David Cameron has revealed councils will be legally
obliged to guarantee delivery of Starter Homes – and actively promote them to
first-time buyers – under provisions contained within the Housing &
Planning Bill. As he flagged up some of the key proposals to achieve the
Government’s housing ambitions, ahead of the Bill’s publication, the Prime
Minister also warned councils that they must produce their own Local Plan by 2017
– or the Government will impose one on them. The Prime Minister said it would
be produced in consultation with local people, but he wanted to make it
“crystal clear” that he expects all councils to create and deliver these plans.
It’s all part of making sure they play their part in delivering the
Government’s target of one million new homes by 2020.
