Labour's deputy leader will urge developers to start work on the 'next generation of new towns' in a bid to ease the country's housing crisis
Speaking in Leeds at the UK Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum , a property industry conference, Ms Rayner, who is also the shadow housing secretary, said Labour would set up an expert independent taskforce to help choose the right sites to develop. “When Rishi Sunak binned this policy, he did so because he’s too weak to stand up to his own MPs and now the public is paying the price.said she would not simply demand “more units, at any cost” and promised Labour’s “next generation of New Towns” would be “homes fit for the future” inspired by garden suburbs like Hale in Manchester, Roundhay in Leeds and the Garden City project.
Ms Rayner said: “Our local housing recovery plan will reverse the Conservatives’ damaging changes to planning, getting stalled sites moving at speed. The plans are part of Labour’s ambitious promise to build 1.4 million homes by the end of the next parliament.. After announcing the policy at the Labour conference in 2023 when asked how many town Labour would build by ITV he replied: “Certainly more than two – three or four – but we will go through a bidding process to ensure that we get the right towns in the right places but with the right infrastructure supporting them as well.
Labour has pledged to reform planning so that it is harder for local authorities to block developments, with a view to increasing the overall housing supply.
