Nimby’s love this one simple trick
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The deputy Labour leader has said the “foundations of our past” are the inspiration for the proposals, pointing to her party’s record in government following the Second World War, when towns like Stevenage and Basildon were built.
Speaking at the UK Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), a property industry conference, Ms Rayner is expected to say Labour will back “developers who deliver” if it wins power.
Ms Rayner, who is also the shadow housing secretary, will tell the conference a Labour government would set high standards on design, quality, affordable homes, green spaces and infrastructure.
She will meanwhile signal Labour is willing to work with “responsible” developers who can deliver affordable homes alongside green spaces, and the schools and transport links residents need.
Ahead of the speech, Ms Rayner said: “Labour’s new towns are just one part of our ambitious house-building agenda which will see swathes of good quality, affordable houses built in the national interest.
“Developers who deliver on their obligations to build high quality, well designed and sustainable affordable housing, with green spaces and transport links and schools and GPs surgeries nearby, will experience a new dawn under Labour.
The original article contains 510 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 62%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
All developers are ‘responsible’ on the drawing board - not so much when actually building and paying out for infrastructure and what have you they won’t get much of a return on.
I’d like to see some definite action on empty properties. Seize them if necessary. Nobody needs multiple homes. Also we need to stop sales to foreign buyers so that they can boost their portfolio.
Local homes for local people.
