[John Lewis has defended a plan
to build homes to rent as the group files
planning applications for projects
in west and south-east London,
and prepares to manage tenancies
at three sites built by other developers.
The John Lewis Partnership, which owns
Waitrose supermarkets and a string of
department stores, has pledged to build
and rent out 10,000 homes as part of
bold plans to generate 40% of profits from
outside retail
by 2030.]
