Housebuilding on Public Land
That this Assembly recognises the critical role of social and affordable housing in reducing housing need, supporting communities and strengthening the economy; notes the Department for Communities’ commitment to deliver at least 33,000 social homes under the Housing Supply Strategy; acknowledges the need to secure suitable land for housebuilding to meet this goal; recognises the potential of utilising public land to increase the supply of social and affordable housing; and calls on the Minister for Communities to establish a Public Land Agency to maximise the use of public land for the delivery of sustainable and affordable housing to help meet the Housing Supply Strategy targets.
