Mayor Sadiq Khan has proposed a significant policy change to address London's housing crisis by considering the development of homes on parts of the green belt. He believes that the current green belt restrictions are outdated and need to be reassessed due to London's pressing housing requirements, estimated at 88,000 new homes annually. Khan's new approach seeks to balance housing needs with conservation by ensuring that any development includes affordable housing and preserves public access to green spaces.
"We need to unlock hundreds of thousands of good quality new homes for Londoners... We'll ensure we increase both affordable housing and public access to green spaces."
