Lords Planning Minister, Baroness Kay Andrews said: "There is a real need to build more homes if we are to meet the housing needs of future generations and these statistics show that many of these could go on re-used sites.

"In some areas it may be necessary to bring forward other sites if we are to meet local demand, but there are other areas where local authorities could be doing more with the land that is already available. By making the most of suitable brownfield land, local authorities can continue to protect the countryside whilst ensuring there are more homes available for first time buyers," added Baroness Kay Andrews.
