Maybe the red tape was there for a reason? The only thing stopping new homes being built is profit. I mean how can we expect the price to keep increasing if there’s a adequate supply to the demand, or at least less inadequate. C’mon people, can’t be doing anything to the landlord class.
How’s this for an idea. Instead of encouraging private enterprise to do it by relaxing rules and protections the government actually pays for the houses to be built and sells them at cost plus admin and then uses that money to build more houses which they sell to build more houses and so on. Is it really that difficult?
Was this red tape the same red tape that allowed new builds to get the bad rep for quality and longevity they have now?
Constant claims of building more homes yet we are at the same figures we have had for the past decade. Last year was a 7 year low for completions.
There are currently well over 700,000 homes sitting empty in England (and more than a million across the UK if second homes, holiday lets, and investment properties are included) at a time of severe housing need. These empty homes are a blend of long-term vacant properties, second homes, holiday homes, and buy-to-leave investment properties. The government should be ramping up pressure on these people to rent out or sell these homes. That will be far quicker than building a few thousand homes some of which will likely sit empty for the above reasons.
We’re in a housing emergency and emergency measures need to be taken to get these empty homes back on the rental/sales market.
I’ve read that they’ve changed the longevity of new build houses by law, used to be guaranteed 150 years standing they’ve changed it to 100 years now.
So we’re building loads of crap houses and charging an extortionate rate for them as well!
People complaining both ways. We need more houses urgently is the constant cry, yet everyone seems to have a problem with it when we do it. You know it’s true.
Does the red tape being cut mean that loads of houses are going to be built on our local asbestos landfill which has just been highlighted for 900 new homes?
Yay a bunch more homes i will never be able to afford once im older and the rent will still be in the thousands
That’s great, more luxury flats/houses that I have a chance of securing with my poverty wages.
Reddit for years: Complains not enough houses due to nimby shit.
*Government ignores nimby shit*
Reddit: Complains.
None of you lot want to be happy do you?
Town and country planning act was and is a cancer for our country.
Frankly the UK’s planning process has been a bureaucratic nightmare for decades, literally no one disagreed with that until Labour started fixing the problems.
I think it’s good to lower the level of Nimbyism that pervades this housing market, it’s just not great that it’s not more *State Housing* being built and it’s private developers because of Thatcher.
More houses can mean lower house prices, but that’s if the selling is regulated better, even better if it’s state built, and then that the right houses are built. It’s all good to build three beds for families, but when couples can’t even buy a one or two bed to establish themselves financially, they’ll never start a family. Then you have the politicians “not knowing” why the birth rate is decreasing, when I expect full well don’t want to rock the boat with the countless corporations developing these or holding houses to have their value appreciate or renting them as secondary portfolios like Blackrock and Chinese corporations do.
To be clear, they didn’t cut any red tape.
This initiative was just to help councils work better with each other and other planning authorities.
I really doubt it actually drove even the 36k houses they actually claim. But that’s another question. This was just sending in some extra admin people to bring forward meetings and fill in forms faster.
No change to laws or policies or spending or anything concrete. And this gain will be reversed as soon as the funding runs out
Large developers like Taylor Wimpey are reporting profit margins in the region of 40%. That’s an insane margin and about twice what fossil fuel companies, the ones who pay massive shareholder dividends, report. The idea that building houses is too difficult or expensive due to regulations is complete nonsense only being peddled by their labour donating lobbyists
Are they going to be bought by companies and landlords and rented out at over 2x the cost of the mortgage though?
No point building houses without a system in place to stop people and companies buying them up to rent out.
‚Red Tape‘ usually means hard fought environmental, ecological and archaeological protections as for 1000 years before the 1970’s it was an effing free for all
Should homes come at the cost of our wildlife and environment? I’m all for sustainable development, but it appears that with BNG and DLL, it’s just a pay to play system. District Level Licensing basically allows developers to build despite the presence of protected species and habitats.
Everyone bangs on about immigration, but the sooner people realise that it’s not the ONLY problem with this country, the better.
All well and good, but not if these houses are unaffordable to the average Uk wage.
We only need more housing because we have a ridiculous amount of illegal immigrants let into the country. Stop the flow of illegals then we don’t need to build as many houses as quickly as they claim we need to now.
Interesting change considering they were asking 5000 landlords to rent their places out recently due to a certain „crisis“.
I don’t believe in coincidences btw.
Fantastic news, let’s keep it going.
We can’t bemoan the cost of building anything in this country, while fighting tooth and nail against new developments.
We need more flats, prefab flats built in lower performing areas with ground floor business units. So much of the housing crisis is focused on first time buyers, and very little is aimed at the rental sector for young people, throwing these up with state backing would massively undercut the rental market, and be great for starting families, and young people that aren’t ready to buy.
Would be nice to tell us what they’ve done to cut red tape.
„100000 new homes coming to a scalping corporate landlord near you 2029“
Yeah, great, more air and noise pollution, daily gridlock and congestion etc. in towns wthout the infrastructure to cope. More strain on schools and services. Less chance of getting an GP appt.
Building „towns“ within towns without investing where it matters (in the supporting transport infrastructure and services) dramatically reduces everyone’s quality of life.
„Built more houses though!“
How about small rise flats we can own and produced at large scale?
