In October 2018, an independent review of house building barriers was published, with recommendations that a new set of planning rules be introduced for sites with more than 1,500 homes to increase the rate of build out.

Led by Sir Oliver Letwin, the review was originally announced in the Autumn Budget 2017 and set up by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).

The final report highlighted that in 2017, 217,000 new homes were delivered, and that if government is to achieve their stated aim of 300,000 new home deliveries per year, certain recommended steps should be taken.

In the interim report, Letwin had said there was ‘no evidence’ that major developers were carrying out landbanking, and instead pointed to the delivery of too many identical properties on large sites, and the limits to how quickly they can be sold, being the ‘fundamental reason’ behind the slow build out rate.

The recommendations in the final report include the following:

* New planning rules: These would require developers to offer a range of different property types of large sites (those with more than 1,500 homes).
* A new National Expert Committee: To advise councils on different property types that would be suitable on large sites, and to handle appeals to the event of disputes between developers and local authorities.
* Incentives for housebuilders: These would encourage the changing of plans for existing sites so that a variety of property types can be offered immediately.
* More powers for councils: Enabling councils to set up development companies, and have the power to purchase undeveloped land for 10 times its existing use value, making it more viable for the provision of affordable housing.
