London mayor rejects application to reduce proportion of affordable housing at police HQ site

Plans to modify the number of homes being built on the site of the former headquarters of the Metropolitan Police have been described as simply unacceptable by London mayor Sadiq Khan.

Khan rejected the plans by BL Development, a unit of Abu Dhabi Financial Group, to increase the number of units on the site at 8-10 Broadway by 27, none of which were going to be affordable housing.

Planning permission was granted last year for the construction of 268 homes, of which 4% would be affordable. The increase would have reduced the level of affordable homes to 3%.
