We are asking Londoners to challenge politicians, the media + other commentators. This is not about 'build baby build'. It's about making housing affordable again. That cannot be done simply by building houses. See our Letter to London (6/6)

As the London Plan consultation is published, we write A Letter to London
It’s not a housebuilding crisis — it’s an affordability emergency. As the Mayor publishes the May 2025 London Plan consultation, we publish A Letter to London.

This approach is a lose-lose-lose scenario. We lose our countryside. We fail to solve the housing crisis. We ignore opportunities for inner city regeneration. Join our free webinar on 13th November to find out out more (5/6)

There is huge amounts of #brownfield land in #Enfield lying idle, such as the Meridian Water development. London boroughs have already granted planning permission for almost 300,000 homes in London that are yet to be built. In Enfield that number is around 8,000-10,000... (3/6)

Building more homes, especially high-cost ones on #GreenBelt land, won’t solve the affordable housing crisis. Please help us challenge the ‘housebuilding’ narrative by sharing the facts. See our letter to London below. (2/2)
