"London needs more homes, plain and simple. That means that building more places to live is a huge focus for the city's leaders right now. The goal is for a whopping 88,000 new homes to be delivered every year over the next decade, and in order to hit that goal every borough in the city has to play its part. Among them, Greenwich is doing its bit with a new 15,000-home town, Brent has promised 6,000 new homes for first-time buyers and Enfield is committed to building 10,000 extra homes."
"It wants to build most of the new 'units' in Fulham - 8,000 of them to be exact. The three other regeneration areas that the plan focuses on are White City (set to get 6,000 new units), Hammersmith Town Centre (with 5,000 homes planned) and South Fulham Riverside (with a target of 3,000). The council is aiming to build an additional 3,000 new homes outside of those areas, bringing its total target over 15 years to 25,000. That exceeds the target set out in the citywide London Plan."
"In its introduction to the Local Plan, the council writes: 'The council will work with partner organisations and landowners to exceed the London Plan (2021) minimum target of 1,609 additional dwellings a year up to 2029 and to continue to seek at least 1,609 additional dwellings a year in the period up to 2042.'"
London aims to deliver 88,000 new homes annually over the next decade, requiring each borough to contribute. Hammersmith and Fulham's Local Plan sets a 2027–2042 target of 25,000 new homes, exceeding the London Plan minimum. The biggest concentration is in Fulham (8,000), followed by White City (6,000), Hammersmith Town Centre (5,000), South Fulham Riverside (3,000), plus 3,000 elsewhere. The council pledges to work with partners to surpass the London Plan (2021) minimum of 1,609 dwellings per year to 2029 and maintain that rate to 2042. Plans include site regeneration, protection of Brompton Cemetery, and demolishing Hammersmith Flyover; consultations remain pending.
