The number of homes that developers are planning to build in London has fallen to the lowest level since the height of the financial crash, despite the capital suffering a housing shortage.
The National House Building Council, whose data covers 80% of all new-builds in Britain, said that developers registered 14,795 homes to build in London in the year to the end of March.
This was a 23% drop on the previous year and the lowest number since 2009-10, when 12,161 homes were registered in the capital.
