The Mayor of London is poised to receive enhanced powers to facilitate housing development on Transport for London (TfL) owned land. A clause in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill would allow the Mayor to make decisions regarding TfL land, eliminating the need for Transport Secretary approval in most instances. This new authority applies to land fully within Greater London and not classified as Crown land. Previously, these decisions required permission, which was often granted without objection, but the clause aims to streamline the process for housing developments.
The Mayor of London is set to gain new powers to allow more housing to be built on land owned by Transport for London (TfL), due to a clause in a parliamentary bill.
Clause 26 of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill will enable the Mayor of London to have authority over TfL land disposals in most situations.
This clause would mean decisions on TfL operational land will no longer require Transport Secretary approval in many cases, facilitating housing developments.
The provision primarily affects land within Greater London, allowing for streamlined processes for housing projects on TfL-owned sites.
