Apologies for this but in this article you are making so many mistakes, and if you are shadow housing secretary I feel a duty for you to have the facts before doing something silly.
If people want a change maybe breaking up communities is the way forward... we aren't building them on the side of the himalayas we will be adding on to current settlement as we need access and utilties. Where we have built and sold them to people who want to live there for many years. Look at how improved Preston is now.
Pretty much every borough is going to have to review, only about 20% of boroughs can demonstrate a 5yr land supply. London is going through their London plan now that will dictate the sub-boroughs of their Local but Development plan
And trust me although the words have changed its going to have little difference to what we had previously regards Greenbelt. It will only be approved if its being allocated or the council cannot demonstrate a 5yr Land Supply so your LPAs probably want to get one started as fast as possible.
The Act is definitely plan led, and brownfield first, but there is very little brownfield around and viable.
It will be viable for SME builders to do as they have lower costs, but. But we have little available land tell me if you see one.
For the redensification its not viable as you need a sizable site and you have to evict them not easy.
Office for Place: didn't even know these existed they did very little in there time anyway: waste of money
Already in law - conservation area.
Shame this is going to undo all these steps forward, Why they are saying they are grossly under prepared - its already done
You can keep denying it but you are either in NIMBY denial or you are under duress from from the pop, because you right the same wishy washy arguments,,, "cookie cutter houses" - we do more varition on our sites now compared to those 70-80s estate that had two choices left semi or right... its just people have change windows, extended, converted whatever over time they have become unique.

@MarkFos32617741 @TaxLandNotMan LVT the land value can be artificially lowered. S106 has a review mechanism that can check the viability appraisal and profit post dev.
@LordLucasCD @russellcurtis Hi @LordLucasCD
Colour me surprised your Conservative & actually want homes built. But if you are sincere let me run through things with you: 1) Follow @shortthought and read this thread: 2) Force councils to review their LDPs annually - not decades
@LordLucasCD @russellcurtis @shortthought 3) If like the GMSPF we have waited since 2014 (how long worked on it) to be released after 12m force LAs to do interim LDP review annually until GMSPF. 4) Stop northern towns from planning a "Town Centre Office Led Regen"- thinking they are the next silicone valley in Tameside.
@LordLucasCD @russellcurtis @shortthought 5) Stop town centre protecting "retail" conservation LAs only allow retail - which nobody rents anymore. Consolidation not Conservation - choose the prettiest 25% of you Town Centre then regen the rest into resi. 6) Adopt the LDS - SME Small Sites Scheme -placenorthwest.co.uk/wp-content/upl…
