Gove criticises Khan for low housing delivery
The DLUHC SoS, Michael Gove MP, has written to the London Mayor with criticisms of failure to build sufficient new homes on brownfield, industrial and Opportunity Area land.
Sadiq Khan is ordered to review London Plan policies and to provide early findings by the end of June and full proposals by the end of September 2024.
Gove’s letter also mentions a new ‘Super Squad’ of expert planners to work with the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the London Borough of Newham to accelerate developments.
