Plans to boost housebuilding

The Prime Minister has today announced a major housing and planning package that will help deliver:

  • Up to 70.000 new homes, including affordable housing and opportunities for first-time buyers to get onto the housing ladder
  • 140 000 jobs and a boost to the construction sector
  • A £40bn guarantee for major infrastructure projects and £10bn for new homes

This includes a series of measures aimed at supporting businesses, developers and first-time buyers, while slashing unnecessary red tape across the planning system.

For a full list of the measures please visit the Number 10 website.
