Lambeth Council, which has a development agreement with Pocket Living for a 92-home scheme, recently approved its ambitious New Homes Programme.

In March 2026, Lambeth Council approved plans to accelerate its New Homes Programme, aiming to deliver at least 10,000 new homes over the next decade with a target of 40% affordable housing. The council's Cabinet made this decision on March 23, 2026, to address the borough's severe housing crisis, as highlighted by Councillor Danial Adilypour, Deputy Leader of the Council (Housing, Investment, & New Homes).

Pocket Living, a company focused on developing affordable housing for first-time buyers, is involved in a Development Agreement with Lambeth Council for a 92-home scheme on Leigham Court Road. The New Homes Programme aims to increase the supply of social rent properties and reduce reliance on costly temporary accommodation.
