'Fewer new homes' warning by Redrow boss

Fewer homes will soon be built in Wales because of increasing red tape and regulation, according to the boss of one of the biggest companies in Wales.

Redrow chairman Steve Morgan said the "crazy" introduction of sprinklers next year and social housing demands mean it is not viable to build in some areas.

The Welsh government said planning has been streamlined and councils are responsible for affordable housing.
