    What has the human rights act got to do with it?
    Redevelopment in inner London is already happening and has been for quite some time. my proposal is that it happens a faster and that instead of knocking 500 flats down and replacing with 1000 they try to replace with 1,500 or maybe even more.

    one of the grounds that the council's application to knock the whole lot down (its already 95% empty) was rejected, that it violated the RTB leaseholders human rights.
    anyway I am not an expert on the situation but it of interest because it is a council estate (labour council) and its the council trying ot knock it down but with a well organised resistance army (Corbyns brother Pier is involved). I think its been going on for many years already.

    Forget about London, it's irrelevant as only immigrants really want to live in London anyway.
