Battersea Power Station will delay building some affordable homes due to "wider economic changes".

The 100 properties, which were due to be finished in the upcoming third phase of building, will now be pushed back to “ease challenges” of delivering the huge development, which includes building a new Tube station nearby.

These affordable homes represent one sixth of the total number it must build in an agreement decided when the development received planning permission, but are just 8pc of the homes that were due to be built in the third phase.
