<p>The National Planning Policy Framework is clear that local planning authorities
should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient
to provide a minimum of five years' worth of housing against their housing requirement
set out in adopted strategic policies.</p><p>The Government wants to see homes built
faster and expects house builders to build out as soon as possible once planning permission
is granted.</p><p>Where build-out is delayed, it is for councils and developers to
work closely together to overcome any barriers. To support them, this Government is
looking at strengthening the tools available to local authorities to encourage faster
build out rates. We are considering the responses to the Planning for the Future consultation
and will publish our response.</p>
