it is awaiting Defra sign off in 2011. The Boroughs of Richmond and Wandsworth have specific planning policies to address this. EA is awaiting Government approval/funding for TE2100 project. Need to explore further if combined events are addressed the relevant Boroughs. Progressing well for large scale developments but limited for smaller scale development. Generally being implemented through application of PPS25. Enfield for example have incorporated flood risk into the layout and design of major redevelopment proposals along the River Lee.

Appendix 8 - Housing Provision in London 2009/10: Annual Monitor Introduction This report provides further detail on housing provision in London in addition to the tables in the main body of the Annual Monitoring Report. It is based largely on data provided by London boroughs to the London Development Database (LDD) maintained by the GLA. The LDD was established with government support and is widely regarded as the most authoritative source of information on housing provision in London. The majority of this report deals with housing provision defined for the purpose of monitoring the London Plan: that is, net conventional supply from new build, conversions or changes of use. The Mayor's London Housing Strategy sets out a separate and distinctly defined target for affordable housing delivery, comprising the *gross* number of affordable homes delivered through conventional supply or acquisitions of existing properties. The final section of this report covers affordable housing delivery according to this latter definition. Maps and tables can be found at the end of the report. 

Key points  

- There were 24,290 net conventional housing completions in London in 2009/10, but total 
housing provision was lower at 23,641 due to an increase in the estimated number of longterm empty homes. 
- The net conventional supply of 24,290 in 2009/10 is the lowest since 2003 but still above the 
long-term annual average. 
- New build accounted for 81% of net conventional supply in 2009/10, conversions 8% and 
changes of use 11%. 
- Over the last three years net conventional affordable housing supply amounted to 29,889 
homes, split almost evenly between social rented and intermediate housing. 
- Across all tenures, gross conventional housing was dominated by one or two bedroom homes, 
with only 18% having three bedrooms or more. 
- Just over one third of social housing supply comprises homes with three or more bedrooms, 
compared to 14% of market homes and only 8% of intermediate homes. 
- 27% of net approvals and 32% of net starts in 2009/10 were for affordable housing. - As of 31 March 2010, there were a net 111,990 homes not started and 60,056 under 
construction, for a total pipeline of 172,046 homes. 
 
Total housing provision Total housing provision in the London Plan consists of three elements: conventional housing supply, non self-contained bedspaces, and long-term vacant homes returning to use. Table 19 in the main body of the report shows housing provision at borough and sub-regional level. Table HPM 1 in this appendix replicates these figures but in alphabetical order (see also Map HPM 1 and Map HPM 2). Conventional housing supply typically comprises the majority of total housing provision, but in 2009/10 net conventional completions (24,290) were actually higher than total housing provision 
(23,641), due to a substantial increase (of 2,841) in the estimated number of long-term vacant homes. The chart below shows the separate elements of total housing provision for the last five years. In 2005/06 and 2006/07 vacants returning to use were strongly positive, in the following two years slightly negative, and in 2009/10 strongly negative. 

 
 
Source: GLA The estimates of long-term vacant homes returning to use are derived from the change in the number of private sector homes vacant for six months or more, as reported to government by London boroughs through the Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix form7. These data are typically quite volatile - for example, Haringey reported 1,008 long-term vacant private sector homes in 2007/8, 88 in 2008/9 and 1,286 in 2009/10. It can also be patchy, with some boroughs not reporting figures in every year8. The government also collects estimates of homes in all tenures that have been empty for six months or more through council tax dwellings lists reported by local authorities, and CLG have recently published a table drawing on this data9. Table HPM2 shows estimates of long-term vacant homes and the change between 2009 and 2010 according to HSSA and council tax data. The two sources are not strictly comparable, as HSSA data covers private sector homes only while the council tax data covers all sectors, and because the HSSA data is reported as of April each year while council tax data is reported as of October. But it is still notable that the council tax data is less volatile than the HSSA data, and shows a different overall trend (a decrease in the number of long-term vacant homes between 2009 and 2010 rather than an increase). The GLA are considering adopting the council tax data for future monitoring purposes. Gypsy and traveller sites Since 1st April 2009 the LDD has been recording the loss and gain of gypsy and traveller pitches. 

During 2009/10 two permissions were granted for additional pitches. Three additional pitches were proposed in the reconfiguration of the existing site at Swallow Park, Kingston and two pitches were given permission for a further three years at a site off Church Road in Havering. The latter, being the renewal of a previous temporary permission, is recorded as a completion on LDD, although Havering record no additional pitches in their AMR. A survey of the 27 borough AMR's available online at the end of January 2011 show that there were no additional gypsy and traveller pitches completed during 2009/10 in London. 

 
                                                 

Conventional supply As stated above, conventional housing supply comprises the bulk of total housing provision in London. Estimates of net conventional housing supply in London since 1987 are shown in the chart below10. Data from 1987 to 2003 are from the GLA's Housing Provision Survey, which was based on aggregate estimates provided by boroughs, while 2003/04 onwards is based on site-specific records from the LDD. The net conventional supply of 24,290 in 2009/10 is the lowest since 2003 but still above the long-term annual average. 

 
Source: GLA Net conventional supply takes account of dwellings lost or replaced. In 2009/10 there was a gross conventional supply of 28,733 homes, with 4,443 lost or replaced (see Table HPM 3). Areas where large-scale estate redevelopment is taking place can show high gross but low net supply: for example, Waltham Forest had a gross supply of 498 homes in 2009/10 but 357 of these were simply replacing other homes, for a net supply of 141. The table also compares net conventional supply in each borough with the conventional component of its current London Plan housing provision target. Performance against the target varies from 18% in Barking and Dagenham to 227% in Wandsworth. There are three types of conventional housing supply recorded in the LDD: new build, conversions and changes of use (for example, from industrial or commercial uses). Table HPM 4 shows gross and net conventional supply by type for each borough. Across London, new build accounted for 81% of net conventional supply in 2009/10, conversions 8% and changes of use 11%. The mix varied widely between boroughs, however. Notably, 65% of Greenwich's net conventional supply of 548 came from change of use, while 31% of supply in Enfield was from conversions. Kensington and Chelsea was the only borough with negative supply from conversions, implying that in this extremely highcost area conversions of houses into flats were outnumbered by 'de-conversions' of flats into houses. 

 
Affordable housing supply Table 24 and Figure 3 in the main body of the report show net conventional completions of affordable housing by borough and sub-region. Table HPM 5 breaks affordable housing supply 
 
between 2007/08 and 2009/10 into social rented and intermediate housing11, while Map HPM 3 
shows affordable housing supply in 2007/08 and 2009/10 as a proportion of total net conventional supply. Over the three-year period net conventional affordable housing supply amounted to 29,979 homes, split almost evenly between social rented and intermediate housing. This split varied widely between boroughs, with social housing accounting for only 11% of affordable supply in Wandsworth but 81% 
in Westminster. 

 
Size mix of new supply Table HPM 6 shows the split of total *gross* conventional supply across London as a whole by tenure and number of bedrooms (the figures are presented in gross terms as the number of bedrooms is not always readily available for homes lost or replaced). The profile of new social housing supply is quite different from that of intermediate or market supply: just over one third of social housing supply comprises homes with three or more bedrooms, compared to 14% of market homes and only 8% of intermediate homes. Across all tenures, new supply was dominated by one or two bedroom homes, with only 18% having three bedrooms or more. Table HPM 7 shows the gross conventional supply of affordable housing (i.e. comprising both social rented and intermediate housing) by borough and number of bedrooms. The highest proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms was found in Kingston upon Thames and Kensington and Chelsea, but in both cases was based on very low overall totals. The three boroughs with the largest absolute supply of affordable homes with three bedrooms or more were Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Southwark. 

 
The pipeline of new homes The 'pipeline' of anticipated future housing supply comprises homes which have been granted planning permission but not yet completed, and can be broken down into homes under construction and those for which construction has not yet started. It should be noted here that in the LDD a 
'start' may not be the start of physical construction work on site but simply a legal start (such as demolition of existing homes). 

 
The annual flow of planning approvals for new homes adds to the pipeline. Table 21 in the main report shows the trend in net approvals at London level since 2000/01, while Table HPM 8 breaks down 2009/10 net approvals by tenure and Table HPM 9 by type. At London level 27% of net approvals in 2009/10 were for affordable housing, again split very evenly between intermediate and social housing. It should be noted that the tenure of approved units can change before completion (for example as the result of negotiations between developers and planning authorities), and some approvals may ultimately not be built out. Table HPM 10 shows net conventional housing starts by tenure and Table HPM 11 by type. In 
2009/10, 32% of net starts were affordable housing, compared to 27% of approvals and 37% of completions (Table 24 in the main report). New build comprises the majority of both approvals and starts. 

 
Finally, Table HPM 12 and Map 3 show the planning pipeline as of 31st March 2010, comprising units approved but not started and those under construction. There were a net 111,990 homes not started and 60,056 under construction, for a total pipeline of 172,046. Just three boroughs (Greenwich, Tower Hamlets and Newham) accounted for just over one third of the London total. At the other end of the scale, three boroughs (the City of London, Kingston Upon Thames and Richmond Upon Thames) accounted for a total pipeline of less than 3,000 homes between them.

Affordable housing delivery monitor As explained in the introduction to this Housing Provision Monitor, 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 typically considerably higher in any given year than the net provision of affordable housing in planning terms reported in the main body of the Annual Monitoring Report and the Housing Provision Monitor. This section monitors affordable housing delivery in London against the targets set out in the Mayor's London Housing Strategy: 
Policy 1.1B: The current investment programme will deliver 50,000 affordable homes in London over the four years 2008/09 to 2011/2012. 

Policy 1.2A: Of the 50,000 affordable homes to be delivered, 20,000 will be intermediate homes. Policy 1.3A: Of the 50,000 affordable homes to be delivered, 30,000 will be social rented homes. The data source for monitoring these targets is the set of statistics on 'affordable housing supply' 
published by the Department for Communities and Local Government12. These statistics are compiled from a range of sources, but the vast majority of delivery in recent years has been funded the Homes and Communities Agency. DCLG report data on the basis of where the affordable homes were located and separately according to the 'area providing funding'. In practice this distinction primarily arises when a household from one local authority (the area providing funding) purchases an intermediate affordable home in another. Table AHM 1 below shows affordable housing delivery in London by type in the three years 2007/08 to 
2009/10. Over this period a total of 41,750 homes were delivered, of which 21,300 were social housing and 20,460 were intermediate housing. As DCLG publish their statistics approximately six months after the end of each financial year, performance against the four-year targets in the Mayor's London Housing Strategy will be assessed in late 2012. 

 
Figure AHM 1 shows the trend in total affordable housing delivery in London since 1991/9213. Delivery peaked at just over 17,000 in 1995/96, fell to 8,290 in 1999/2000 and rose again to a recent peak of 15,110 in 2007/08.

Source: CLG Table AHM 2 shows delivery of social and intermediate housing by London borough in 2009/10, broken down first by area providing funding and then by area where homes are located. On both measures the borough with the highest affordable housing delivery was Tower Hamlets, followed by Hackney and Croydon. There was again very wide variation between boroughs in terms of both total delivery and the split between social and intermediate housing.
