Government Pushes for 1.5M Homes, Despite Challenges
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Housing Secretary Steve Reed acknowledges the need for increased home building to meet the governments one point five million new homes target. Despite current forecasts suggesting a miss, Reed expresses confidence in new planning reforms, including construction on former green belt land, to achieve the goal by 2029. The plan involves making it easier to approve homes near public transport and substantial changes like the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. The Home Builders Federation urges more support for first-time buyers, while the government aims for a sustainable building rate rather than a short-term boost.
