Housing Secretary Michael Gove took a dramatic step on Monday to intervene in Sadiq Khan’s London Plan to force through a new homes boom.
Mr Gove announced an “intention” to work with City Hall on a joint taskforce to boost the delivery of housing in the capital. But he told the Mayor that he was reserving the right to use powers at his disposal to instruct changes to the London Plan where it is seen to be “choking housing supply”.
