I am pleased to see more flexibility in grants being given to registered providers in your new housing programme. At the Assembly Housing Committee on 8 November 2017, it was suggested that this flexibility may be extended to organisations who are not registered providers, as long as grants are not made conditional on the provision of sub-market rental homes. Does this mean that grants without conditions might be made available to organisations whose constituted aims are to provide more affordable homes, such as many community-led housing organisations?

Thank you for your response to my question 2017/4343. Disappointingly, there isn't much detail of the 'first dibs' policy in the housing section of the draft London Plan. However, you do mention (in paragraph 4.1.6) that you will be discussing measures to ensure more new homes are available first to Londoners with major housebuilders. How will you include Londoners in need of affordable housing in your discussions about these proposals?
