Councillor Helen Dennis expressed strong disappointment over the reduced number of affordable homes, emphasizing a pressing need for them in Peckham due to over 4,000 families on the waiting list.
According to Cllr Dennis, ‘Good homes transform lives, and every affordable home not built is a lost opportunity’ highlighting the community's dire need for adequate housing.
The developer Berkeley plans to decrease affordable housing from 35% to 12%, cancelling a Community Land Trust that aimed at providing locally-designed low-cost housing.
A petition by Aylesham Community Action for at least 50% social housing in the development has gained nearly 5,000 signatures, reflecting community opposition to the changes.
