Reduce the home building targets to 200,000 houses per year.

Summary

Lower national homebuilding targets to an achievable level for local councils, builders and infrastructure providers, rather than what we think are arbitrary numbers. We think changes in housing targets need to be in small, workable increments. Many local councils are very aware of the need for social and affordable housing. We think current target are not achievable under the current planning system. We think the present targets give developers too much control of housing provision but fail to deliver the houses needed. We think we do not have the labour force nor the material provision to deliver the housing targets put forward in the new NPPF. We think the present targets will not deliver the number of houses and leave local councils without any meaningful control.
