Housing Crisis

Councils in England which delay or block housing developments for no good reason will be named and shamed. In extreme cases, the councils could be stripped of their planning powers - The housing secretary, Michael Gove. However, Labour believes this decision will send house building into crisis and will result in fewer homes.
