The UK government’s ambition is to build 300,000 new homes a year, and one million by the end of this parliament. But there are continued concerns among the public about housing affordability across the country, particularly when we begin to see the impact of COVID-19 on employment and income. So if we need to get on and build more affordable housing, why should we also be talking more about the types of homes we should be building?

In this episode, host Evie John, from PwC’s housing team, is joined by Lord Gavin Barwell, a strategic adviser to PwC, who was a former minister of state for housing and James Bailey, a Director in PwC’s Real Assets team who leads our work across the residential market. They discuss how different policy priorities need to be balanced, from quality and safety to net zero and placemaking; and how the Government, builders and developers can come together to deliver the next generation of housing.
