An emergency meeting has been called over the new changes
More than 1,700 new homes will have to be built on the Wirral every year according to new proposed housing targets from the government. This is an increase of 1,000 more homes than previously planned. The new Labour government published earlier this week new housing targets for councils across the country as well as proposed new housing policy as part of its manifesto pledges to deliver 1.5m more homes .
This could see a review of green belt boundaries if the government sticks to its 1,755 homes target for the borough. The government also wants to update its policy about stepping in where councils fail to deliver new homes calling for “future intervention action to be swift and proportionate” and “justified by the local circumstances.” In 2019, the then-Conservative government threatened to intervene over Wirral’s failure to deliver a Local Plan.
