Supplementary Planning Guidance

The London Plan provides the framework for the Mayor to produce more detailed strategic guidance on issues which cannot be addressed in sufficient detail in the plan. To provide detailed advice on its policies, Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) and Best Practice Guidance (BPG) documents are being produced. They are initially published in draft for consultation.
