Published ahead of the Spending Review, the Radix Big Tent Housing Commission calls for the reclassification of affordable housing as infrastructure

A new report – published on the day of the government’s Spending Review – sets out the biggest challenges to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s aim of delivering 1.5m homes by the end of his Parliament. 

Unblocking the Housing Ecosystem, the second report from the Radix Big Tent Housing Commission, identifies nine “blocks” to meeting the government’s aims, including ”a failure to understand the economic realities of house building and investment, the lack of skills and infrastructure, and the continuing deadening impact of some aspects of regulation and planning.”
