Superb summary of current housebuilding stasis by @Paul_SLG - surely no other sector is actively obstructed from meeting customer needs to such an extent? Also, there’s nothing Govt can do to deliver even one additional home before a GE, so they’re just appealing to NIMBYs now…

Nothing, nowhere, all at once: what exactly is the Government’s policy on house building? A fantastic guest post by @Paul_SLG 👇 housingview.co.uk/2023/07/17/not…

.@Paul_SLG Development of the 48 London Plan Opportunity Areas is fundamentally dependent on large-scale infrastructure investment before the question of planning consent. Why are they still empty after 15 years. They will not £millions like Vauxhall Nine Elms Batterseas!
Paul Smith@Paul_SLG

Beware the looming land shortage. You can’t build new homes without having land with planning permission - an increasingly rare commodity. And further falls are already baked in. If you think things are bad now, wait until you see what’s coming... housingtoday.co.uk/news/housebuil…

.@londonyimby There seems to be no incentive for house builders to produce more housing in London & certainly not enough to reduce house prices. Reality seems to trump wishful thinking/political belief that accelerating supply can be achieved to bring down prices.

Competition & Markets Authority express ‘fundamental concerns’ over the operation of new homes market. CMA discovers output is regulated by builders to maintain prices. Shock horror. It’s a free market for heavens sake. Why would they sell at a loss? gov.uk/government/new…

@Paul_SLG @Paul_SLG When, where have you seen evidence of this in London? Housebuilders also limit the release to avoid reducing pricesLack of sites

@robzowski Thanks - circulated with comments. @DLUHC just can't write policy that matches the lived reality of London. Brownfield is the only show in town; short-let losses already producing large net losses against housing target will be legitimised -makesnonsenseofdeliverys

In every London borough, the average rent for a one-bedroom home on the private market is at least one third of median pre-tax pay in London. In Westminster & Kensington and Chelsea, it's *more than 70%*. Rent affordability by London borough: bit.ly/3SDUovV

At #COP28, rich countries promised to help poorer countries recover from climate disasters with a new fund. Only weeks later, they are arguing among themselves instead of getting on with the work! Will you tell them to get on with it? act.350.org/sign/promises_…
