Up To 50,000 London Homes to Be Built In Brownfield Scheme

Up to 50,000 new London homes are to be built on 20 brownfield sites, in a £400m scheme announced by the Treasury.  The homes will be built on "housing zones", where planning restrictions are removed to get homes built quickly. The new zones are in line with a shake-up of planning rules to support house building announced by the chancellor at London's Mansion House recently. Labour said it is "too little too late" as Mayor Boris Johnson has built only a third of 63,000 homes needed annually. Read more on the BBC.
