Mr Gove announced an "intention" to work with City Hall on a joint taskforce to boost the delivery of housing in the capital. But he told the Mayor that he was reserving the right to use powers at his disposal to instruct changes to the London Plan where it is seen to be "choking housing supply".
The Government announced plans to boost house-building focused on three cities, London, Cambridge and Leeds, having watered down its targets in the face of opposition from Tory MPs.
In the capital, it was seeking to unleash a "housebuilding boom".
The housing department said this included more support to deliver up to 65,000 homes in a new cross-borough East London Development Project, including Thamesmead Waterfront and Beckton Riverside, with up to 27,000 homes, two new town centres and better east to west transport connections.
It said £1 billion was being "released" to City Hall to boost affordable housing and estate regeneration.
