A plan for the area was adopted by Council Assembly in 2012, but since that time, opportunities to reshape Canada Water have grown following changes at Harmsworth Quays.
The Daily Mail's decision to move their printworks away from the area, and to assign their lease to British Land for development, mean that the plan can now influence and shape a much wider area than previously expected.

Cllr Fiona Colley, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: "There have been some big changes in Canada Water recently, and those changes bring big opportunities to bring new life and growth to the area. For such a central and accessible area, it's hard to believe that Canada Water has no real high street.
"We want to use the opportunity at Harmsworth Quays to bring new shops, restaurants, jobs and open spaces as well as homes to the area, and we'd really like to see Kings College build a new campus here, with education and leisure facilities to benefit local people."
She added: "Everyone can comment on the area action plan and I'd really like to hear people's views on the new document, which we hope will help to shape Canada Water into a thriving area with a vibrant centre and more local opportunities."
In addition to the changes relating to Harmsworth Quays, the revised area action plan also makes provision for some taller buildings in some areas, to keep more open space free of development elsewhere.
