Support the rejuvenation of town centres in West London as centres for employment, shopping and living. Establish a competitive economy underpinned by sustained and sustainable growth and value-added output principally through ensuring high and effective levels of appropriate support for both indigenous and foreign-owned investors.

Support London’s continuing renewal as a vibrant and inclusive city, acknowledging the diversity of London’s people as an asset.

Focus on developing an appropriate mix of housing in terms of type, size reception and move-on property and ensure higher density build where appropriate, particularly where there is good access to public transport.
