The Government has consulted on its new Industrial Strategy. This is a wide-ranging strategy, that includes areas such as technological innovation and skills. The Housing Forum has responded to the consultation on behalf of our members as we believe that the delivery of new housing is a direct driver of economic growth, whilst the provision of quality homes across the country provides the workforce with the home they need to live a healthy and productive life.

There is an urgent need to address the skills shortage that affect many parts of the construction sector, holding back delivery of new homes and industry and delivering the much-needed economic growth.

We also urge the government to prioritise funding for local authorities in particular so that planning services can become more efficient in order to support the Government’s plans for growth across all industries and in deliver new homes.
