Housebuilders and councils in Britain's biggest cities are
failing to comply with affordable housing targets, and even ripping up legal
commitments to build cheaper homes. A three-month study by the Bureau of
Investigative Journalism for Society Guardian has established that 60% of the
biggest housing developments currently in the planning system are falling short
of local affordable housing targets, preventing thousands of cheaper homes
being built. The investigation reveals huge cuts to the proportion of
affordable housing in one of the largest housing projects and how none of
Birmingham's biggest housing developments meet its 35% affordable housing
target. Read more on the Guardian website.
