Councils will be ordered to fire up housebuilding under a radical overhaul of planning rules to create 1.5 million homes by the end of this Parliament. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner announced the new plans on Tuesday to increase the number of homes being built in England.

Targets set by the previous government are for 305,223 homes to be built every year. That will be stepped-up to 371,541 a year under the new proposals.

Ms Rayner said people were often not "nimby (not in my back yard) for nimby reasons" - and what mattered was getting proper infrastructure in place such as roads and GP surgeries to reassure locals about new homes.

She told ITV's This Morning: "There isn't a family that hasn't got a housing need that isn't met in the UK at the moment so people are not like nimby for nimby reasons. They're saying 'well hang on a minute our roads are already congested, we can't get a GP appointment and now you want to build more houses here?" so infrastructure is critical.

"And that's why our rules will make sure that we get that infrastructure as well, because I've heard what people have said on that 'we need these homes, but Ang we need the infrastructure in place'."
