Recent data on planning consent for new homes in England indicates a significant decrease in future housing supply. According to estimates from Glenigan and data from the HBF, only 222,000 new homes received full planning consent in the twelve months leading up to Q1 2024. This is the first time since the 2008-09 financial crisis that the number of new homes gaining consent has dropped below the current level of completions. With around 10% of consents typically not being realized during development, these new figures suggest that further decreases in supply are on the horizon. Our latest forecast predicts that housing completions could potentially plummet to just 160,000 by 2024/25. More information can be found at:
