The new targets could see 35,100 new homes built on the Wirral over 20 years unless the new Labour government changes its mind
Wirral Council’s Labour leader said his party 'fully supports' government housebuilding plans despite raising concerns over controversial proposals to force the local authority to build 1,755 homes a year. The new target was announced as part of a manifesto pledge to build 1.5m new homes across the country. Draft proposals put forward by the government have seen housing targets for the borough increase by more than 1,000.
The motion by the council’s Labour group says Cllr Stuart will write to Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government Angela Rayner and the Minister of State for Housing, Planning, and Building Safety Matthew Pennycook “explaining that Wirral Council remains steadfast in its commitment to the unanimous cross-party support for its emerging brownfield-only local plan.” This will argue the Local Plan “encompasses the Government’s national house-building ambitions.
