Councils can play a greater role in getting the country
building, an independent review has found. In their report to the government,
Natalie Elphicke and Councillor Keith House argue for councils to be put at the
heart of providing more homes across all tenures in their local area. Under
their proposals, councils would become “housing delivery enablers” – assessing
the housing need of their area, working with businesses, housing associations
and others to provide the homes their residents want and need to build strong
and sustainable communities. In particular, the report urges councils to
consider how they can actively support smaller and start-up housing businesses
locally – whether with land, finance or training. Download the report from the
CLG website.
