Government focus has moved towards an expectation of delivery and that all parties will find routes and partnerships to increase housing supply.
Homes England has been launched with announcements of increased activity on land transactions and a larger capital budget.
The housing association sector has strengthened financial capacity to invest in new homes. In November 2017, the ONS reported that house building activity had reached its highest level for a decade.
