Housebuilders face new rules 'to tackle crisis'

Those who sit on “vital land” and do not build promised homes could have their sites acquired by councils.

Housebuilders guilty of failing to make use of planning permission or who trade land “speculatively” could face a new “delayed home penalty”, and be denied planning permission in the future.

The measures aim to ensure developers do not “leave sites half-finished for years”.
