Affordable housing 35% reduced

The Government and the Mayor aim to boost affordable housing supply by cutting the  affordable housing target from 35% to 20%.

Building Design published comments on the policy. and Simon Ricketts anticipates its consultation.

Developers offering 20% affordable housing could see a temporary relief from community infrastructure levy.

The Mayor could be handed powers to ‘call in’ applications for his own determination and the GLA will consult on removing guidance that can constrain density, including dual aspect standards and cycle storage requirements.
