House Building Reforms for 1.4 Million Approved Houses

We ask the Government to introduce mandatory build-out timeframes for approved sites, apply stronger penalties at sites where there has not been progress, pass “use it or lose it” planning permissions, strengthen compulsory purchase powers, and greater support to tackle long-term empty homes.

This is for the 1.4 million houses, that according IPPR analysis, have been granted permission since 2007 but remain unbuilt. We believe communities should not be asked to release further countryside while previously approved sites remain stalled. Despite this, local authorities are being required under the NPPF to allocate additional land, including greenfield and green belt sites, to meet housing targets. We believe housing needs should be met through delivery, not increasing land supply.

Please sign the petition here.
