Petition updateStop over-development ruining KingstonTime to save Kingston and London from the "London" Plan

Dear everyone

I hope that you are all keeping well.

Please read about the challenge I hope to bring against the London Plan, which is already leading developers to apply for permission for high-rise, dense and out-of-character developments, with little or no extra green space, across Kingston and throughout London.

I have already received advice from Marc Willers QC that there are grounds for challenging the London Plan on its heritage policies.

In addition, I have been investigating a possible case based on flawed processes for public consultation; conclusions that development will not harm Richmond Park and other protected habitats that can be undermined by expert opinion and scientific evidence; the Mayor's plans for Kingston, especially in relation to the designation of the Borough as an "opportunity area"; and the plan's open spaces policies.

I am seeking advice to confirm that there are legal grounds for each area I have identified.

The London Plan is due to be published very shortly and we will then have only six weeks to mount a possible legal challenge.

Please support me in any way you can. The more people who know about the London Plan, and the need to stop it if it is legally flawed, the better.

Kind regards

Caroline
