Illustrative masterplan for up to 1,952 homes on Kingston grey belt. Including 605 at Social Rent.
Kingston Council has significantly underperformed in delivering affordable housing, achieving only 10% of its cumulative
target since 2011/12, leaving a shortfall of 6,637 homes.
Around 2,100 households remain on the waiting list, with average wait times up to 18 years for a 3-bedroom home.

From 30.15% as consented down to 16.6% affordable homes from 100 to 58. Whilst increasing the number of homes overall from 421 to 434 for an 52 floor tower and public park at Cuba Street, Isle of Dogs. 1/5
