We could have population of 65 million by 2025 • The number of households has risen by 30 per cent since 1971. Most of this increase is because more people live alone – 7 million (12% in 2009) • New single person households account for 70% of the increased demand for housing – why? Due to people leaving home, marrying later, getting divorce and living longer • The government target is to build 240,000 new houses every year by 2016, with 60% being built on a brownfield site.
