More than 423,000 homes have been given planning
permission but are still waiting to be built, according to new research
released by the Local Government Association. The study, commissioned by the
LGA and carried out by industry experts Glenigan, shows the backlog has grown
by almost 16% in the last year. To the LGA, the research reinforces the need
for new powers allowing councils to act on uncompleted schemes. Over 2015/16 the
total number of unimplemented planning permissions in England and Wales was
365,146 – rising to 423,544 in 2016/17. The figures also show that developers
are taking longer to build new homes. Read more on 24housing.
