Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, over what period her Department plans to require housing supply of 370,000 houses per year.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 12 December 2024 includes a new Standard Method for assessing housing need that is aligned to our Plan for Change milestone of building 1.5 million new safe and decent homes in England by the end of this Parliament. The new Standard Method sets a local housing need for England of 370,408. Detail on how individual local planning authorities should plan to meet this updated housing need, including transitional arrangements, is set out in the Framework.
