Sophie Horgan, director of Midlands-based Horgan Homes, described it as a “sticking plaster” Budget which did not address the key issues holding back the UK economy.
Ms Horgan said: “I’m afraid any confidence in this Budget and this chancellor was fatally undermined when Rachel Reeves performed her screeching U-turn over tax rises two weeks ago.
“It was clear evidence that this is a Chancellor who puts political expediency ahead of economic integrity.
“As a result, today’s Budget is a sticking plaster of a statement which will do nothing to restore faith in this Chancellor.”
She said that small housing sites and SME constructors are the backbone of housebuilding in this country.
Ms Horgan said: “I wanted to see clear action to prioritise the small housing sites and SME constructors who are the backbone of housebuilding in this country.
“Things like cutting red tape and affordable housing obligations around small sites of 20 homes or fewer would have made a huge difference.
“We have heard plenty of talk from this Government about getting Britain building, but that simply won’t happen unless the army of SME builders is supported to create the homes we know people want.”
Horgan Homes is an SME housebuilder known for its lateral living schemes and single-storey homes.
