The London Housing Panel is made up of 15 grassroots groups and organisations that want the diverse voices of different housing experiences in London to influence the Mayor’s policies. In 2023 the Panel was invited to work with the Mayor’s London Plan team to help them gather evidence as part of their Planning for London programme.
In summer 2023, the Panel supported a series of ten community conversations with people whose voices are not heard in discussions about housing and planning. The conversations were hosted by diverse members of the Panel and its community partners. In autumn 2023 the hosts came together to share and discuss their conversations and identify common themes. This is a report about what people said in their community conversation and what they would like to see change.
There is no executive summary in this report. The Panel and its community partners want readers to grasp the nuance and specificity that’s needed in housing and planning if the diverse housing needs of Londoners are going to be met. When the hosts came together to share their findings, four themes stood out: safety, accessibility, homes over the course of our lives; and the need for a more flexible and inclusive planning system. The report is organised around those themes.
Recommendations Report (to be published shortly)
The London Housing Panel’s recommendations for the London Plan and Strategic Housing Market Assessment are published in a companion Recommendations report.
This Recommendations report concentrates on what the London Housing Panel Community Conversations findings mean for the London Plan and for the Strategic Housing Market Assessment which informs the Plan. It is a companion report to a wider Findings report which sets out with more depth and specificity what the community conversations found and the four critical areas for change they identified.
