Tag #Housebuilding Targets

What are the government's specific housing targets, and how will they address regional affordability disparities?

The UK government plans to build 370,000 new homes annually, prioritizing previously developed land ("brownfield") and lower-quality green belt areas ("grey belt") to address housing affordability issues. Higher targets are set for London, the South East, and East of England, reflecting higher housing costs in these areas. The plan aims to increase housing supply while ensuring necessary infrastructure and affordable housing are included in developments.
