It's not gerrymandering. It had happened for a long time under all governments. as I said the organisation is apolitical, and takes no regard to voting intentions (how could they from a map) merely changes in demographics, and things like younger people coming into the voting age. It doesn't always favour the Conservative party, or sometimes any party, it is just a function of democracy to ensure all constituencies are as the same numerically as can be achieved. It just happens to favour them now as it did back on 2003 or whenever when the ruling Labour Government kicked it into the long grass for exactly the same reason.
Clearly if a Labour Government were in power it would be kicked into the long grass again and equally if the changes tended to show a higher chance of Labour winning seats then a Conservative Government would do the same. That's just the luck of timing I suppose.
