  4. The immediate impact June 2010 – ‘The Federation believes the Government’s decision to allow councils to ignore the regional targets has resulted directly or indirectly in plans to build 84,150 homes being dropped’ September 2010 – ‘The Home Builders Federation last week claimed that plans for more than 100,000 homes have been scrapped since the letter was sent’
