The current challenge in UK housing
The UK is experiencing a severe housing crisis characterized by a shortage of affordable homes, rising rents, and a significant gap between the demand for housing and the supply. This is impacting many, including young people, families, and individuals struggling to afford rent or buy a home.
A lack of social housing and other affordable options means many people are forced into inadequate or overcrowded living situations.
The government's target of building 300,000 homes annually is being criticized as unrealistic, with industry experts citing policy changes and planning challenges as barriers to delivery.
The government is under pressure to provide adequate funding for social housing and other infrastructure projects, while Local Authorities are financially stretched.
Often, the barrier to fruition of development projects is planning regulations and other legislative delays. While there are also a number of vacant buildings or brownfield sites that would benefit from acceleration in development to tenured accommodation.
The industry requires innovative thinking and enhanced collaboration. Leigh at totalleigh housing is well placed to help developers, established Registered Providers, Local Authorities and other stakeholders to realise their projects at pace. Circumnavigating legal obligations & planning issues, bringing people and organisations together in enabling homes.
