The government’s new package of support to get housebuilding going won’t work in the short or medium term and is a missed opportunity to help SME builders, writes David Lohfink
C G Fry is just the sort of housebuilder that the government purports to support: a regional SME that builds beautiful places of high-quality design.

It is a missed golden opportunity to be bold and legislate for a real change in the way that the issue is currently dealt with via (mostly) very complicated and expensive nature-based solutions.
