Upper Lee Valley

The Upper Lee Valley contains some of London's 20% most-deprived wards, extending through Leyton, Tottenham and Edmonton. At the same time it contains London's second largest industrial site and the environmental benefits of the Lee Valley Regional Park.

An Economic Vision for the Upper Lee Valley

The NLSA has launched a long term strategic vision for the future of the Upper Lee Valley: An Economic Vision for the Upper Lee Valley, at an event where Sir Simon Milton, the Deputy Mayor of London and Chief of Staff, gave a presentation on the draft Mayoral strategies and the ULV opportunity area.

Key objectives identified in the full report include attracting a university to the area, growing green industries of the future, enhancing the links to Stansted and ensuring the residents of the area have the skills and support to access these emerging jobs.

Upper Lee Valley Vision

The Upper Lee Valley has the potential to be an important area for growth - and is highlighted in the London Plan as a major opportunity area. The NLSA, working with the boroughs, the LDA, GLA and GoL have developed a new shared vision for the Upper Lee.

The vision aims to transform the Upper Lee Valley through public and private investment in North London's Waterside - a comprehensive range of complimentary new developments making maximum use of the area's natural assets - the waterway, parkland, and its close proximity to central London.
