Small sites in London to be made available to smaller builders of new homes

A small site building pilot programme has been launched in London with the aim of using smaller builders and increasing the number of genuinely affordable new homes. Two locations have been selected for the pilot and London Mayor Sadiq Khan has instructed Transport for London to bring forward 10 of its small sites for development, with capacity ranging from between two and 42 homes. The land will be made more accessible for smaller builders through a simple bidding process with standardised legal contracts, and two of the sites will be dedicated specifically to community led housing groups.
