On this basis, the central projection in the SHMA indicates that London will require between approximately 49,000 (2015-2036) and 62,000 (2015-2026) more homes a year. This range incorporates different levels of population change over the period, the time taken to address current need (backlog) and the anticipated under delivery between 2011 and 2015. The 2015-2036 figure of 49,000 additional homes a year provides the basis for the detailed housing need figures set out in this Plan. In light of the projected higher need, especially at the start of the plan period, this figure should be regarded as a minimum.

Mayor’s Plan 2014: Key Diagram
Headlines: London 2020
• Zone 1: All the Advanced Service Jobs (Mega-
Agglomeration Economies – but Big Capital
pushes out Creative Startups?)
• Zone 2: Über-Middles (and displaced startups?)
• Zone 3: Displaced Cling-Ons (Chattering Classes)
– especially Zone 3 East (Victoria Line,
Overground) - Critical role of Opportunity Areas,
especially Stratford/Royals
• Zones 4/5: The big dilemma
• Thames Gateway: unique: major opportunity sites
close to London (elsewhere: NIMBY frontier)
Big Question: Where will the People Go?
• They can’t fit in London
• The figures don’t add up!
• They can’t go next to London:
• The “sacred” Abercrombie plan
• Plus: Massive NIMBYism
• Must go much further out
• Beyond the NIMBY frontier
• So: 50-80-mile ring
• Except: Thames Gateway:
growth welcome here!
1998 / 2014: “Sociable Cities”
• At edge of Greater
South East
• 50-80 miles (80-
130 km.) from
London
• On high-speed rail
lines – fast travel
to London for
those who need
• Clusters of Garden
Cities – Howard’s

Mayor’s Estuary Airport (Isle of Grain)
• Agricultural/reclaimed land
• Compatible with Thames Gateway strategy
• Noise: Impact less than 5% Heathrow equivalent
• Connections: New HSL (just over 30 mins); Crossrail extension; HS1
• Faster than LHR from many Central London locations
• Need to widen M25 – but compatible with current options
• Can be connected to HS2
• Some biodiversity and habitats impacts – but precedents for habitat migration
21st-Century Garden City:
Shelter’s Wolfson Prize Vision
21st-Century Garden City: Mayor’s Vision
• “Heathrow City”: New
residential quarter,
round transport hub
• Terminal buildings for
retail, town and
convention centre
• Focus on education
and commercial
research
• 80k homes, 90k jobs
• Value: £7.5bn a year
So: Today’s Key Question!
• 2030: Short-
Term Airport
Fix for
London?
• 2050:
Strategic
Vision for
the Greater
South East?
