London mayor announces details of inaugural scheme to develop publicly-owned land for affordable housing

Sadiq Khan’s first ‘Small Site, Small Builders’ housing development scheme using small plots of publicly-owned land to develop affrodable housing has been given the go-ahead by Barnet Council.

Delivering 97 homes, 35 of which will be what the mayor’s office labelled “genuinely affordable”, the 1.4-acre Beechwood Avenue plot is being developed by Croydon-based firm Kuropatwa and is expected to start by the end of this year.

The mayor’s office said that with many of the 35 homes’ rooms being large in size the affordability level worked out at 50%, using Barnet council’s habitable rooms methodology.
