Housing

3A.1 Increasing London's supply of housing

The minimum target for housing provision is 30,500 additional homes per year. Borough targets are set out in Table 3A.1. These targets will be the basis of monitoring up to 2016/7. These figures will be reviewed by 2011 at the latest. The review will examine housing needs and requirements alongside housing capacity. These figures will be reviewed periodically thereafter.

The Mayor will issue guidance, which the boroughs should follow, as to how indicative figures for housing provision in the period from 2016 to 2026 should be derived, for the purpose of LDDs, during the interim period until figures in the Plan are reviewed.

The Mayor will, and boroughs should, promote policies that seek to achieve and exceed this target.
