Depends a bit on the difficulty level, but the houses need something desirable near. A palace is a great thing to have near your houses, temples and shrines work too, and a festival square near houses will also boost desirability. Don't build granaries, hunting lodges, fire patrol etc near houses.

Hi Dean, we normally address missions by the name of the city you are playing. The mission you are referring to is Thinis, and I think Peter gives the right answer. You need to place your village palace and the temples (when they become available) near your houses and they will develop. You can always right click on a house to see what is blocking its development, in this case it will be desirability.
BTW In the next mission, Perwadjyt, you may need to lower the difficulty level to Easy or Normal, depending whether you are playing with or without the Cleo extension.
