Hi DuncanW, Price is a function of supply and demand where demand is a function of the taxation or properties, price and availability of finance for all the different type of buyers both domestic and foreign individual and business and corporate. Much foreign buying also have some cultural issues around not buying or even using second hand homes so they remain empty - see lack of lights on riverside proprieties in London. Hi beansprout, Finland solution, admittedly a much smaller country, that housing the homeless is significantly cheaper than not housing them in terms of health, social ,etc costs. Southwark has the joint highest number of empty council homes, and second worst total number of empty homes a smidgen behind Barnet Council in London - https://www.selondoner.co.uk/news/16052025-southwark-council-sees-most-empty-homes-owned-as-long-term-vacants-increase-again . We do have infill sites in the area. Infiill sites are small parcels of land. The Railway site isn't an infill site, it's too big. It is a raised area by roughly two storeys compared to the area where a 9 storey tower and other 7 & 8 storey blocks will be built on top. This is totally out of character for the area. Many residents will be directly impacted. Other developers on the night told me after the Panning Committee approval that they were shocked it had been approved. It has changed their attitudes of what can be approved in the area. Dulwich Hamlet ground has very recently been approved to be moved to Metropolitan Open Land green open space to allow the current ground to be rebuilt into from memory 248 flats. It seems clear Labour councils have been directed by the Labour Government to 'approve baby approve'. Southwark Council and the Labour Government are planning the reduction in the proportion of Social Housing in new housing developments from 35% to 20%. This likely to delay a number of approved schemes while they recycle through the planning process to reduce their social housing numbers. WRT student numbers. The peak is forecast in 2030 with rapid decline thereafter. International students numbers already declining. What will happen to these blocks of small studio rooms in the longer term once student numbers are down? Students likely to choose more centrally located blocks. Current student accommodation such as Champion Hill has been closed for a number of years with no rush to reopen it so King's doesn't appear to feel pressure on the student accommodation front. -
