A shake-up of planning rules means councils have been given mandatory targets to deliver a total of 370,000 homes a year in England. Sir Keir Starmer said local plans to reach targets were the starting point, but that the Government would "absolutely" push development through if the plans do not work.
Sir Keir said he wanted to "get the balance right with nature and the environment" but that "a human being wanting to have a house" has to be top priority.
