COVID-19, Housing Typologies and Design in London

In Autumn 2020, the Planning and Regeneration Committee conducted an investigation into COVID-19, Housing Typologies and Design in London. A key emphasis was on housing density and the development of tall buildings for residential use in London.

Key areas touched on during the course of the investigation are:

• The costs of tall buildings
• Density
• The impact on families
• Quality of design
• Post-COVID 19

Attached below is the Committee’s consultation response to the Mayor’s Good Quality Homes for All Londoners London Plan Guidance. Also, a letter to councillors across London informing them of key findings made during the investigation.
