“For productivity to grow and for our ability as a country to grow and to innovate, we need people to do high-productivity jobs and in the modern, knowledge-focussed economy that the UK mostly has, that means people being located near each other in places where there is an existing knowledge economy.”reduce pressure on the most expensive housing markets
The Government’s last major push to solve the crisis came in 2020, when then-Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick proposed liberalising the planning system to make it quicker and easier to build new homes in every part of England.

We deliberately didn’t make it one of our five missions because it underpins so much else.
