Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the London Plan policy on minimum space standards (D6) on the (a) new build provision and (b) price of small flats in London.

My Department has made no specific assessment of Policy D6 from the current London Plan on the viability of development in London

The Mayor is consulting on a draft new London Plan to replace the current plan and the overall impact of the proposed policies on the viability of development will need to be considered as part of the plan’s examination.
