Yorkshire Housing’s annual build rate has fallen as it looks to scale back development over the next few years due to “economic pressures.”

The 18,000-home housing association completed 502 homes in 2022/23, according to its annual financial statement. This is down on the 700 completions recorded for the previous year. The association said it was slightly behind its development targets due to “slippage in the development programme, particularly where labour shortages have delayed completions”.
