Wandsworth Council is pressing ahead with its own plans to help alleviate its social housing crisis.

The authority wants to require developers to deliver 50% affordable housing on all new schemes, with a majority to be council housing.

It is looking to amend its Local Plan to include the requirement, and the matter will be discussed at a council meeting next week.

If approved, the next steps will be to hold a public consultation before submitting the proposals to the Government for examination.
