Article summary

The Mayor of London has announced that City Hall will actively explore releasing parts of London’s green belt for housing development. Any release will be subject to conditions set by City Hall, aimed at supporting and maximising the delivery of affordable, high-quality, energy-efficient homes, while also increasing biodiversity and improving public access to quality green spaces. The announcement coincides with the launch of the ‘Towards a new London Plan’ consultation, which closes on 22 June 2025. The consultation outlines a long-term strategy for London’s development over the next 20 to 25 years, focusing on improving the quality and quantity of housing delivery and supporting infrastructure, while ensuring that development and economic growth across the city remain inclusive and sustainable. The draft London Plan is scheduled for publication in 2026, with formal adoption expected in 2028.
