Putting the right homes in the right places:
Where an LPA can openly show a supply of undelivered housing or land that exceeds a six year horizon to cover local population growth, there shall be no rights of appeal on the basis of land supply.
Measuring the pipeline and delivery of homes:
Where new homes aren’t registered with the LPA at a rate in accordance with plans set out and agreed with that LPA, then DCLG shall have the right to declare the developers / land speculators as non-performing.
