Labour Councils Challenge Sadiq Khan’s Affordable Housing Quota Cut

Three London councils, two of which are Labour controlled, have launched a legal challenge against the Mayor of London’s proposal to reduce the affordable housing quota from 35% to 20%.

According to Landlord Today, a total of seven councils are backing the legal action. Lambeth, Southwark, Waltham Forest, and Haringey councils—all Labour controlled—are formally supporting the challenge.

This development may impact affordable housing targets and planning policies relevant to letting agents and inventory clerks operating in London.
