Brandon Lewis

There is outline planning permission for approximately 6,800 homes on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The target is for 31 per cent of these homes to be affordable, which means over 2,100 affordable homes across the entire site.

The exact percentage of affordable homes delivered will depend on the market conditions as each scheme comes to market.
