The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what is the latest assessment of the number of homes that have been (a) started and (b) completed in the Old Oak Common site in West London since July 2024, and what steps are (i) his department and (ii) Homes England taking to support housebuilding in that area in this Parliament.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Data on starts and completions at the Old Oak Opportunity area in West London are not centrally collected.

The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) is a Mayoral Development Corporation established by the Mayor of London to regenerate the Old Oak opportunity area.

My Department will continue to work with the Mayor and OPDC to deliver up to 9,000 new homes, as set out in the Old Oak Masterplan Framework, and ensure the best use of public sector land to bring forward new housing and regeneration.
