Tory brownfield housing review branded ‘laughable’ distraction from housing crisis
Michael Gove, January 29, 2024
A TORY bid to expand housebuilding in brownfield sites is just “tinkering around the edges” of the housing crisis, builders warned today.
Levelling-up, Housing & Communities Secretary Michael Gove announced plans for every council in England to prioritise housebuilding on such land, with extra pressure set to be brought to bear on larger city councils that fail to meet housing targets.
But shadow housing secretary Angela Rayner blasted the new proposals as a “desperate and frankly laughable attempt to blame others for 14 years of Tory housing failure.”
