Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of his decision to grant planning permission for the Westferry Printworks site (PA/18/01877/A1) on local targets on (a) overcrowded and homeless households, (b) local housing waiting lists, and (c) local housing density.
The Secretary of State’s full analysis of the considerations in this case are set out in his Decision Letter of 14 January and accompanying Inspector’s Report.
The proposed development would have provided nearly 300 new affordable homes and a brand new school for the local community.
