Boris Johnson has today approved a plan to build nearly 700 homes on the former Royal Mail site at Mount Pleasant in Islington.
The plans have been attacked by councillors after it was revealed that affordable rent levels for the development could be set at up to £2,800 per month.
A leaked report on the redevelopment of the Royal Mail site at Mount Pleasant in Clerkenwell reveals that the Mayor plans to charge up to £2,800 per month for 'affordable' flats.
Boris Johnson is expected to grant consent for the development today.
The new site would contain 98 'affordable' rent apartments - with the report suggesting tenants could be charged £1,170 per month for a one bedroom flat, up to £1,690 for a two bedroom and up to £2,800 per month for a four bedroom family home.
The Guardian estimates that a family living in one of the four bedroom flats would need an income of £100,000 to make it affordable.
