Wandsworth Council is pressing for higher affordable housing in the Battersea Power Station development, which has seen concessions reducing affordable units from a required 636 to 386.
Councillor Aydin Dikerdem emphasized the council's commitment to maximizing affordable housing, stating that the percentage seen so far is acceptably low and must be raised.
Sadiq Khan typically mandates a minimum of 35 percent affordable housing in London developments, highlighting the contrast in expectations for the Battersea site.
The ongoing debates are part of a larger political climate shift, as Labour's recent election win in Wandsworth has changed the council's focus on addressing homelessness.
