 LONDON HOUSE BUILDING SOARING

The number of new build homes in London in 2004 was the highest in more than 20 years according to new figures from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM).

24,123 homes were built in the capital last year - 31 per cent up on the ODPM's 2003 figure of 18,382. This compares with an increase outside London of 3 per cent in the same period.

The ODPM figures do not include long-term empty homes returned to use or net gains from conversions. Including these figures to show the total number of new homes coming on stream would produce a substantially higher figure still.

Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, said: "There has been a dramatic improvement in the number of new homes being built in the capital in recent years. The London Plan sets ambitious targets for new homes and it is welcome that the house building industry is listening. New homes remain one of the capital's greatest needs but house builders and boroughs are really starting to deliver."
