The Prime Minister and Chancellor have set out plans to accelerate housing building over the next five years – making clear that this ‘one nation’ government is squarely on the side of working people who want to get on and enjoy the benefits of home ownership.
The plans, which will form part of the Housing Bill to be introduced this autumn, include steps to build discounted homes for first time buyers on all reasonable sized developments, unlock public land for hundreds of thousands of new homes and back small builders with planning changes.
Plus, in a direct message to opponents of reform, the Prime Minister and Chancellor have made clear that they are determined to reward hard work across society and help people into their own homes – and will press ahead with plans to give housing association tenants the chance to buy their own home, benefitting from a discount of up to 70 per cent when they do so.
