Plans for 400,000 more London homes

20th March 2015

George Osborne has outlined plans to help meet a target of 400,000 new homes in London by 2025. A series of measures, including cutting red tape on planning decisions, identifying underused land in London and £100m of funding for the capital, have been set out in an attempt to ease the chronic shortage of homes. Around £1m in funding will be provided to set up a London Land Commission, to create a database of land that could be used for development, with £97m to be provided to support the regeneration of Brent Cross.
