Zoning Laws Have Seriously Depressed U.K. New Home Construction

A zoning law adopted in 1947 in the U.K. has dramatically reduced the number of new homes built there since then. 

The U.K. is at the bottom of the heap in new housing construction in Europe as a result and this have been gradually and less gradually getting worse since the new zoning law was adopted in 1947. Only Ireland has fared comparably poorly. See also here discussing the same report.
