It was great to visit @NESO_energy today to discuss London’s energy system, particularly how regional energy planning will help meet London’s future energy needs and ensure resilience. Looking forward to starting to work with NESO on the London RESP later this year

Thanks to ESF for their work on e-bike safety. London’s delivery riders rely on e-bikes, but unsafe batteries, chargers and modifications can put lives at risk.
Stronger regulation of these products is needed, alongside @LondonFire #ChargeSafe campaign, to keep Londoners safe.
Hosted by @JamesAsser MP, we invited MPs and stakeholders in Parliament yesterday for the launch of our new research with @ucl: bit.ly/4k6jsL1 The findings highlight the need to look beyond individual riders and address the wider barriers to safer e-bike use.

Great to join @londonchamber this week to discuss how @MayorofLondon's London Plan has provided the strategic framework that has shaped the growth of the capital, helping to unlock new development and investment.

How should London grow over the coming decades? @MayorofLondon's draft London Plan sets out proposals for the homes, jobs, transport and greener neighbourhoods our city needs. Have your say before the consultation closes at 5pm tomorrow, Thursday 15 October.
Another 463 homes approved at today’s public hearing on the proposed Stoney Wood Quarter scheme in Barnet. The scheme will provide 463 new homes, including 212 affordable units, alongside flexible amenity and commercial space, new public squares and playspace.
This means through use of @MayorofLondon's call-in powers, we have now firmly passed the 10,000-homes milestone across 9 call-ins that have come forward since the start of the year.

Vibrant and resilient high streets are a priority for @MayorofLondon. It was great to celebrate the joint working on London’s high streets earlier this week at City Hall, and see partners share latest insights and best practice at our High Streets for All day.

With one week to go to the close of the consultation on @MayorofLondon's draft London Plan, it was great to join @Savills earlier this week to discuss the draft Plan, and what more needs to be done to help London's struggling residential market.
📅 Consultation Deadline 15th Oct
Having carefully considered the application and the views of council’s representatives, as well as the developer, I approved the proposed Shoreditch Works scheme in Hackney at yesterday’s public hearing.
This brings the total number of homes approved via
@MayorofLondon's call-in process since January to 10,058, a significant milestone for the Mayor who has committed to get London building.

Thanks to @MoversShakersUK for invitation to speak on how we can drive more investment into the Build to Rent sector. The sector now plays a vital role in London’s overall housing supply, and @MayorofLondon's draft London Plan promotes a positive approach to BtR schemes.

Today, having carefully considered the views of the council, supporters and objectors, and the developer, I approved the proposals at Phoenix Academy in the London borough of Hammersmith & Fulham for 307 homes, including 90 affordable homes (37%) all at social rent.

This brings the total number of homes approved via @MayorofLondon's call-in process since January 2026 to 9,980.
It was great to be at #LREF last week to talk about the draft new London Plan and @MayorofLondon's Housebuilding Offer which includes two new services NHA LDN and ATLAS LDN. We are still open to you submitting your sites 👉london.gov.uk/programmes-str…

Fantastic news that housing starts in London were up nearly 300% in the last year according to the latest government data released today.
These are very difficult times for homebuilding, but under this @MayorofLondon City Hall is doing more than every before to support delivery.
These are tough times for housebuilding in England, but new housing statistics released this morning show welcome signs of progress:
✅Housing starts in Q2 of this year were up 6% on the previous quarter (a 20% increase on the same quarter last year).
✅London saw the biggest increase with starts up a phenomenal 298% on last year.
✅Units within outline residential applications are up 41% from a year earlier.
✅Permission in principle decisions on brownfield register sites more than doubled (a 79% increase on the same quarter last year).
Over the past 26 months, we’ve undertaken the most rapid, holistic and radical overhaul of the housing and planning system in decades.
Despite the strong headwinds, we are going to stay the course and ensure the country enjoys high and sustainable rates of housebuilding in the years ahead.
Ilford has a vital role to play in London's future. @MayorofLondon and @RedbridgeLive are working on a new Ilford Opportunity Area Planning Framework, and local voices must be at the heart of that conversation. Share your views via the consultation👉ilfordoapf.commonplace.is/
Great to join @HomeBuildersFed to discuss the housing delivery ambition at the heart of @MayorofLondon's draft new London Plan, as well as progress on the emergency housing package for London 6 months on from when it was announced.
This morning, we hosted our London Residential Developers Forum, bringing together industry leaders to discuss the challenges facing London’s housing market.
It was fantastic to hear from our guest speaker, Jules Pipe CBE, Deputy Mayor of London for Planning, Regeneration and the Fire Service.
The session provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to share their insights on how the Draft London Plan could best support London’s home builders, as well as discuss the broader viability and affordability constraints across the wider housing market.

Earlier this week, @tomcopley and I joined @CratusGroup to discuss how @MayorofLondon's draft London Plan will make a difference to how our city develops over the next decade, and seeks to provide the confidence needed to get London to increase housing delivery again.

Joined @opportunityldn at #LREF today to set out how @MayorofLondon's draft London Plan recognises utility networks as the backbone of London's growth, and explore how we can aggregate investment into the energy infrastructure needed to unlock long-term sustainable growth.
