Key details"

"Barnet"
[Yes, that is absolutely true. Well known for the 'Five Bloggers'.]

* "Drivers Jonas Deloitte is a trading name of Deloitte LLP, the official professional services provider to the London 2012 games."

Its web site reports:
"DJD's latest 'London Residential Crane Survey' has recorded a sharp decline in the number of new housing developments starting in the capital."

"... Anthony Duggan, head of research, Drivers Jonas Deloitte, said:
"While schemes started in the more buoyant 2010/11 period are now progressing through to delivery, meaning current completion levels are looking more healthy, this latest research shows a clear decline in the number of new schemes starting. While it is too early to call this slowdown in new activity a clear trend, it does reflect the unease in the wider London residential market.

Our data shows that developers are focussing their activity on the more resilient Inner London areas, which is indicative of rising caution with regard to the health of domestic buyers, and also the continued confidence in the prime markets and overseas buyers."
