 Hundreds of thousands of homes are being built in the South East |
A report on house-building in the South East has said the region needs extra government cash of nearly �400m. The study, by the South East England Regional Assembly, said it was trying to meet a target of building 11,200 affordable homes a year.
It said it would need 29% more than its current three-year budget of �1.37bn.
Assembly chairman, Councillor Keith Mitchell, said: "If the region is to remain successful we need more public investment in affordable housing."
House-building plans for the region were set out in the South East Plan, a 20-year vision.
It covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Sussex, and affects eight million people.
