Andy, your housing targets a) were set by the local authorities & b) are nowhere near what is needed with no process in place to address unmet needs. You can't wear the fact you don't have any planning powers like a badge of honour & take all the credit for planning decisions

Does anyone know where I can find the data for this poll @YouGov did on engagement with the local plan process in 2020 for @LifeAtSOCIAL? I can't find it on either of their websites. social.co.uk/news/local-pla…
I’ve been added to a 156 person WhatsApp group of parents for my daughter’s cricket club, and someone has just asked “has everyone got their kit yet?”
Homelessness is a housing affordability problem. The price of housing is set by supply and demand in the market. When we don’t have enough homes, vacancy rates fall, rents go up, and more people become homeless. It’s a supply problem!

Levels of house building in the green belt are 80% lower than they would otherwise be, increasing house prices in those areas by 20% and across England as a whole by 4%. Source here 👇 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

In my column for @thetimes this week, I write about how the @churchofengland can recover a sense of social mission by building a new generation of beautiful, charitable almshouses. Highly recommend looking at the great work @AlmshouseAssoc are doing thetimes.co.uk/article/how-th…

Sorry what moment of the day (so far): According to the Resolution Foundation the most common living arrangement for an adult aged between 18 and 34 in 1997 was being in a couple with children, it is now living with parents. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
We’re always looking for new projects to promote through the planning system and unlock value for landowners. And, as a land promoter, we do that at our cost and risk - if we don’t succeed, it doesn’t cost the landowner anything. Do you know of a site that might be suitable?
Slightly obsessed with this tiny bit of greenbelt holding the line and stopping the chaotic and disastrous merging of Leeds and Bradford.
43% of all sporting green space to golf, and 18% of all green space allocated to golf does not strike me as optimal green space allocation in a city of 10M where perhaps 1% of ppl play golf regularly - from this excellent long read on London' "golfbelt" golfbelt.russellcurtis.co.uk
@Paul_SLG Just to point out these are the longest currently running examinations. Not the longest that have ever run including ones which may now have concluded. Lichfield's research, tho 5 years old, found an average time of 18 months and it's probably gone up since then.
Find out what I do when I’m not mucking about on social media!

Andy, your housing targets a) were set by the local authorities & b) are nowhere near what is needed with no process in place to address unmet needs. You can't wear the fact you don't have any planning powers like a badge of honour & take all the credit for planning decisions
Our record on housing speaks for itself👇🏻 🎯 The only region ahead of housing targets 🤝🏻 30% affordability rate smashed 🌳 Brownfield first to protect the greenbelt Now thanks to new powers & cash I’ve got from Government, we can triple the number of social homes being built 🏠

Does anyone know where I can find the data for this poll @YouGov did on engagement with the local plan process in 2020 for @LifeAtSOCIAL? I can't find it on either of their websites. social.co.uk/news/local-pla…
@Paul_SLG Love that I've been blocked by the countryside charity. Love that twitter shows a sneak peak of what I'm missing.
Homelessness is a housing affordability problem. The price of housing is set by supply and demand in the market. When we don’t have enough homes, vacancy rates fall, rents go up, and more people become homeless. It’s a supply problem!
The YIMBY argument is that we have 600,000 homeless people despite having 16M vacant homes because of a lack of supply. The ratio above suggests supply isn't the immediate barrier to housing people. The immediate barrier to housing people is a lack of political will to act.
@Paul_SLG Add a 20% green belt premium to council tax and see how popular the green belt really is.
A really useful summary of all Labour's planning proposals so far: samuelstafford.blogspot.com/2024/04/labour…
If you don’t build enough new luxury condos in San Francisco then rich people will pay two million dollars for renovated apartments in old buildings in once-affordable neighborhoods like North of the Panhandle, like this one: zillow.com/homedetails/55…
@gcr_47 That isn't a problem. If there aren't enough luxury condos in SF, rich people will move to Seattle instead. The rich will be fine.

Hi Paul We have been working closely with the Church for many years and they are supportive of the almshouses. There are a number of church and almshouse projects being considered now but not enough! CofE could make a generational impact by using land to build #almshouses
@VitaliJames @thetimes @churchofengland @AlmshouseAssoc Fascinating read - it’s something I’d never considered before.
In my column for @thetimes this week, I write about how the @churchofengland can recover a sense of social mission by building a new generation of beautiful, charitable almshouses. Highly recommend looking at the great work @AlmshouseAssoc are doing thetimes.co.uk/article/how-th…
