Sunak confirms new housing to be focused in cities as Gove announces reforms

The Prime Minister said the bulk of Britain’s new homes will be built in major cities as he vowed not to “concrete over the countryside”.

Ahead of planning reforms due to be announced by Housing Secretary Michael Gove, Rishi Sunak has confirmed that the Conservative Westminster Government is on course to meet its target of building one million homes between 2019-24.

Mr Sunak, who is due to visit the West Midlands, and Mr Gove are expected to provide more details on Monday about plans to prioritise house building in inner city areas.
