Build 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s
Last updated 4 years ago
Conservative Party Manifesto 2019, p.31That is why we will continue our progress towards our target of 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s.
Our verdict
- The target of building 300,000 new homes each year has existed since at least 2017, and this is a promise to continue making progress towards that goal.
- The Queen’s Speech in December 2019 committed to “an ambitious Planning White Paper” as a step towards fulfilling this pledge, and a March 2020 policy paper restated that promise.
- The government remains committed to this target and has stated its intention to publish a white paper containing details of how it might be attained, so this policy is ‘in progress’.
There's always room for debate
We’re serious about providing clear, up-to-date, non-partisan information. We focus on being consistent and fair in how we reach our verdicts, and always explain our reasoning. But there is always room for debate. So if you see it differently, we’d love you to tell us why. Or even better, submit an edit.
