More than 500 tall buildings are being planned in London, with 25% of them being residential developments. The figures are contained in an annual survey produced by New London Architecture in association with planning specialists GL Hearn, which looks at buildings over 20 storeys. It reports there are currently 510 of them in development, of which a record 115 are currently under construction. Once built, the 458 residential developments have the potential to provide 106,000 new homes. Inner London remains the focus for the majority, but a third of them are in outer London boroughs.
