Housing developers are being encouraged to build on flood prone areas in London
An article by Bloomberg has found that a worrying amount of new housing is being planned or encouraged on flood prone areas of London.
This is happening all over London and especially in areas along the Thames. The article mentions Hackney Wick and our neighbouring borough of Newham as being among “dozens of ‘opportunity areas’ designated by Mayor Sadiq Khan for development to alleviate a housing shortage.
“Developers are being encouraged to build on flood-prone areas, with some projects approved despite dire warnings of risks from more extreme weather as London’s climate changes,” it says.
