Members of the London Assembly Planning and Housing Committee will tomorrow (Tuesday 22nd June) question Mayoral advisor Richard Blakeway as part of an investigation into the future of affordable homes in the capital and the Mayor’s policies to meet London’s needs.
Also appearing before AMs will be David Lunts, London Region Director, Homes and Communities Agency and Geoff Raw, Director Design Strategy and Planning, London Development Agency.
Committee Chair Nicky Gavron says: “As Chair of the HCA’s London Board, the Mayor is at the heart of affordable housing delivery in the capital and must use his powers and every tool at his disposal to provide more homes. We intend to explore the options and point him in the right direction.”
