The City Corporation formally approved the local plan for the Square Mile, known as ‘City Plan 2040’. The decision means that the finalised plan will now be published for public consultation, before submission and examination by an independent planning inspector later this year.
City Plan 2040 will set the planning and development policies and strategic priorities that will guide the growth of the Square Mile up to 2040.
The plan will:
- Power a growing, vibrant and competitive economy, with over 1.2m sqm of additional office floorspace delivered by 2040;
- Transform the Square Mile into a 7-day-a-week cultural and leisure destination for everyone;
- Ensure the City is a highly sustainable place to do business, with a net zero Square Mile by 2040;
- Create an inclusive, accessible and healthy Square Mile where everyone feels welcome; and
- Celebrate local heritage while re-shaping those parts of the City that have the most potential for growth and regeneration.
We invite you to join us for this consultation focusing on economic growth and come together to unite on the next steps, that will secure the future of the Square Mile.
