The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) has published its annual UK Housing Review.

The review, which was unveiled at a House of Lords reception today, brings together housing statistics from across the UK and provides in-depth analysis from experts on issues, supported by more than 200 charts and tables.

The latest edition of the review includes a new detailed assessment of housing need in England carried out by Glen Bramley, professor of urban studies at Heriot-Watt University.

The conclusion of Bramley’s chapter said: “It would be reasonable to plan on the basis of achieving a total supply of at least 300,000 new homes annually, including 60-70,000 socially rented units. The total should rise to around 350,000 per annum from 2030, of which 90,000 should be for social rent.”
