Call for housing review submissions

The Callcutt review into housing delivery was launched with a call for industry submissions by Friday 20th of April.

John Callcutt was commissioned by the government to look into “how the supply of new homes is influenced by the nature and structure of the house building industry, its business models and its supply chains”. He is expected to report back in the autumn.

As a former head of English Partnerships and chief executive of Crest Nicolson, John Callcutt has the experience needed to answer the questions set by the review, such as: “Does the prevailing business model of the house building industry constrain how it responds to demands?”

John Callcutt said: “This review will make recommendations on how we can improve the delivery of new homes to reach the government’s targets while also achieving high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability.”

The government aims to encourage private sector house building levels up to 200,000 new homes a year by 2016. This is around 40,000 more than current levels.
