“A data-led approach to delivering 1.5 million homes”: Stack x LandTech
We have published a major study in collaboration with LandTech, which we will be presenting at UKREiiF: “A data-led approach to delivering 1.5m homes”
The paper looks at the current methods employed within the planning system to identify and allocate land for development. It suggests that improvements could be made to this process by more closely considering existing spatial and public opinion data.
Our contribution to the debate is drawn from a megapoll of more than 14,000 British adults conducted in February and March 2025. We wanted to explore what drives attitudes to housebuilding, and to provide actionable insight for those in the built environment trying to fully understand local opinion around potential sites for development.
The headline finding is quite simple: the sites, and potentially supportive local majorities, exist to meet this ambitious goal. How we get there is the subject of the white paper, and we’ve expanded on those findings in a series of blog posts here.
There’s good news and there’s bad news…
