The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of potential merits of releasing surplus Strategic Industrial Location at Park Royal for affordable housing.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

No such assessment has been made by the government.

The use of Strategic Industrial Land in London is a matter for the Mayor of London and considered through his London Plan.

I understand that the Mayor intends to consult on a new draft London Plan in the near future.
