London Property Alliance calls on London's next mayor to ease planning constraints

The London Property Alliance (LPA) has called on the next mayor of London to ease planning constraints to realise central London’s potential for growth. It wants the winner of next month's mayoral election to adopt a "balanced" approach to planning across the Central Activities Zone, which includes most of Westminster and the City of London, along with Canary Wharf and its neighbouring districts. “There is a huge opportunity to unleash growth in central London by adopting a more flexible and balanced approach to planning", said LPA chief executive Charles Begley. "This would accelerate the delivery of the modern, sustainable office and research space demanded by leading businesses and their employees – as well as unlocking billions of pounds in developer contributions to help address the generational challenges we face around affordable housing and sustainability".
