Despite plans for 845 homes on the site, none will be affordable. Instead Newham Council will be in line for a payment, of up to £60 million, approximately equivalent to up to 35% affordable housing off-site, or the on-site equivalent. What requirement, if any, is there for this payment to be spent on delivering affordable housing elsewhere?

I understand the GLA is working with the developer to explore options to increase the level of affordable housing on the site. Can you provide more details on what options you are exploring and whether it will change the number of homes due to be delivered on the site?

Affordable housing is set at a minimum level of 20%, but there is a review mechanism which could see it rise to 35% if certain value thresholds are met. Can you outline what those value thresholds are; how close to reaching them the developer is; and consequently, what is the current level of affordable housing that is required on the site? Please provide a breakdown on the number of homes and their bed size and tenure type.

In MQ 2018/3219 you said, “What businesses in London need is a fundamental review of the business rates system – similar to the Barclay review north of the border – not more short-term fixes alongside devolution of the tax to London government so that we can design a property tax that reflects the capital’s unique circumstances and higher rents.” What changes, if any, would you like to see to the business rates system in London?
