Local councils across England are expressing serious doubts about the government's ambitious plan to build 1.5 million new homes, deeming it unrealistic and unattainable due to concerns around infrastructure and land availability.
Councils from all major parties, including Labour, Conservatives, and Liberal Democrats, are united in their apprehension over the government's housing targets, with many highlighting serious gaps in the planning and construction capacity to meet these goals.
The government’s ambitious housebuilding initiative is facing resistance as local authorities cite unsustainable infrastructure and capacity issues, jeopardizing the feasibility of meeting the proposed housing targets.
Broxtowe council described the housing proposal as 'very challenging, if not impossible,' reflecting a consensus among local authorities that current targets do not align with local infrastructure realities.
