BPF response to MHCLG’s consultation and working paper on speeding up build-out rates

The BPF has responded to MHCLG’s consultation and working paper on speeding up build-out rates. In our response, we highlight the key role that purpose-built rental housing can play in accelerating delivery as part of a multi-tenure approach to development. We also set out our concerns regarding the proposed Delayed Homes Penalty, which, if introduced, risks further disincentivising investment in residential development and undermining wider housing delivery.
