520			_aProposes a new solution to the problem of delivering 200 000 affordable homes needed in London at a price of £100 000 without any government grant or subsidy. The answer is to build high-density homes in areas close to transport nodes and other key community sites, using a deferred land payment mechanism, employing advanced commercial construction techniques that can reduce building costs by 20% and using high-quality architects to get design considerations right. Supports the creation of a new specific use class for affordable housing in the context of changes to PPG3, which would give local authorities greater freedom to permit residential development on superfluous industrial or commercial land. Only affordable housing should be allowed on this land. Concludes that this affordable homes target can be met over the next three years.
