The research predicts that despite proposed changes to the planning system to increase private development,
00:06
there will be an underdelivery of at least 388,000 homes against the new target.
00:11
That includes a shortfall of more than 10,000 homes in Tyne and Wear alone,
00:15
with metropolitan areas expected to be the worst performers.
00:19
At 49% below the country's target, Tyne and Wear have the highest projected shortfall outside of Greater London.
00:25
In July, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government announced that local councils
00:29
would be given new mandatory housing targets in the hope of tackling a supply crisis.
00:34
These proposals would see the 12 local authorities across the North East and Tayes Valley area
00:38
being told to deliver a combined 12,182 new homes per year, almost double the current targets.
00:44
I spoke with locals about their thoughts on this.
00:47
I guess the North is more underfunded.
00:51
For what I like to think, I don't know, I'm not really from England,
00:54
so from what I can see, a lot of money goes to the South,
00:59
because a lot of people with money go to the South.
01:02
I'm speaking here without knowing, but I think that could be it.
01:07
I guess where money goes and people go, housing goes.
01:12
I think that the North East is really like the government kind of ignores northern parts of the country,
01:18
because obviously big cities like London are really overpopulated,
01:22
so they're going to need more houses.
01:24
But I feel like, especially if you look up roadworks and stuff like this,
01:27
the North East is not...
01:28
It's severely neglected.
01:29
Yeah, thank you, I've forgotten what's neglected.
01:32
For myself, when me and my family, my dad and my two siblings,
01:37
we had to wait six months, give or take, for the council to issue us a house.
01:43
The North East has so many brown spaces because of deindustrialisation,
01:46
so you can repurpose so much brown space from old factories and stuff.
01:51
I think there's a lot of housing opportunity here.
01:53
Honestly, it's a beautiful part of the world,
01:55
so I guess the question is why are they falling short more than any other part of the country?
01:58
I guess, yeah, I would imagine it's an economic thing.
