Ten BLGs in the draft London Plan

Draft London Plan - 2026 [GLA]

Published On: 17th August 2026

The draft London Plan was published with supporting evidence.

Comments on its content by LF members are requested by 8th September 2026 to planning@londonforum.org.uk

The plan identifies ten Broad Locations for Growth (BLG). A useful map and density information for them are in an article by Russell Curtis. He has looked at the locations identified for intensification, to try and understand where the new homes identified within the borough targets might be located

Your comments on any of those BLGs are welcome also.
