Long-term planning is essential for housing growth

摘要

So there is no long-term strategic plan to solve the housing crisis, nor will there be one, according to Brandon Lewis MP, minister for housing and planning, in his recent interview for The Sunday Times. The pace of change in the housing environment has accelerated once again since the May elections. The detail of this autumn's Housing Bill is eagerly anticipated, with its raft of initiatives including the finer detail on starter homes and their interrelationship with affordable housing and the Welfare Reform and Work Bill already on the move through parliament.
