2 London is growing by... new residents every hour That s a car load every minutes 2 Buses every day 2 Tube or or trains every week Today the population is 8,600,000 and by 2030, it will be 10,000,000

3 London s growth poses several challengestwo of the most prominent are housing and transport Housing accommodating London s workforce Meeting London s future housing demand 49,000 62,000 identified in GLA s Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) Addressing issues of high housing costs providing more affordable housing costs for London s workforce Transport meeting future demand on London s transport network Increasing network capacity addressing issues of overcrowding Enhanced connectivity between key economic areas reducing cost of travel and increased employment density Improving access to Opportunity Areas unlocking and making most efficient use of development sites

5 London s Housing Challenge Scale of demand does not match supply. Indicative demand of 49,000 63,000dpa identified in GLA SHLAA falls short of 42,000dpa London Plan target. London Plan target supply led constrained by availability of developable land. Notwithstanding this... only 20,400 homes built each year on average in the last 10 years. Delivery rates in London need to at least double if future housing demand is to be met. The lack of supply has a negative impact on housing costs

6 London s Transport Challenge NUMBER OF PASSENGERS ACCESSING ZONE 1 STATIONS (LU) NUMBER OF PASSENGERS EXITING ZONE 1 STATIONS (LU) >80, , , , <20, Key Travel peaks are increasing There are clear peak times of travel in the morning and evening rush hours, where the numbers of people entering the London Underground network exceeds 80,000 people per 15 minute period. Since 2004 the number of people travelling to work in central London has increased by nearly a third. More tourists are coming to the city. Between 2004 and 2014 the number of overseas visitors on holiday increased by 52%. Increasingly, people are using the tube at off peak hours and demand is spreading throughout the day as a result.

11 The potential impacts of Crossrail 2 on housing supply Do-Minimum Growth as a result of Crossrail 2 Potential to support up to 200,000 homes across Crossrail 2 Corridor. Housing potential is significant along the length of the route. It is highest in north east London there are also opportunities to support growth in wider south east Further potential exists as a result of proactive policy response to Crossrail 2 i.e. new approach to London Plan housing density matrix; allowance for some industrial land and limited Metropolitan Open Space release Crossrail 2 will also allow development already planned to be delivered sooner particularly in key Opportunity Areas. Work underway with Local Planning Authorities with regards to planning communities around Crossrail 2 stations
