Supplementary planning guidance for London SPG
The London Plan is a statutory strategy required by the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It is prepared by the Mayor of London and provides a spatial development strategy setting out an economic, environmental, transport and social framework for the development of London.
The Mayor also publishes Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) for London which provides additional details on policies set out in the London Plan. A range of Best Practice Guidance (BPG’s) are also published.
Supplementary Planning Guidance is provided where the level of guidance required is too detailed for inclusion in the development plan, or if a rapid policy response is needed to an emerging issue. It provides support for statutory development plans, but carries less weight than them when planning matters are considered and cannot create new policies.
Supplementary Planning Guidance includes:
- Accessible London: Achieving an Inclusive Environment.
- Affordable housing and viability SPG.
- The control of dust and emissions during construction and demolition.
- Town Centres.
- Shaping Neighbourhoods: Character and Context.
- Social infrastructure supplementary planning guidance.

- Safeguarded Wharves Review.
- Preparing Borough Tree and Woodland Strategies.
- Housing.
