It comes as Michael Gove is expected to meet Tory MPs amid the threat of a backbench rebellion.
An amendment signed by 47 Tory MPs would ban government-calculated housing targets from influencing planning applications.
One of the rebels, former minister Damian Green, said central targets "cannot recognise the different pressures in different parts of the country"., he added that the system needed to "incentivise developers to build once they have received permission". Writing on Twitter, he said abandoning targets was not the right response to "inappropriate development" that had "poisoned the debate" over housing."We need to recognise the fundamental inter-generational unfairness we will be worsening and perpetuating," he added.A government source said Monday's vote could be delayed, citing a congested parliamentary timetable due to votes on last week's Autumn Statement.
