London Standard Writes About the Perfect Storm

Jonathan Prynn, Business Editor of the London Standard, writes about the perfect storm fuelling London’s housebuilding crisis.

Jonathan quotes CPA CEO Steve Mulholland who talks about a survey of CPA members which revealed that 150 high-rise projects requiring tower cranes were held up by delayed Gateway 2 approval.
