Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the Greater London Authority on the level of housing targets in the next edition of the London Plan.

The government meets with the Greater London Authority on a regular basis to discuss matters related to housing.

The current London Plan is not based on the standard method for assessing housing need as it was prepared before the standard method was introduced. The next London Plan will need to take account of the standard method and mandatory housing targets, as set out in the revised NPPF published on 12 December 2024.

The Mayor of London has commenced work on the next London Plan which will be submitted to the Secretary of State in due course.
