in the capital<\/a> would only provide 17 years housing delivery\u2014some 214,875 properties.<\/p>\nWhile SMDs account for 66 per cent of schemes in the planning pipeline, they will only deliver 41,878 properties between them, providing just 19 per cent of the overall number of properties in London\u2019s pipeline.<\/p>\n
Director of Land and New Homes at KFH John East said: \u201cThe Government\u2019s Housing White Paper makes clear that small and medium sized developments are vital for London to meet its housing need.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur analysis proves that more has to be done to support developers at the smaller end of the scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking more land available for these developments and accelerating the construction of sites that already have planning permission is a start, but securing consent will remain a challenge where there are local sensitivities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Five boroughs provide the majority of SMD developments<\/h3>\n
The analysis also revealed that five boroughs in London have SMDs providing the majority of units in the local pipeline.<\/p>\n
According to the figures Bromley has the largest proportion of units being delivered by these developers at 70.5 per cent. Behind Bromley is Camden, Westminster, Richmond upon Thames, and Kensington and Chelsea at 66, 63.4, 63.1 and 53.8 per cent, respectively.<\/p>\n
The lowest proportion of units delivered by SMDs was seen in Newham, Barking and Dagenham and Hammersmith and Fulham at 4.3, 5.7 and 7.9 per cent, respectively.<\/p>\n
East added: \u201cIt is clear many boroughs need to do more to include SMDs in their local plans and get behind the developers hoping to build them.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, only a unified approach will work; local authorities, central government and developers must work together if London is to get anywhere close to fulfilling its housing requirement.\u201d<\/p>\n
