Local authorities across Derbyshire will need to increase the number of homes being built to meet Labour’s new targets.

New figures show where most homes will need to be built across Derbyshire amid Labour housing drive – including Chesterfield, Derbyshire Dales, High Peak and Amber Valley

New data has highlighted the areas across Derbyshire where the most homes will need to be built under Labour’s housing drive.

Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, has proposed new top-down housing targets for local councils - which will see hundreds more homes being built across Derbyshire.

Before the general election, Labour had pledged to deliver 1.5million new homes over the next five years.

Ms Rayner told MPs that her planned new method for creating housing targets for different local authorities would include an ‘uplift where house prices are most out of step with local incomes'.

The Daily Mail have produced a map, showing how many more homes will be built in each council area across England.

The full list of figures for Derbyshire can be found below - while Derby and South Derbyshire are not included.
