What Will Happen If We Don’t Build 250,000 New Homes A Year?

Nearly ten years ago Kate Barker's review of housing supply in England estimated that we need to build 250,000 homes a year to slow house price inflation to the European average and meet housing need.  In not a single one of the years since then has this target been met, and the cumulative shortfall has now passed a million. This week Shelter published 'Solutions for the Housing Shortage' which analyses the reasons why supply continues to lag and sets out proposals to boost output to the number needed.  Download a copy of the report from the Shelter website.
