A round-up of planning news: Tuesday 12 September, 2017

An initial £250 million has been earmarked by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan to buy and prepare land for new and affordable homes in his draft Housing Strategy.

Research by the Housing & Finance Institute has suggested a fall in the number of homes being built in London, but more being built in the Home Counties.

The Mayor of London is best placed to break down the barriers that prevent wider adoption of offsite manufacturing (OSM) for housing and should set up a London-specific OSM-led procurement framework, says a report.
