Spotlight: North East London: opportunities for development

North East London is one of the most affordable parts of the capital. With ongoing infrastructure improvements and a significant amount of industrial land, it has the potential to deliver thousands of new homes

Newham, Waltham Forest, Barking and Dagenham, Havering, and Redbridge are experiencing growing demand from buyers moving out of more central, expensive locations.

While the delivery of new homes has increased recently across the five boroughs, more affordably priced homes are still needed. Current delivery would need to increase by 148% to meet need.

Infrastructure improvements across the region, such as the Elizabeth line, are an important link to successful residential development, particularly for densification around stations.

More efficient use of Green Belt land, as well as industrial land, would make sure new homes are being built in the right locations to maximise demand.

Alternative tenures and co-location with commercial space could satisfy property requirements to meet competing demand across a number of sectors.
