It is unclear from the local plan and supporting documentation how the Council has engaged with the Mayor of London and the London boroughs on the matter of migration. The inspector for the London Plan, in his report (dated 18 November 2014), does refer to this effect. He notes that the Mayor's SHMA "includes assumptions relating to migration...likely to be material to the preparation of local plans outside London."
Paragraph 2.10 of the OAN report does acknowledge the potential problem of London but states that it is unable to assess the implications of the Mayor's new plan until this adopted. The report therefore implies that the OAN figure of 360 dpa is very much a provisional one.
