House builders have hit back at claims by local
authorities that they are ‘land-banking’ and building-out schemes more slowly
than in the past. Industry body the Home Builders Federation reacted angrily to
research published by the Local Government Association which showed that
475,647 homes in England had been given planning permission but had yet to be
built. The research also indicated that developers are taking longer to
complete work on site. It now takes 32 months, on average, from sites receiving
planning permission to building work being completed, 12 months longer than in
2007/8 according to the LGA. Read more on the Planning Portal.
