MPs have expressed disappoint at the latest official housebuilding figures showing a dip in development despite the Government\u2019s aim to build 1.5m homes by 2029.<\/p>\n
Official data shows annual housing supply in England hit\u00a0208,600\u00a0net additional dwellings in the year to March 2025, a\u00a06% decrease\u00a0on 2023\/2024.<\/p>\n
This resulted from\u00a0190,600\u00a0new build homes,\u00a017,710\u00a0gains from change of use between non-domestic and residential,\u00a03,850\u00a0from conversions between houses and flats and\u00a01,080\u00a0other gains (caravans, house boats, etc), offset by\u00a04,630\u00a0demolitions.<\/p>\n
Florence Eshalomi, chair of the\u00a0Housing, Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Committee, said: \u201cThe statistics show that only 208,600 new homes were delivered in the year to March 2025, continuing over a decade of failure to build anything like the homes we need.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Government must be focused on getting to grips with this crisis and bring forward the delayed Long-Term Housing Strategy, which has been promised for over a year now. It must set out how we can ramp up the pace of housing delivery with practical reforms to build 1.5 million homes during this Parliament.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the scale of the crisis, I hope the Chancellor will use next week\u2019s Budget to boost the housing sector, support councils and the New Towns programme, and help deliver the billions of pounds of public and private investment needed to meet the Government\u2019s housing ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
