The Further Alterations to the 2011 London Plan (FALP) were formally adopted on 10 March 2015. Although a majority of the key changes focus on meeting London's housing needs, there are some important amendments to economic related policies.

The FALP does not set a target for employment growth but predicts that the number of jobs across London could increase from 4.9m in 2011 to 5.8m in 2036, representing a growth of 17.6%. The overall level of growth masks significant differences between certain sectors, with 49% net growth in jobs predicted to be delivered across professional, real estate, scientific and technical activities, whilst employment in manufacturing is expected to decline from 129,000 jobs in 2011 to 34,000 in 2036.
