Delighted to see such strong coverage of our joint call with @sfha_hq, @CIHScotland & @jrf_uk ahead of the @ScotParl Budget vote. I hope @ScotGovFM will think again about the proposed cuts & that MSPs will carefully consider the housing needs of their constituents as they vote.

Very encouraging to hear the focus on planning & home building while at @ScottishLabour's Business Forum today. I look forward to engaging with @AnasSarwar & his team on the detail of their proposals so that Scotland can maximise the social & economic benefits of home building

Scotland’s chronic housing crisis sits at a critical juncture: 3 LAs with declared housing emergencies & a bleak budget for the upcoming year.

Homes for Scotland@H_F_S

The new report we are publishing today shows a quarter of all households in Scotland are in at least one form of housing need, demonstrating that this is a more complex and far wider issue than currently being accounted for tinyurl.com/yeusecpx

Key @H_F_S training calls include the need to ensure understanding of the Local Development Plan process, the appropriate use of planning conditions, development economics/site viability and the appeals process (including costs for both applicant and local authority).

Homes for Scotland@H_F_S

We've welcomed proposals for mandatory training on planning for elected officials. This is a very technical area so training is vital to ensure decisions are consistent, robust & based on policy. #deliveringmore #homesforscotland t.ly/TOaY1

With housing fundamental to the social wellbeing of everyone living in Scotland, from their physical and mental health to education, learning and so much more, I am delighted to be supporting this year’s #ScottishHousingDay which is focusing on careers across the sector.

Scotland simply cannot afford, either socially or economically, to let these trends continue but issues with the new National Planning Framework 4 unfortunately point to such an outcome.

Homes for Scotland@H_F_S

We are shocked by today's planning app stats for housing: major apps down 46% & decision times for local apps up c40%. In the context of the shortfall of the c114k homes accumulated since 2008, things are becoming worse bit.ly/3OdDlyi

I recently visited a Passivhaus site myself to find out more about this standard. Whilst excellent, it does come with some challenging constraints & scalability remains far off which goes to your point on impeding #s @Willie_Rennie. #deliveringmore #homesforscotland #NetZeroWeek

Willie Rennie@willie_rennie

Last week I visited Donaldson Timber Engineering to talk to them about their ideas on a Scottish equivalent to the passivhaus standard. They made a compelling case for a building standard which will improve the sustainability of houses being built...

I am delighted that @H_F_S is showcasing some of the great work that is being undertaken across the home building sector by our members during #NetZeroWeek and to restate our commitment to achieve what is practicable at the earliest opportunity. #deliveringmore #homesforscotland

Homes for Scotland@H_F_S

It’s #NetZeroWeek & Scotland’s new build homes are leading the way, both in terms of housing efficiency & environmental sustainability. We’re delighted to be sharing member exemplars across the week. #deliveringmore #energyefficient #sustainable #homesforscotland

Having a safe & secure home is a fundamental human need, yet it is one that many people in Scotland do not have. There is a critical need for a standalone housing Outcome if progress is to be made in providing enough homes for the people of Scotland.

Homes for Scotland@H_F_S

We're calling on @scotgov to introduce a new National Outcome for housing if progress is to be made in providing enough homes for the people of Scotland bit.ly/3qDBlYf #deliveringmore #homesforscotland #forceforgood

The appointment of @HumzaYousaf as new First Minister presents the perfect opportunity for review.

Today's housing stats reveal the continuing drop in the number of new homes being started across sectors, demonstrating the need to review the regulatory & other issues blocking development so that we can be #deliveringmore #homesforscotland bit.ly/42PbWZU

With a plethora of Christmas adverts currently highlighting a variety of social issues, now, more than ever, we should reflect on the vital role housing plays in our society: bit.ly/3VmL1jn #deliveringmore #homesforscotland

NPF4 must be clear, deliverable, viable, consistent & ambitious. While it gets some things right, we’ve highlighted the following to @SP_LocalGov: ✅Supports tackling the climate change ✅Supports tackling the nature crisis ❌Does not address the housing crisis.

Homes for Scotland@H_F_S

The @SP_LocalGov continues its evidence sessions on #NPF4 with @ThomasCArthur this morning. Read about the areas of concern we raised last week - these have to be addressed if we are to tackle Scotland’s housing shortfall of c100k homes🏘️bit.ly/3OG1L3v #deliveringmore

.@Zoopla's new Consumer Insights report is a fascinating read, esp in the context of net zero. With day-to-day living costs continuing to rise, it illustrates the importance of new homes with respect to both the energy & climate crises #deliveringmore bit.ly/3xWxWUn
