House builders are demanding action from the Scottish Government to tackle a shortfall of 110,000 homes.
Jane Wood, the chief executive of industry body Homes for Scotland, insisted it was “harder than ever” to build new properties, as she said the country needs a policy environment which “supports development rather than frustrating it”.
Decisions on applications for major housing developments take on average 39 weeks, Homes for Scotland said, despite a target of within 16 weeks.
