How red tape is blocking 320,000 new London homes

This red tape is slowing down the much-needed expansion to address the city's escalating demand for housing. The issue underscores the urgent need for streamlined processes to make it easier for developers to build and extend properties, which could significantly alleviate the housing crisis in one of the world's most expensive cities.
