London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has set a new London-wide house building target and called for home builders to develop sites at higher housing densities.
Khan’s new target of 650,000 new houses by 2029 is more than double the current delivery rate. He also wants to see more than 250,000 new homes built in London’s 13 outer suburbs as part of this development plan. He believes that more homes should be built on sites near town centres or good public transport, reducing the need for car parking spaces within developments.
The previous Mayor set planning rules in that there were a maximum of houses on developments. Khan has thrown out these existing rules in favour of boosting the number of well designed homes sites can deliver.
