He believed that communities should be able to prevent large housing targets being imposed on areas that were often located in the most beautiful parts of the countryside, to better meet the housing needs of local communities.<\/p>\n<p>That said, he confirmed that the present plan of building 300,000 new houses by the mid-2020s would not be amended.<\/p>\n<p>One of the counties affected by housing policy is Cornwall. In Falmouth, the application for a development of 25 affordable houses has been approved, even though Constantine Parish Council said that housing need had been &#8216;artificially inflated&#8217; to justify the application and that the village was unable to support more homes.<\/p>\n<p>The estimated housing need was based on 54 households on the housing waiting list who had a local connection to Constantine, of whom 49 currently lived in the parish. The parish council said the housing waiting list often included &#8216;individual requests for housing in multiple parishes on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornwallhousing.org.uk\/find-a-home\/homechoice-housing-register\/\">Homechoice<\/a> register&#8217;.
