💨 Abstract

The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has announced plans to ease mortgage rules to help first-time buyers enter the property market. This is part of a broader strategy to boost housing affordability and build 1.5 million new homes over the current parliament. The government aims to achieve this through the use of compulsory purchase orders and the creation of new towns. To expedite the planning process, the government is bringing in 300 additional junior planning officers.
