Regional Planning Guidance for London makes clear that there are large areas of the Thames Gateway that require a major and sustained process of regeneration. The Greenwich Peninsula represents one of the largest and most prominent regeneration opportunities in this region and Greater London. The Mayor's Draft London Plan and the Greenwich Peninsula Development Framework also recognise the Peninsula as an opportunity for the delivery of new business activities and the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) of the London Borough of Greenwich (LBG) has designated the Peninsula as a mixed-use site.
