🗣️ "London's Green Belt review is a necessary step forward."    With London delivering less than half of its 88,000 home target, and with rents soaring 11.5% last year, Sarah Hiscutt explores why the Mayor's Green Belt review represents a fundamental shift in strategic thinking. Green Belt release could unlock significant development opportunities, but how do we get local boroughs on board and ensure developments actually deliver the homes London needs? This represents London's greatest housing opportunity and its most sensitive political challenge.

With the UK's over-65 population consuming half of all NHS resources, healthcare costs represent one of the nation's most pressing fiscal challenges. By 2040, an additional 5 million seniors will intensify this pressure. Purpose-built seniors housing offers a powerful solution. Each resident in quality seniors accommodation generates annual savings of up to £6,500 in local health and social care costs through reduced hospital admissions, delayed care home placement, and improved health outcomes. The opportunity is clear, and investor appetite is strong. Yet delivery remains critically inadequate, with the sector trapped in a fundamental supply-demand imbalance.

As the effects of these pre-emptive moves taper off, the region is likely to see a period of recalibration.
