Summary

In the July 2007 Green Paper on Housing 'Homes for the Future: more affordable, more sustainable', the Government announced a new drive to provide the homes urgently needed for this and future generations. This included plans for:

more homes - backed by more ambitious building targets
to achieve a rate of 240,000 new homes per year by 2016, increased investment and new ways of using land for development;
more social housing - ensuring that a decent, affordable home is available for everyone;
building homes more quickly - including unblocking the planning system and
releasing land for development; and
greener homes.

The Housing and Regeneration Act will implement provisions which:

help deliver our housing supply ambitions;
empower tenants; and
ensure affordable housing provision works and more effectively and efficiently
