'Deeply worrying' levels of London home building

13th October 2017

Just 3,477 new homes are projected to be built this year in London transport zones five and six, according to business group London First, down almost a quarter from last year’s 4,523. The figure is 42% of the London Plan target and 17% of the number needed under a proposed new methodology announced by Communities Secretary Sajid Javid. London First expects 42,543 homes to be built in the more central zones this year, a total that is 80% of the Government’s new estimate of 53,776 that are needed - but more than the 34,194 that the current London Plan says must be built.
