""We need a Conservative to rewrite the London Plan, focus on delivery and unlock the tens of thousands of desperately needed homes in that city, and to unlock them near transport links, near to the night time economy, near to job opportunities, by prioritising brownfield sites and turning them into business hubs and housing hubs, just like we did before in Canary Wharf and just like we did before in the Olympic Park.""
""Now, to get this done, we need to take on the mountains of well-intended regulation, and we have got to cut it down to size.""
""The mayor continues to take a brownfield first approach while exploring further measures to boost delivery in the new London Plan. "The truth is that building on brownfield alone is not enough to meet the scale of London's housing need, which is why the mayor is taking the tough decision to actively explore the relea"
Sir James Cleverly pledged to rewrite the London Plan if a Conservative mayor is elected in 2028, aiming to unlock tens of thousands of new homes. The plan would prioritise brownfield sites near transport links, night-time economy locations and job opportunities, and convert them into business and housing hubs, citing Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park as models. He urged cutting extensive regulation to speed delivery. A mayoral spokesperson said the vast majority of London development already occurs on brownfield land and that a brownfield-first approach will continue while exploring further measures to boost delivery in the new London Plan. The London Plan review under the last government was withdrawn by former housing secretary Angela Rayner in favour of a partnership approach with the current mayor.
