National house building rates

Will the Scottish Government reconsider the national ambition to increase the rate of new house building to 35,000 a year by the middle of the next decade?

We fully recognise that the economic downturn will impact on the rate of new housing supply in the short to medium term. However, the long-term need to increase housing supply remains and achieving this is an ambition which the Scottish Government shares with CoSLA. Implementation of the new housing and planning delivery framework is fundamental to support a recovery in house-building, and for realising growth in housing supply to meet Scotland's long-term housing requirements and improve the affordability, stability and fairness of Scotland's housing system.
