Berkeleys South London Project: Affordable Housing Cuts Spark Controversy

Berkeleys Borough Triangle project in Southwark, London, is facing backlash for proposed cuts to affordable housing from 35% to 10%. The development includes four tower blocks, offices, retail space, and a community center. Berkeley plans to increase affordable housing to 20% if they secure government grants. The original approval was narrowly passed, and now Berkeley seeks to reduce affordable units from 100 to 60. Locals and councillors criticize the move, with opposition leader Victor Chamberlain urging planners to reject the revision. Berkeley argues that each affordable home loses money due to higher taxes and build costs, but opponents demand real affordable homes in a tight market.
