Suburban Resistance: How Outer London boroughs turned down 4,160 potential new homes in H1

Despite all the Brexit uncertainty, new home approvals in London unexpectedly rose to 6,310 in Q2 2016, with Westminster "soaring ahead" in terms of approvals and applications.

The government has released "the second half of the Budget" today, with a heavy focus on addressing the shortage of housing supply - a topic that was noticeably absent from Wednesday's speech.
