Room for 1.4m more homes in London

18th September 2015

A study by London First and Savills has indicated that due to low housing density in central London compared to other European cities, some 1.4m more homes could be built in the capital. Baroness Jo Valentine, chief executive of London First, said: "The business community believes housing costs are a major threat to the capital's international competitiveness. We need London's planning policies to give strategic support to building at a higher density, while being clear that the density of a particular development must be appropriate for its location."
