Not enough houses are being built in Norfolk, according to figures released by local councils to the BBC.
The data shows the county consistently failed to reach government house-building targets each year since the beginning of this century from 2001 to 2017.
The government says Norfolk should be building 4,106 dwellings a year but the district councils' own assessments puts the figure at 3,989.
But over the whole period the county has averaged 3,600 homes, a 10% shortfall.
The leanest years were 2009 to 2015 but last year, for the first time in nine years, the county exceeded government targets by building more than 4,100 new homes.
Since 2001 more than 58,000 homes have been built in the county.

But former UKIP councillors who defected to the Conservatives have held seats.
