Housing: Greater London

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the London Plan policy on Accessibility (D7) on the ability to construct mansion blocks with walk-up steps in London.

Answer

I have not made a specific assessment of this London Plan policy. The current London Plan was published in 2021 and was the subject of public consultation in 2018, an Examination in Public in 2019 and Secretary of State consideration in 2020, where the policy would have been considered.
