House-building across half of England is slower than it
was before the financial crash, analysis suggests. Almost a decade on from the
2008 crisis, some 52% of councils saw fewer homes built last year than in the
year leading up to the crisis. The Federation of Master Builders said the
planning system was too "complex, difficult and costly to navigate".
The government said last year saw the largest percentage increase in new homes
in nine years. Overall, some 217,000 new homes were built in 2016-17,
two-thirds of the government target of 300,000. These include conversions of
existing buildings, as well as new homes. Read more on the BBC website.
