The draft London Plan proposes that 50% of all new homes be affordable. With competition for homes, industrial and other uses, some housing will be built in what is now Green Belt land.

This is an important subject covering proposals for housing development in London for the next 20 years.

We invited the London Plan team to talk about:

• The amount of housing required to meet London needs and the tenure and size mix required;
• Where and how the new housing will be accommodated by location and the types of places that would be created; and
• The types of housing in terms of density and building types – low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise.

This covered a number of London Plan policies, the speakers painting a picture of the direction of travel, followed by a Q & A session, plus discussion.

The draft London Plan is available.
