Khan Slams Wandsworth's Local Plan Review Over Affordable Housing

Wandsworth Council's Local Plan Partial Review is facing criticism from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who has voiced concerns regarding its potential impact on affordable housing within the borough. Specifically, Mr. Khan's concerns relate to the plan's viability , its lack of conformity with the Mayor's London Plan, and the anticipated negative impact on affordable housing delivery in Wandsworth.

The concerns were brought to the forefront in a motion presented by Councillor Daniel Hamilton and Councillor Matthew Corner at the Wandsworth Borough Council meeting on 16 July 2025. The motion, detailed in the Supplementary Agenda - Motions and Matters of Local or Topical Interest, highlights the issues raised by the Mayor regarding the Local Plan Partial Review.
