Labour and Tories have dynamited the job market. Greens and Reform will make it even worse Only Liberals will fix it, here is how (🧵)
The two old parties made housing unaffordable. Reform is now the home for aspirational young people. Simon has the real world experience to break the cycle of broken promises.
This is eye-opening. I knew the planning system was broken, but it is worse than even I thought. When I heard that planners had recommended Hackney councillors block the extremely popular Shoreditch Works development I asked @Michael_J_Hil to read the planners' report and look through hundreds of documents submitted by the developer. It is really bad. - Developers submitted NINE THOUSAND PAGES of paperwork, planners said it wasn't detailed enough. - Planners said it should be rejected because some flats would lack enough natural light due to shadows cast by other parts of the development. - Planners simultaneously argued there weren't enough homes, didn't provide enough office space, and it was too tall. - Developers had to comply with 42 separate Hackney policies, 75 separate London Plan policies, the Hackney Borough Site Allocations Plan, five other separate sets of standards and policy frameworks, two sets of ‘emerging’ unfinalised policies, plus all relevant national legislation and guidance. - The design review panel criticised the project because every building was of the same architectural style. Planners ignored the surveys showing huge public support for the designs. - New homes must provide outdoor space so residents have access to a green roof, but planners said that might disturb nature. (This is on an exclusively brownfield site) Councillors have an opportunity tonight to overrule the planners. I sincerely hope they do! samdumitriu.com/p/anatomy-of-a…
Liberal Democrat-led @SouthCambs is delivering where others have failed. Over 100 new council homes built in a single year (and more to come) - a record for South Cambs and delivering on our commitment to affordable housing for local people.
