It is claimed the move could delay delivery of new homes.

The government's concrete levy plans may have been blocked again.

It's understood it's going back to the drawing board, after a backlash from industry

A 10 percent levy was placed on concrete products in Budget 23, to help pay for the Mica redress scheme.
