The Labour Party pledged in its manifesto to build 1.5m new homes over the next Parliament if it got into power. But does the UK have the necessary skills, capacity and infrastructure to achieve this target?
In September's episode of the 21CC podcast, three experts gather to answer this question and identify the challenges standing in the way of its delivery.
The speakers are:
- Tim Balcon, CEO of the Construction Industry Training Board
- Ben Denton, chief executive at housebuilder L&G Affordable Homes
- Jonathan Werran, chief executive at independent think tank Localis
The discussion tackles some of the burning issues concerning large housebuilding targets in a short period of time, including:
- Will house build quality be affected by rushed construction?
- Could this large construction project negatively impact the other UK target to become net zero by 2050?
- What about NIMBYism?
