The challenge of delivering new housing
According to recent figures from the Home Builders Federation, a total of 293,127 new homes were granted planning permission in 2016. This was the highest figure for new approvals in ten years.

However, as the Federation themselves point out, the number of permissions granted is usually not reflected in the number of homes being completed.
