Today, we’re announcing work to unblock more projects, including one in London that will include almost 4,000 homes, two primary schools, a health centre, local businesses and a new riverside park.
We’ve made it mandatory for local areas to plan and build the homes people need.
Our determination to back the builders, not the blockers, is already making a difference; planning applications are expected to rise by almost 160% because businesses recognise this government is serious about getting Britain building.
We’re cutting through red tape to build 1.5 million high quality and well-designed homes across Britain.
For millions, the housing market feels less like a ladder to help them get ahead in life, and more like a hamster wheel of struggling to stay in the same place.
