Angela Rayner is cracking down on developers who fail to deliver on promised homes under her 'radical' housing overhaul.
The Deputy Prime Minister plans to give councils powers to seize land from unsatisfactory housebuilders who leave vital development sites unfinished.
The new proposals would mean for the first time developers will have to commit to delivery time frames before they get planning permission.
They will also have to submit annual reports showing their progress to councils to keep them on track.
Housebuilders who secure planning permissions 'simply to trade land speculatively' could face penalties worth thousands per unbuilt home, the Government said.
