The purpose of the Review is:

    1) To examine how the supply of new homes is influenced by the nature and structure of the housebuilding industry, the business models and its supply chain, including land, materials and skills;

    2) To consider how these factors influence the delivery of new homes to achieve the Government's target (200,000 new homes per annum), meeting housebuyers' requirements and aspirations, achieving high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability as set out in the Code for Sustainable Homes, and progressing to a zero carbon standard; and

    3) To make recommendations.

The Review will make its report in Autumn 2007.
