We urge the Government to review their target to build 1.5 million homes. We want the review to focus on affordable houses and social housing over private sales. We urge the Government to mandate that developments can only be approved with guaranteed investment for essential infrastructure.

Government to commit to 654,000+ new homes a Year in England for 10 Years
Government to establish a mission to deliver 654,000+ new homes a year in England, scaling capacity (skills and materials), fund infrastructure and genuinely affordable homes.
Launch a review into improving social housing provision for families
Launch a review into reforming social housing so families with young children aren’t trapped in unsafe, overcrowded flats. The review should look into creating fairer allocation rules, offering suitable downsizing options for older tenants, and ensuring families have access to a safe, healthy home.
Review and reform the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
The CIL was designed to ensure that new developments contribute to local infrastructure, but we believe the law unfairly impacts average homeowners who face significant charges for modest home improvements. This can place an undue financial burden on families and individuals.
New regulations mandatory landlord checks and invest in more social housing
Reform tenancy law help prevent fraud and abuse by rogue landlords. Introduce mandatory landlord checks and reinvest in social housing to protect tenants from exploitation and prevent avoidable homelessness.
Increase Government funding for children’s homes & the young people living there
We would like the government to increase funding for children’s homes to ensure that the young people have the support they need to pay for things such as their food shopping, clothes, toiletries, phone bill, and anything else they need.
