Greenwich Council recently approved a Deptford development that significantly missed its affordable housing target.

Greenwich Council's Planning Board approved a large development in Deptford in October 2026, despite it falling short of affordable housing targets. The scheme for 802 homes at the former Lewisham College site will deliver only 3% affordable housing on-site, missing the council's 35% target, according to a report.

Discussions on affordable housing are scheduled for upcoming council meetings. The Barbican Estate Residents Consultation Committee at City of London Council and Haringey Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee are set to meet on 26 October 2026. Westminster Council's Planning Sub-Committee (1) meets on 27 October 2026, followed by Bromley Council's Executive on 28 October 2026. Islington Council's Licensing Sub Committee D has a meeting scheduled for 2 November 2026.
