Boris Johnson faces massive Tory rebellion over radical plans to ‘concrete over’ rural Britain to build more homes
More algorithm mayhem on this occasion its about houses rather than exams but it still threatens to impact on the quality of life of a significant number of rural dwellers.
Leaked analysis of a proposed new national housing formula reveals Tory-run local authorities outside London overall should deliver more than 30,600 extra houses every year.
In contrast, Labour-run town halls would be asked to deliver 1,500 fewer homes each year.
Areas such as Oxford, Epsom and Ewell, Sevenoaks and the Isle of Wight could all see a surge in house building, while Salford, Newcastle and Liverpool would see a large decrease.
The warning comes as around 30 Tory MPs are said to have joined a WhatsApp group aimed at opposing the plans, reports The Sunday Times.
