Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has promised he would not allow new homes to be built without providing infrastructure such as GPs and schools.
Earlier this week, Sir Keir said he would “bulldoze” through planning rules in order to build 1.5 million homes.
Housing Minister Rachel Maclean said Labour had failed to build enough homes in places where they are in power such as London and Wales.
On Tuesday, Sir Keir used his speech to Labour’s annual conference to promise to create the “next generation of new towns” near English cities.
Speaking to BBC Three Counties Radio, Sir Keir said he acknowledged people’s worries, adding: "What they are saying to us… is first, they only know about developments when the diggers turn up - there is no prior opportunity for their voice to be heard.
In addition to promising to build more houses, Sir Keir reiterated his party’s pledge to introduce a licensing scheme in England for people renting out their properties for short-term holiday stays.
