As crises go, the housing shortage is one of the most persistent. The current UK government target is for 300,000 new homes a year in England, and the sector is more than keen to play its part—however, it faces its own unique set of challenges along the way.

Capsticks sponsored a recent Inside Housing roundtable, where a panel of experts discussed if this target can be met and how best to ensure the work delivers for communities. Inside Housing have produced a follow-up article from this session, quoting our own legal experts Chimi Shakohoxha and Suzanne Smith.
