Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 16 December 2021.
Can you provide data for how many extra affordable homes have been built as a result of Mayoral Call Ins since 2016?
The housing schemes that I have called in make a significant contribution to affordable housing. Overall, the applications I have called in and approved since 2016 will deliver 5,448 genuinely affordable homes for Londoners, with an uplift within this of 1,121 additional affordable homes compared to the number proposed when those cases were called in. It inevitably takes time to build out new developments, but a number of these schemes are currently under construction and due for completion shortly.
