London is "by some accounts" the most expensive city in the world to build in, the GLA said.It said the decision "responds to the difficult conditions London currently faces and will allow the GLA to ensure the delivery of more schemes and complete the maximum number of affordable and social homes in the 2021-2026 programme".

The GLA said it intended to deliver "at least the mid-point of target range" of 17,800 to 19,000 new homes by 2026.Copley blamed the "horrendous legacy of the last government", as well as high interest rates, spiralling building costs and "the lasting impact of Brexit" for the cut in the target.He said those factors "made it harder and more expensive to build homes".

The GLA said policy issues that arose under the previous government, including delays receiving sign off with the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), has driven up the cost of building the capital.New builds in London tend to be denser and taller buildings, which are costlier per unit.

The GLA said while the BSR "was created to drive well intentioned improvements to building safety, the government has acknowledged that the BSR's current approach has also made it significantly slower to build new homes".

"There's a massive danger it'll come like a tsunami."Chief executive of the Scottish Drugs Forum Kirsten Horsburgh described the figures as a huge concern and said Scotland was not prepared for a major influx of nitazene.
