In summary, it endorsed the Council’s ambitious growth strategy of 35,000 new homes and a minimum of 10,000 new jobs by 2035, but that no one should be left behind in its pursuit. This is the basis for the spatial vision for the borough for the next fifteen years in its Issues and Options Local Plan 2, and which is reinforced by the London Riverside Opportunity Area Planning Framework 3. The key to ensuring no one is left behind is a coherent economic development, employment land and skills strategy.
