Government demands 'immediate, mandatory' housing plans from councils to build 1.5m homes

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ing-plans-from-councils-to-build-1-5m-homes.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Wednesday, December 11th 2024 at 23:41 GMT by MSN}

The government is today demanding "immediate, mandatory" housing targets from councils as part of its plans to build 1.5 million houses by the next general election.

The UK government has issued a directive to local councils, demanding immediate and mandatory housing plans to facilitate the construction of 1.5 million homes. This initiative, led by Housing Secretary Michael Gove, aims to address the housing crisis by setting binding targets for local authorities. The government's strategy includes streamlining planning processes, potentially overriding local opposition to development, and ensuring that councils identify and develop suitable land for housing. This move comes in response to previous failures in meeting housing targets, with the government now prepared to intervene directly if necessary, including the possibility of granting planning permissions centrally if local councils do not comply. The urgency of this mandate is underscored by the government's commitment to significantly increase housing supply to meet demand, reduce homelessness, and make homeownership more accessible.
