Article Abstract:
The UK government's discussion paper Urbanisation in England: Projections 1991-2016 aims to provide a focus for long-term UK housing developments in the UK where 4.4 million extra homes are required by the year 2016. Its contents are criticised for numerous reasons. The paper's question over whether to lengthen development planning timescales has been discussed on numerous occasions to no avail. Its aim of developing 60% new residential developments on reused land are unachievable, says the Town and Country Planning Association. Other aspects of the paper are discussed.

Article Abstract:
The new UK government has as yet made no firm decisions about how it will deal with the forecast rise in the number of households of 4.4 million. Environment Secretary John Prescott has stated that the growth in the number of households could play a key role in boosting regeneration, and is aware that this expansion has implications in many other areas, including water and energy consumption and transport infrastructure. The government's policy could become clearer following a consultation exercise on public involvement in planning.

Article Abstract:
Approximately 4.4 million more households will exist in the United Kingdom by the year 2016 which means that a lot of new development work will be available to the construction industry over the next few years. The new housing should be affordable and this issue is being treated as an important political issue during the run up to the next general election.
