The Mayor of London has published a revised draft London Plan intended to accelerate housing delivery and increase the supply of affordable homes across the capital.

Planning Partner Nicholle Kingsley has shared her analysis with Housing Digital, Inside Housing and Planning Resource, examining whether the proposed changes mark a meaningful departure from the current planning framework.

Nicholle describes the revised approach to affordable housing targets as considered and practical. However, she notes that translating the Mayor’s ambitions into completed homes will require policies that reflect market conditions, address viability constraints and give developers and local authorities sufficient clarity and flexibility.
