Construction Industry News – Early June 2025
Estimated reading time 1 minute
The number of new homes given planning approval in England during the first quarter of 2025 was 39,170 – barely a third the number required to hit the government’s target of 1.5 million new homes by 2030.
Estimates suggest that England is currently building around 200,000 new homes a year, meaning that as we approach the anniversary of the 2024 general election, we are already 100,000 behind the run rate needed to hit the 1.5 million target. https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/planning-permissions-for-new-homes-sink-to-new-low
