Almost 400,000 homes in England have been given planning
permission but have yet to be built, research suggests. The Local Government Association (LGA) study
found that little progress had been made in reducing the backlog over the past
year. The LGA called on the government to remove restrictions on how much
councils could spend on housing. Councils said there were still thousands of
"shovel-ready" sites where work had not begun because of a cap on the
amount local authorities could invest in new housing. Read more on the LGA
website.
