NLA New ideas for housing
Housing is in dangerously short supply. London councils are struggling with widespread cuts. Schools building programmes have been scrapped.
In central London there are dozens of low-rise schools sitting in the middle of extremely valuable sites. Our proposals look to intensify these sites by facilitating councils to sell air-rights to developers for the building of much needed housing stock.
In return for the development rights the council will have the schools provision replaced on-site with high-quality integrated design and share the profits with the developer at appropriate levels to allow councils to invest the profits where they see fit.
