Angela Rayner says the UK government is sticking to its plans to deliver 1.5 million homes. The comments come as an overhaul of planning laws is taking shape, aimed at speeding up development and reducing delays in the housing pipeline.
The reform is described as part of a broader push that begins two years into a five-year parliamentary term, with the government framing the changes as a way to maintain momentum toward its housing target. Both outlets report Rayner’s insistence that the programme remains on track, despite ongoing scrutiny of how quickly housing delivery can increase under new planning arrangements.
