Labour has pledged to build 1.5 m new homes over the next parliament.

But new figures show it will be difficult to hit Labour 's target of building 300,000 homes a year.

Number of new houses approved has fallen to a level not seen since 2014 .

Builders blame drop on decision by the former government to drop housing targets.
