There is almost universal agreement that we need to build more houses.

The benefits have been clearly articulated, building homes is one of the biggest levers that can be pulled to deliver broader economic growth (a key pledge by all of the major political parties).

It satisfies an urgently required need (currently assessed by the government (and opposition) for 300,000 new homes per year and it provides a fundamental requirement of any attempt to “level up” across the country, which again is referenced a lot by this government and the various opposition parties.
