Labour is considering taxing developers to fund more social housing and reviewing green belt building
Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves will make housebuilding central to their speeches at Labour’s conference in Liverpool Speaking to the BBC from Liverpool on the first day of Labour Party conference, Sir Keir said his “aspiration” would be to build between 250,000 and 300,000 homes a year.
Other measures under consideration include giving local authorities greater powers for compulsory land purchases and building on some green belt areas. She said that the UK had a reputation as a “nation of nimbys”, and suggested towns and villages could be made to feel new developments were in their interest if they were offered cheaper bills through the construction of onshore wind farms or energy pylons.
“We also need to look again at what is designated green and brown. No one has got anything to fear from this,” she continued.
