I note that your Draft London Plan proposes ripping up existing planning rules and calls on homebuilders to develop sites at higher housing densities to substantially increase housing capacity in the capital. This will in my view inevitably lead to the loss of local character in many areas, yet I note that nowhere do you mention why we need to build 65,000 new homes a year in London. Why do you think London needs all these new homes each and every year?
