A Times Business report claims this is now an exalted status for an area.
Really?

'TfL is planning to site two new Northern Line stations in zone one of the
London transport network. TfL had previously planned to designate the new
stations as zone two, but after representations from developers, an
independent inspector gave a different recommendation.

The decision is likely to further boost the fortunes of the Nine Elms
Opportunity Area, which encompasses an area stretching from Vauxhall to
Battersea Power Station. Ravi Govindia, the leader of Wandsworth Council,
said: "Zone one status will draw more commercial occupiers to Battersea
and
help us create 25,000 new jobs in this underused part of the riverside."'


The paper emerged via twitter this evening as part of the TfL
submission to the planning enquiry.

I haven't read it

But I find it somewhat hard to understand how deciding what fares should be
charged by a transport operator is within the remit of a planning inspector
