The growing trend towards under-occupation is
exacerbating Britain’s housing crisis, according to new research from the
Intergenerational Foundation. Building on previous studies from IF which have
examined the issue of under-occupation, this report uses census data to show
that nearly 1 million extra households were classed as under-occupying between
2001 and 2011 in England. In effect, this means that almost a fifth of all the
extra space that was added to England’s housing stock throughout this period
has been wasted, as the additional capacity it created was cancelled-out by the
increasingly inefficient way in which our existing housing stock is being used.
