Transport Secretary Louise Haigh's decision to lift the ban on developing housing at Cockfosters station marks a significant shift in land use strategy for Tube station car parks.
This decision could set a precedent in the ongoing debate over the use of Tube station car parks for housing versus maintaining them for park-and-ride options for suburban motorists.
The development comprises four tower blocks, each up to 14 storeys, which has raised concerns regarding its potential impact on local neighborhoods and the environment.
Mr. Khan praised the approval, emphasizing that building homes near public transport is crucial for meeting the housing demands of Londoners.
