Government Housing Policy Will Not Meet Objectives

The National Policy for the Built Environment Committee asserts the importance of delivering a better built environment and criticises current government policy as unlikely to meet demand for either the quantity or quality of houses we need. The Committee is concerned about the quality of new developments, and about the risk of housing delivery being prioritised at the expense of other elements of the built environment.  Their observations and recommendations are included in the Committee’s report “Building better places” which can be downloaded from the Parliament website.
