Support for first time buyers is non-existent and the proposed planning reforms to speed up development have yet to be materialise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are now added fears that proposed reforms to the landfill tax could add even more cost to building homes, thereby hampering attempts to grow the housing market. Any additional cost on delivering new homes would be a backwards step when we need more, not fewer, homes to be built.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve Reed possesses some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevereedmp.co.uk\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">experience working with housing<\/a>, having held the brief for shadow housing in 2021, and having acted as leader of Lambeth Council between 2006-2012, working on several housing initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the industry will be watching Reed\u2019s work with interest.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking to reporters, Steve Reed has re-iterated the government&#8217;s commitment to the 1.5m UK housing target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":155155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[276,571],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-155152","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-housing-crisis"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Steve Reed \u201cabsolutely committed\u201d to 1.5m UK housing target<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Speaking to reporters, Steve Reed has re-iterated the government&#039;s commitment to the 1.5m UK housing target\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/steve-reed-absolutely-committed-1-5m-uk-housing-target\/155152\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Steve Reed \u201cabsolutely committed\u201d to 1.5m UK housing target\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Speaking to reporters, Steve Reed has re-iterated the government&#039;s commitment to the 1.5m UK housing target\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/steve-reed-absolutely-committed-1-5m-uk-housing-target\/155152\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
