Only 2.48% of homes built in 2016\/7 were designated for social rent \u2013 down from 3.29% of all homes built the year previously.<\/p>\n<p>All forms of affordable housing \u2013 including affordable homes for purchase through various initiatives \u2013 fell to 19% of new homes in 2016\/17, the second-lowest figure ever recorded.<\/p>\n<p>The LGA is calling on the Government to drop proposed amendments to the NPPF to guarantee homes for social rent remain part of planning policy and to supply a long-term strategy to deliver genuinely affordable housing in the upcoming Social Housing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/javid-launches-social-housing-green-paper\/35106\/\">Green Paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The LGA, which represents 370 councils across England and Wales, will be publishing a new report \u201cHousing, Planning and Homelessness\u201d at its Annual Conference in Birmingham tomorrow (3 July) to set out how the Government can use its forthcoming Social Housing Green Paper to empower councils to trigger the renaissance in council housebuilding needed to fix our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/fix-broken-housing-market\/32154\/\">broken housing market<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This includes a call for the Government to ensure all councils can borrow to build to deliver new homes, keep 100% of receipts of homes sold under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/right-to-buy-costing-millions\/33435\/\">Right to Buy<\/a> and adapt discounts locally, and powers to ensure all developments contribute to the provision of affordable housing.<\/p>\n<p>Cllr Judith Blake, LGA Housing spokesman, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCouncils are determined to ensure their residents have access to affordable housing. By removing social rent from the definition of affordable housing, the Government has effectively removed the tool to help that happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s essential that homes of all types and tenure are available so that local communities can deliver a balance of housing to meet a mix of needs. Homes for social rent can prevent people from spiralling into social housing, and alongside starter homes and new builds, play an important role in a thriving housing market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country needs to be building approximately 300,000 homes a year of all types and tenure to address our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/university-of-wolverhampton-homes-new-centre-to-tackle-the-uks-housing-shortage\/41541\/\">housing shortage<\/a>. It\u2019s essential that the Government ensure social rent is included in the definition of affordable housing in the upcoming changes to planning policy, but more widely, the imminent Social Housing Green Paper is a real opportunity to give councils the tools they need to trigger the renaissance in council housebuilding we desperately need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll councils should be able to borrow to build, not just a select few, and the Government should take steps to allow this as soon as possible. In addition, councils should be able to keep 100 per cent of the receipts of the homes that are sold and adapt discounts locally to ensure a steady supply of genuinely affordable homes in our area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTackling our national housing shortage is rightly a priority for the Government \u2013 it\u2019s essential they put in place measures that would help, rather than hinder this, at the local level.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The definition of \u201caffordable housing\u201d must incorporate homes for social rent in upcoming government changes to planning policy to combat the low numbers of social rented homes across the country, the Local Government Association says today (2 July)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"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":[666,276,572,571,656,570],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-43162","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-affordable-housing","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-housebuilding","10":"tag-housing-crisis","11":"tag-housing","12":"tag-social-housing"},"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>LGA calls for action to tackle \u2018historic low\u2019 social housing figures<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The definition of \u201caffordable housing\u201d must incorporate homes for social rent in upcoming government changes to planning policy\" \/>\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\/lga-calls-for-action-to-tackle-social-housing\/43162\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LGA calls for action to tackle \u2018historic low\u2019 social housing figures\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The definition of \u201caffordable housing\u201d must incorporate homes for social rent in upcoming government changes to planning policy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/lga-calls-for-action-to-tackle-social-housing\/43162\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
