Assembly calls for family homes in the capital

The London Assembly has unanimously agreed a motion calling for an increase in the supply of family homes and improvements to the quality of family housing. The Assembly agreed a target in the Mayor’s housing strategy of 42 per cent of new social rented housing should have three or more bedrooms, but it has also urged the mayor to do more to meet demand. It warned that provision in the intermediate housing sector is falling significantly below the mayor’s target of 16 per cent.
