Two thirds of Britons want more homes built in order to provide homes for younger people and those on lower incomes to tackle the worst housing crisis the country has seen in generations, according to a new poll. The YouGov survey, which was commissioned by the National Housing Federation, found strong support for increasing the supply of new homes after house-building last year slumped to its lowest level since the 1920s. The poll of 2,655 adults in Britain found:
* 66% agreed that there was a need to increase the supply of new properties
* 59% believe there is a housing crisis. 28% believe there isn’t.
* 48% believe the housing crisis will only get worse unless there is a significant increase in the number of new homes built.
*46% said they would support the building of new homes if it wasn’t on greenbelt land, with 36% opposed.
