Local Implementation Plan
What is a Local Implementation Plan?
A Local Implementation Plan (LIP) is a statutory document, prepared under Section 145 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 and sets out how the Council proposes to implement the Mayors Transport Strategy at a local level; all London Borough’s are required to develop, adopt, and implement a LIP. The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (RBK) adopted our first LIP in March 2006.
In May 2010 the Mayor of London adopted a new Mayor’s Transport Strategy for London, this placed a statutory requirement on every London Borough to prepare a new LIP setting out how they would achieve the proposals set out in the new Mayor’s Transport Strategy. This updated LIP is known as the Second Local Implementation Plan, or LIP2.
As well as implementing the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, LIP2 is required to be consistent with the South London Sub-regional Transport Plan, and to reflect RBK’s local priorities and objectives. LIP2 achieves this and complements both the Local Development Framework (LDF) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy (Kingston Plan). LIP2 has also been developed as the transport strategy for the borough.
RBK’s LIP2 was approved by the Mayor of London in October 2011 and adopted by the Council in December 2011.
