The New London Plan: Shaping Housing for the Future

On 13th May, the London Forum and the London Society held a joint collaborative event at UCL, that brought together leading voices in planning and development in the run up to the new London Plan due in 2026/7, focusing on the city’s most pressing issues: housing, transport, green space and sustainable growth.

The event was chaired by our President, Ben Derbyshire, with introductions by Michael Jubb, chair of the London Forum; Leanne Tritton, chair of TLS; and Jess Ferm, director of education at UCL/Bartlett.  Keynote speakers were Jules Pipe CBE, Deputy Mayor of London responsible for planning, and Lisa Fairmaner, head of the London Plan team.  Other speakers included Mike Kiely, Chair of the Planning Officers’ Society, and Dr. Riette Oosthuizen of HTA Design. 

The presentations were followed by Q&A. A detailed review has kindly been provided by the London Society, and a public consultation on ‘Towards the new London Plan’ runs until June 22 2025.  The pdf slide pack is attached below.
