Councils have fallen more than six years behind their own
house-building targets. Development is on average 6.2 years behind the rate of
building needed to hit targets identified as part of the government’s 10-year
plan ending in 2026. The MHCLG jointly set out annual housing targets with
local authorities up to 2026 and published these in September 2017. However,
building in 316 locations is set to fall short of housing need by 889,803 homes
over the decade. Some of these areas are
keeping pace with housing requirements but just one year in, 241 locations are
already in deficit, leaving them 9.2 years behind target on average. Read more
