520 _aNewly released government housing statistics reveal that only 58,000 homes were built in London and the South-East between 1996 and 2000. Meanwhile, the number of buyers searching for new property rose by more than 6% to 184,000 over this period. House builders are blaming exorbitant planning gain demands, known as s106 agreements, for this fall in the number of new homes.
