Housing
Councils are addressing housing needs through planning applications for new residential developments and strategic approaches to housing and homelessness.
In October 2026, Havering's Planning Committee considered planning permission for four new residential dwellings, while Redbridge's Planning Committee was scheduled to review proposals for new residential developments. Earlier, in September 2026, Wandsworth's Planning Applications Committee granted permission for five applications, including a change of use.
Merton Council approved changes in September 2026 to align leadership with key priorities, including housing and tackling homelessness. Also in September 2026, Camden's Holborn District Management Committee discussed the Housing Revenue Account's medium-term financial strategy and resident engagement for budget setting.
