New Study Shows Support for New Homes

The British public are far more supportive of new housing developments in their area than commonly thought, according to a new study. Today's Public Attitudes to Housing survey, published by the National Housing and Planning Advisory Unit (NHPAU), finds that more than three quarters of people would support more homes being built in their area, provided that local services such as GP surgeries and schools do not suffer. Good quality housing design is also important to people with 73 per cent saying they would support the building of more homes if well designed and in keeping with their local area.
