Government has announced an ‘emergency’ approach to tackle #Section106 Affordable Housing market challenges... … following sustained efforts by our team to increase awareness and understanding of the challenges within the S106 AH market, and the need for intervention.

Important reminders of the positive social & economic footprint of home building👇 In 2024/25, new homes in England & Wales delivered... 🔸£47 billion worth of economic activity 🔸£1.3bn for community infrastructure 🔸 £600m of funding for schools 🔸 £10 billion in Affordable Housing #NewHomesWeek

Earlier this morning, our Executive Director David O'Leary spoke at the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee. A move from leasehold to commonhold needs to be supported by mortgage lenders, insurers and conveyancers. This must be a priority for Government

Home building is becoming increasingly unviable across many parts of England and Wales. Rising policy, taxation & regulatory pressures mean build costs have risen by on average £76,000 per home since 2020. At the same time, demand-side constraints and ongoing barriers are compounding the challenge

Concerns over infrastructure pressures are often used to block new planning applications… yet an estimated £9 billion in payments made by home builders to support infrastructure remains unspent by councils in England and Wales. It doesn’t add up.

Last year, home builders provided around £1.3 billion to support community infrastructure… From national developers to regional builders, the industry plays a valuable role in the places people live and work. #NewHomesWeek #HomeBuilding

HBF has been actively engaging with the Welsh Government on the support the home building industry needs to succeed, as noted by Jayne Bryant MS, Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, this week.

Two years of Biodiversity Net Gain… what’s working, and what isn’t? As we approach two years since the introduction of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), HBF is seeking views on how the policy is working in practice across the home building sector.

Rising taxes, new levies and excessive policy costs are making investment in new housing in the capital hard to justify. Our recent Housing Pipeline report has found that London saw the biggest drop in units approved during Q3 2025, down 49% on last quarter and 72% compared to Q3 2024.

Trump accused House Minority Leader Jeffries, D-NY., of inciting the most recent assassination attempt against him, further escalating his feud with the top Democrat.

In a crisis, you act fast. But Fianna Fail and Fine Gael keep delaying regulations on short-term lets. Because the housing crisis is not a crisis for landlords.

I set the scene… delivered the line… handed him the moment on a silver platter… and he dropped it like it was a group project he didn’t sign up for. now I gotta go process this betrayal like it’s 1995 all over again.

Demanding constitutional oversight, Governor Sherrill insists on closing the facility: "It must be transparent about who is being held at that facility. I'll keep pressing DHS to do better, to abide by our nation's Constitution, and to close Delaney Hall down for good."

Another "𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯" on the welfare bill, another set of targets missed. At this point, Labour’s plan to reduce spending looks less like a strategy and more like a wish list. #PMQs #UK #HouseOfCommons #Parliament #Politics #KeirStarmer #KemiBadenoch
