New housing in London Borough of Islington
We don't read London Borough of Islington's planning register yet, so reports on fields here rely on national data: Green Belt, flood zones, protected land, farmland quality and how close a field is to a town or village.
It delivered 69% of the homes it needed in the 2025 Housing Delivery Test, below the 75% at which national policy treats it as having an unmet need for housing.
