The reports that Rachel Reeves’ proposed landfill tax reforms could add tens of thousands of pounds to the cost of building a new home are SERIOUSLY concerning. Industry estimates suggest the cost for inert materials like soil and rock could increase by £24,000 or more PER HOUSE as the lower rate is scrapped.

This massive tax hike on construction waste disposal will either make housing projects unviable or the costs will be passed straight onto buyers. At a time when we desperately need to build more homes, especially affordable ones, this policy risks doing the exact opposite.
