The Government is forecast to miss its 2030 housing targets by between 123,400 and 136,100 homes amid concerns that the level of planning permissions being granted is not keeping pace, a report by Deloitte has found.

In November last year, the Government published its latest housing plan, which set a target of delivering 300,000 new homes across the country.
