🏠I wrote to @ChrisPincher on how we can use brownfield developments to deliver affordable homes with local community support.
🏷️Many in #Wycombe have a genuine concern their children will be priced out of their area.
🤝Heart of the problem is an adversarial planning system.

@ChrisPincher 🏗️Less than half of approved brownfield developments are completed within 6 years.
📉When developments are completed, the complexities of the current system mean that affordable housing contributions aren’t always met.
➡️We need to find a better way forward.

@ChrisPincher We must
👉Speed up the approval process which imposes a high burden on all parties.
👉Incentivise developers who have approval for developments but sit on brownfield sites for years.
👉Ensure new developments work for local communities by directing contributions directly to them.

@ChrisPincher 🏘️With housing comes security, identity & space to flourish.
👍We need the public to have the ability to say no, but the incentives to say yes.
