particularly vulnerable to flooding, subsidence, overheating
and to water supply shortfalls.
• Therefore to tackling climate change, the Mayor have
required developments to make the fullest contribution to
the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change and to
minimize emissions of carbon dioxide.
• The following hierarchy will be used to assess applications:
• Using less energy, in particular by adopting sustainable design and
construction measures
• Supplying energy efficiently in particular by prioritizing
decentralized energy generation
• Using renewable energy

6. Land use

7. • The city of London is the heart of the world leading
financial, business and maritime centre with a range of

an enormous number of individual species, each one
superbly adapted for its own environmental needs.

12. • The Mayor's Biodiversity Strategy is the first regional
biodiversity strategy with a statutory basis.
• The document details the Mayor's vision for protecting and
conserving London's natural open spaces.
• It seeks to ensure that there is no overall loss of wildlife
habitats in London, and that more open spaces are created
and made accessible, so that all Londoners are within

16. BEDDINGTON ZERO ENERGY
DEVELOPMENT(BEDZED)

17. • An environmentally friendly housing development in
Hackbridge, London, England.
• It was designed by the architect Bill Dunster to
support a more sustainable lifestyle.
• Zero energy-use only energy from renewable sources
generated on site(777 square metres of solar panels)
• Water efficient-most rain water falling on the site is
collected and reused
• Waste recycling-refuse:collection facilities are
designed to support recycling

18. ADVANTAGES
• Space-heating requirements were 88% less
• Hot water consumption was 57% less
• Mains-water consumption has been reduced by 50 %
or 67% compares to a power shower household
• The residents’ car mileage is 65% less

19. WATER QUALITY

20. • The City of London receives its treated

distribution system is always of high quality.

22. WASTE STRATEGIES

23. The Mayor’s key targets are:
Achieve zero municipal waste

waste produced from 970kg to
790kg per household in 2031.
Increase London’s capacity to
reuse or repair from 6,000 tonnes-
a-year to 30,000 by 2031.
Recycle or compost at least 60%
by 2031.
Cut greenhouse emissions by one
million tonnes by 2031.
Generate as much energy as
possible from organic and non-
recyclable waste.

24. LONG TERM
INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT PLAN FOR
LONDON

25. • London’s infrastructure is already under pressure, and
London’s population continues to grow.
• Current projections suggest London’s population will hit 10
million by the early 2030s.
• Climate change presents further long term challenges.
• To ensure London has the infrastructure needed to remain
one of the best cities in the world to live, work and do
business in.
• The aim in developing a long term infrastructure
investment plan is:
to help the city prepare better for this growth over the very
long term, while working out how we can overcome current
problems and bring fresh thinking into delivering the
infrastructure the city needs.

26. • The scope covers public
transport, roads, energy, water,
sewerage, waste and green
infrastructure.
• Critical social infrastructure is
also included – in particular the
overall amount and approximate
distribution of housing
(including affordable housing)
and school places.
