• World-class,sustainable design is central to the successful future of London and must remain at the heart of the London Plan
• Guidance should be produced to identify best practice in high density,mixed use,sustainable design
• The involvement of artists and the integration of artworks should be required for all major schemes
• New development should promote balanced neighbourhoods with mixed uses and tenures,integrated with surrounding areas and communities
• A public realm strategy must be produced to underpin proposals to improve the look and feel of London ’s buildings,streets and spaces
• The 100 Spaces for London programme should be supported to promote best practice in improvements to the public realm
• Urban design statements should be a requirement of any planning application that affects the public realm
• Community involvement,competitions and a design led approach should be a requirement for all schemes affecting the public realm
• Major investment in transport infrastructure and essential services is a vital pre-requisite to delivering the vision of the London Plan
• “Brownfields first ” is the right approach to new development and a green-field development tax would be one way of encouraging this
