01 CONTEXT THE HOUSING CRISIS

Housing standards is a document of minimum requirements for quality of living which are advisory, outlined as: “attractive, spacious, safe and green and which help to shape sustainable neighbourhoods with distinct and positive identities.“ The housing standards are a useful guideline to ensure the UK quality of living does not fall below a certain standard, so people with lower incomes can live comfortably.

Conclusion Demand for homes far outweighs supply of new homes, and is unsustainable in our country’s population growth.
