EMH Group built 60% of its targeted homes in 2021/22 as it battled planning delays and materials shortages, its latest accounts show.

The east Midlands-based housing association completed 343 homes in the year but was originally aiming for 550.

It said: “This shortfall is largely due to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic and Ukrainian crisis as materials and resource become harder to secure coupled with delays on planning being awarded therefore delaying start on site.”
