Mayor of London Boris Johnson has announced that the city has reached its key target to find land to build 50,000 homes in new housing zones. With 18 of the 20 housing zones announced, the total number of homes earmarked to be built has reached 50,965, of which nearly a third will be affordable to buy or rent. Two further zones will be announced later this summer. The housing zones are a collaborative effort between the Greater London Authority, the government and local boroughs to streamline approval processes and speed up development in target areas where it has previously been held back, unlocking valuable brownf ield land to meet London's growing need for housing.
