Spending Review and Autumn Statement 2015

Commenting on the UK Government’s Spending Review and Autumn Statement 2015, Chris Endsor, Chief Executive of Miller Homes, said: “We are pleased that housing remains a key priority for the Chancellor and we welcome the measures announced today which continue to support the aspirations of those seeking to achieve home ownership.

“Creating additional means by which people can realise these dreams, such as the Starter Homes initiative and Help to Buy Shared Ownership scheme, is important, however having a robust planning system which supports the supply side efficiently to meet this demand is critical.  We therefore applaud the announcement today that there will be further reforms to the planning system and increased availability of more land for housing.”
