The Mayor may alter the boundaries of a Mayoral development area so as to exclude any area of land.
Before making an alteration, the Mayor must consult—
the London Assembly, and
any other person whom the Mayor considers it appropriate to consult.
If the Mayor makes an alteration, the Mayor must—
publicise the alteration,
notify the Secretary of State of the alteration, and
notify the MDC for the area (if an MDC has been established for that area).
If the Secretary of State receives notification under subsection (3) of an alteration, the Secretary of State must give effect to the alteration—
when making the order under section 198(2) that establishes an MDC for the Mayoral development area concerned, or
by exercising the power to amend that order (see section 14 of the Interpretation Act 1978).
