What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Taylor Wimpey is backing away from developing new homes in London because the economic case has 'evaporated'. Jennie Daly, who runs Taylor Wimpey, stated the company has no intention of building more homes in the capital once current projects are complete. Housebuilders have warned Sadiq Khan that London has become a 'no-go zone' for investment due to unrealistic affordable housing targets.
