520 _aExamines the UK government challenge to the construction industry to build homes for £60 000. Seven sites owned by English Partnerships will provide 1 000 homes, 30% of which will need to be the £60 000 homes. Points out that as land costs and infrastructure are excluded it is relatively easy to make this target as these areas make up around two-thirds of the per-unit costs of most residential developments. Some commentators believe the competition will raise standards of design but there are some concerns including the possibility that developers may be able to pay more for land which could increase prices.
