Sir Sadiq Khan has announced plans to "actively explore" building on some of London's green belt in a bid to fix the capital's housing crisis.

The Mayor of London argues that current rules prohibiting development on the green belt are "wrong, out-of-date and simply unsustainable", with many Londoners unable to rent or buy a home.

Under the proposals, London's planners will consider releasing some stretches of the land, with conditions on affordable housing, energy efficiency, transport links and promoting access to green spaces.

City Hall's Conservatives have labelled the plans "a total betrayal of Londoners", calling it "environmental vandalism on a unprecedented scale"
