Q2. What is your vision for the
future of the borough of Kingston,
including how and where we should
build a significant increase in the
number of homes, supported by jobs
and infrastructure?
Do you prefer either of the scenarios set out, a mix of both,
or an alternative?
I prefer:
Mainly scenario 1 (Widespread growth)
Mainly scenario 2 (Concentrated growth)
A mix of both scenarios

The term infrastructure covers a broad range of measures including buildings, transport, utilities (e.g. energy and water)
and green/environmental infrastructure (e.g. open space).

5. Design
Tall buildings
Good design and good planning are intrinsically linked. High quality design and an ability to adapt to change are important At almost 81 metres tall, Tolworth Tower is the tallest building in the borough. There are also tall buildings in New Malden,

people’s health and well-being, reduce energy bills and meet people’s needs over their lifetime.

Affordable Housing Q10. How do you think we could deliver more affordable homes?
Affordable housing is available to households whose needs are not met by the private market. The Mayor of London
has set a strategic affordable housing target of 50%. These affordable homes can be delivered in three ways
to achieve the overall target:
1. schemes solely developed for affordable housing or with very
high levels of affordable housing, normally built by housing associations,
2. estate regeneration, and similar development of public land, and Q11. Which type of affordable housing do you think the council should prioritise,
3. affordable housing delivered by developers alongside market housing,
secured by planning agreements.
and why? Please tick all that apply:
The local plan can set the level (%) of affordable housing that developers should deliver on individual sites. However, Affordable Rent
we have to be mindful of the Mayor’s overall 50% strategic target across London. London Affordable Rent
Social Rent
Affordable housing falls into two broad categories:
London Living Rent
• Affordable housing for rent helps households on the lowest 25% of incomes in the borough who are on our housing Shared ownership
register. Currently, affordable rents that are set at 80% of local market rents are unaffordable to many households on Discount Market Sale
the lowest 25% of incomes in the borough. Both London Affordable Rent and social rents are set at levels significantly
below 80% to help these households.
Please tell us why:
• Intermediate housing helps households earning between £18,100 and £90,000 a year into home ownership.
We have some choice about the type of affordable housing that we require from housing developments,
based on need. The London Plan requires:
• 30% of the affordable homes secured on development sites to be affordable housing for rent.
• 30% of the affordable homes secured on development sites to be intermediate housing.
• We can choose what sort of affordable housing the other 40% of affordable homes can be.
Q12. What type of housing should the council be seeking for the other 40% of
affordable homes which are not set out by the Mayor of London?
Affordable housing products
There are different types of affordable housing products available, and more products might be developed in the future.
The options are:
• London Affordable Rent - is available to people who are on our housing register. The rents are set annually by the Mayor of Q13. Are there any types of affordable housing you think the council should not
London and are closer to rents for council flats and houses. Currently, the rent for a one bed property is £150 per week, £159
for a two bed, and £168 for a three bed. be encouraging, and why?
• Social Rent - is normally only available for council-owned and some housing association owned homes. Rents are set by the
national rent regime. Currently, average council rents are £102 per week for a one bed, £115 for a two bed and £131 per week
for a three bed.
• Affordable Rent - is available to people who are on our housing register. The rent is no more than 80% of local market rent,
including service charge.
• London Living Rent - housing for people who want to own their own home and who earn up to £60,000 per year.
For example, currently rents for New Malden are £864 per month for a one bed, £960 for a two bed and £1,056 for a three bed.
• Shared Ownership - housing for people who want to own their own home and who earn up to £90,000 per year. Shared
Ownership offers people the chance to buy a share of their home (between 25% and 75% of the value) and pay rent on the
remaining share.
• Discount Market Sale - is sold at a discount of at least 20% below local market value. It is available to people who cannot
buy a home on the open market.

We need to think about how we can provide an environment where we create jobs and opportunities for those who want
to work in the borough, and spaces for the businesses that want to locate here. More people commute out of the borough

Purpose-built student housing borough so that more residents have the opportunity to work here.
The Mayor of London is very positive about the contribution made to London’s economy and labour market by
higher educational institutions, and estimates that London requires 3,500 new purpose-built student bedrooms per
year. Student accommodation is an important element of our borough’s housing mix. Research showed that in 2016
there were 16,000 students living in the borough of Kingston. Students, whether from Kingston University or another

Q15. What role can the borough play in contributing towards meeting London’s commute in for commute out for
BOROUGH

student accommodation need?
Self-build housing Two of the main drivers of commuting are access to job opportunities and the potential to earn higher salaries elsewhere.
As a council, we have a duty to keep a register of people who wish to acquire land to bring forward self-build housing projects. At £701.90, weekly gross median earnings are very high in the borough of Kingston (the national average is £532.60).
As part of this, we are required to identify plots of land to meet the needs of the people on the self-build housing register. However, median workplace earnings, at £557.30 a week, are far lower than resident earnings, although above the
national average. This suggests that out-commuting workers are benefiting from higher pay working elsewhere.
