Competition and Markets Authority 2023
CPRE believes that still more needs to be done to compel developers to develop their land banked sites in a more timely fashion. According to the Competition and Markets Authority (November 2023) the 11 largest house builders own or control an estimated 1.17 million land plots with planning permission across more than 5,800 sites in Britain that have not been built out. The government should insist that these land banked sites are built out before any new sites are allocated.
