The London Development Panel enables public land owners, including London’s boroughs and government bodies, to award individual contracts to developers. It also offers the potential for developers to build now and pay later for land on some schemes procured through the panel.
Using this route to development, the panel is expected to procure up to £5bn of housing-led mixed-use development on public land over its four-year term – starting this month.
The panel will be managed by the Greater London Authority. Transport for London will act as its procurement agent.
The GLA has become one of the largest owners of public land in London following the transfer of assets under the Localism Act 2011.
Johnson said: “The demand for housing in the capital is reaching unprecedented levels, making the potential for development on public land far too important to ignore. The London Development Panel will act as a one-stop shop for public land owners in the capital, making it quicker, easier and cheaper for them to bring their land forward for development, increasing the number of homes being built, creating jobs and boosting the capital’s economy.”
