Room for 570,000 London homes

31st October 2014

A study by Stirling Ackroyd suggests that London could find room for up to 570,000 new homes over the next decade. The reports says that redeveloping 1.3% of the capital's land area would make space for the extra homes, while preserving all green space. Stirling Ackroyd MD Andrew Bridges said: "Even a cautious projection puts the capital’s population at 9m before 2020, and half a decade before that landmark the city already needs more homes." It studied the available land in all 625 London wards and identified those with the best homebuilding potential.
