Housing officials raise major doubts about a government pledge to build 300,000 homes by 2031
An internal report by the Department of Housing has sounded the alarm over a gradual decline in planning permissions.
Officials warn that annual housing completions could fall back to current levels as soon as 2028.
The government aims to build 50,000 homes a year between now and 2031, with around 36,000 homes completed last year.
