Labour has pledged to build 1.5 million homes over its first five years in power.
Housing has not been this expensive in England and Wales for well over a century .
Planning reforms can only achieve so much no matter how wide-ranging they are.
Most new housing in the UK is built by a handful of large housebuilders.
Labour is pledging the biggest increase in social housebuilding in a generation.
It aims to change Right to Buy legislation to make it easier for councils to buy or build social housing with the money they make from the sales.
A spokesperson for the Home Builders Federation described the idea of land banking as a “myth”.
There are downsides to all of the standard housing delivery ideas: changes to the planning system only do so much, social housing costs money and private developers need to make a profit.
Others have suggested that a single-minded focus on building 1.5 m homes over the next five years is not the right approach to solving the housing crisis.
