Nearly all UK councils now say their need for affordable
homes is either ‘severe’ or ‘moderate’. Lack of investment in genuinely
affordable housing alongside deregulation of planning is reducing the ability
for local authorities to secure the homes the nation needs. A report by APSE
(Association for Public Service Excellence) – written and researched by the
TCPA – finds that UK councils are becoming increasingly unable to meet demands
for affordable housing. Overall, 98% of respondents describe their need as
either ‘severe’ or ‘moderate’ with only 1% claiming that their need is not
substantial. Download the report from the APSE website.
