PL 5 Provision of new homes
- The Council will make provision for at least 25,860 net additional homes from conventional supply and 1,320 from non-self contained accommodation between 2015/16 and 2029/30 as set out in Table 4.3B. The conventional supply will include at least 1,363 new dwellings in central Wandsworth and the Wandle Delta and adjacent sites, 13,462 in Nine Elms, 880 on other sites on the Thames riverside, 926 in Clapham Junction and the adjoining area, 435 in Putney town centre, and 80 in Tooting and Balham town centres. This can be achieved by:
- The development of sites identified in the Site Specific Allocations Document, housing trajectory, SHLAA 2013 and windfall sites.
- Development in the borough’s existing five town centres and adjoining areas, in the Thames Policy Area and the limited release of surplus industrial land
- Development which achieves higher densities compatible with the local context, the principles of good design and public transport capacity. In assessing new development regard will be had to the density ranges set out in the London Plan 2015. Where necessary consideration will be given to enhancement of the existing transport network to support regeneration and higher density developments.
- A review of the Core Strategy housing targets will be undertaken following the publication of any replacement London Plan which sets significantly higher housing targets during the plan period.
