Housing policy

"The majority of local authorities now have local plans, but some will require reviews soon"

"Tougher sanctions will force local authorities to meet government targets. But there are loopholes"

"Tasked with ensuring a five year land supply, having a local plan in place and meeting the Housing Delivery Test, many local authorities are struggling to hit their targets"

"Maximising value for money means using housing funding flexibly to help deliver the right homes in the right places, regardless of tenure"

"The market can’t and won’t solve the growing problem of priced-out households. If subsidies are going to take the strain, they should be administered in a more flexible and targeted way"

"A housing market downturn remains low on the risk radar of many housing associations, despite their increasing focus on developing homes for market sale"
