A new Savills report – Spotlight on<\/em> London Infrastructure: Connecting Opportunities<\/em> – has estimated that the cost of infrastructure necessary for London to keep up with its burgeoning housing demand is \u00c2\u00a395bn, including two Crossrail lines, extensions to the Bakerloo line, DLR and overground, some of the HS2 cost, road improvements, a new bridge and a new tunnel.<\/h3>\n

\"WestminsterThe same company has previously said that 50,000 new homes are needed in London alone each year to keep up with demand. The report suggests that, by better connecting boroughs further from the expensive centre of the city, 82% of the new homes required will be able to be constructed at around \u00c2\u00a3700 psf, with a number much closer to \u00c2\u00a3450 psf.<\/p>\n

Susan Emmett, Savills residential research director, is reported to have commented:<\/p>\n

“London needs a long term vision and deep pockets if it is to accommodate forecast population growth and retain its competitiveness as a world city.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The report suggests \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcinnovative approaches\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 will be needed to raise the funds for the new homes. It argued that retaining property revenue streams like stamp duty, land tax and business rates could make a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsignificant difference\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to the capital. In 2013, 42% of the \u00c2\u00a36.5bn generated from stamp duty land tax came from London.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) has been touted as a success, although being non-compulsory has meant many councils still utilise S. 106 agreements to extract so called ‘planning gain’ from planning applications, which means only 2% of the funding for crossrail is anticipated to be CIL funded.<\/p>\n

\"cityCrossrail itself is likely to be the focal point for a number of new homes along its route. It is estimated to bring 13,000 affordable homes to London and has been stated as having \u00e2\u20ac\u02dca significant part to play in boosting housing numbers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, with 61,000 new homes in total planned along the Crossrail line.<\/p>\n

It is not just numbers that Savills have considered; they also identify within their report the need for holistically designed new communities to deliver the homes necessary. The results of their research indicate that what homeowners typically value most about their homes is not the building in which they live, but a number of other factors external to the property – from safety to greenery, amenities to neighbourhood quality.<\/p>\n

The report states:<\/p>\n

“\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6placemaking is paramount in regeneration schemes which can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t rely on the services and amenities of established neighbourhoods.<\/em><\/p>\n

“King\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cross is a clear success story. Despite it only being part way through the delivery period, it already feels vibrant. Stratford has also been transformed over the past decade. The Olympics brought with it the centre piece of the sports stadium, certainty of delivery within a strict deadline and significant investment in infrastructure, retail and public realm up front.”<\/em><\/p>\n
