FALP Inspector Anthony Thickett has recommended that the draft changes to the London Plan be adopted, subject to a commitment to an “immediate full review” of the plan by the Greater London Authority (GLA). This recommendation is underpinned by the Inspector’s concerns that the FALP strategy can only provide a short term solution to London’s housing shortage and as such, will not “provide for objectively assessed need.” Pertinently, the Inspector calls for wider engagement with local planning authorities beyond the GLA’s boundaries, in accommodating the Capital’s growth.
