HOME RUN

The nation needs new homes, urges Cornerstone Tax

Figures from the National Housing Federation show that 340,000 new homes need to be built annually to meet the current demand as the past pledges of 300,000 new homes being built each year by the mid-2020s have yet to come to fruition. A further indication of the unlikelihood of supply keeping up with demand in 2023, is the Prime Minister’s softening of this commitment – introduced in 2017 by then-chancellor Phillip Hammond – from ‘mandatory’ to ‘advisory’ to build this level of new housing. According to Group Chairman of Cornerstone Tax, David Hannah, the lack of housing supply is the result of two decades of failed pledges from previous governments.

Down The Drain

Housebuilders face a costly hurdle over sustainable drainage

Housebuilders have described new rules forcing developers in England to adopt sustainable drainage systems to prevent flooding as ‘ill thought out’. The government has announced it will amend the flood and management act to make sustainable systems, referred to as SuDs, mandatory on all new housing developments by 2024. “It will have a real impact on the industry, particularly for the smaller developer,” argues National Federation of Builders, NFB, housing and policy head Rico Wojtulewicz.
