"Peabody London will struggle to build its target 88,000 new homes every year for the next decade unless two major rail projects are given the green light, the deputy mayor for housing has said. Tom Copley said the next London Plan would factor in the government's request, which was part of a target for 1.5m new homes in the UK by 2029, but could fall short if enough infrastructure was not built."
"Independent analysis from consulting firm Hatch suggested that 107,000 new homes could be built along the Bakerloo Line if it was extended to Hayes in the south-east, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said. The West London Orbital, which would run from Hendon and West Hampstead to Hounslow, could help deliver up to 15,800 new homes. Both projects have been backed by the mayor of London, however neither featured in the government's Budget last year."
London aims to deliver 88,000 new homes each year for the next decade, tied to a national request for 1.5 million homes by 2029, but achievement depends on major rail infrastructure and substantial funding. Critical projects identified include a DLR extension, a Bakerloo Line extension to Hayes, and the West London Orbital. Independent analysis estimated 107,000 homes could arise along an extended Bakerloo and up to 15,800 from the West London Orbital. Both schemes are backed by the mayor but were not included in the government Budget and lack imminent approval.
