The government will focus on building new homes in England’s inner city areas instead of “concreting over the countryside,” Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said as the government unveiled its long-term housing plan on Monday.

Mr. Sunak said the government is on track to deliver its pledge to build a million homes before the next election, and will “build the right homes where there is the most need and where there is local support, in the heart of Britain’s great cities.”
