Will UK House builders Actually Build more Houses...?
The UK government recently announced changes to planning laws to 'turbocharge' the building of 1.5M new homes over the next five years.
The gist of these changes are that central government is going to have more power to over-ride local council plans where local councils fail to plan to meet nationally appointed local targets.
One slight carrot is that local councils are allowed to use 'grey belt' land, or land on the green belt which has previously been built on.
