Dr Gemma Burgess and Sarah Monk discuss the findings from their RICS research paper into the mechanisms available to increase housing land supply.
A recent review identified measures taken successfully in other countries (see http://bit.ly/1olnXAF). It also showed that in England and Wales many of these mechanisms are already available or in place in some form. The current research for RICS built on the review to identify case study examples where the mechanisms have successfully been used in England and Wales. This paper for the RICS Property Journal summarises key points from the research.
