Affordable Social Housing called now not council houses ?
Posher???

 

[bobk]

I dont think it will be a big worry .
They will probably be looking to put most of them in the
North Midlands and have a list of brexiteer landowners
they will be wanting to displace.

NIMBY ,

I do understand. Your disagreement is JC may acquire your land for say agricultural value and then the state build on it, denying you the uplift in value conveyed by society granting a permission to build. I am just musing as to who should benefit from societies desire to build and to grant a permission to build.

Interesting. And as Cmate says migh be a vote winner with generation rent.

that's what clement Attlee did in 1945, compulsory purchase at AG value for council housing

Greed is good ,

If capitalist greed is so good, why do you farm in socialist France ?

 

[Hindsight]

Presumably socialist weather is better than capitalists? Oh, and the wine is possibly an attraction too.

 

[le bon paysan]

If 4 hc out back of a holiday home is farming!

Urban labour slums or tower blocks again is it?

 

[Henarar]

If they want to build lots of houses but don't want to pay much for land for building then do away with building restrictions then all the land would only be worth ag vale anyway. Its in the would be governments hands or are they just after making the money themselves the greedy buggers

Socialism ain’t what it used to be...

Weather has been sh!t for the last two months

 

[Rowland]

You can ,but mot when the public services do it

Yes it would take twice (or more) to build them the Materials would be expensive as when put out for quotes it would go to an unexpectedly more expensive company but for some cock and bull reason ( back hander of some description ) . Mountains of pointless paper work pushed around Various council departments for no reason whatsoever all adding to the costs .

 

[Henarar]

Anywhere
Houses would be cheap as chips
Its only down to supply and demand

Biggest problem is lack of new affordable housing around here. Developers gain permission for houses with a minimum of 20% affordable homes then argue the toss with planners and have this reduced to 10%, citing increased costs. The problem is the greed of these developers , why not just pay less for the land, knowing full well that they have to build the approved% of affordable homes. Also plenty of brown field sites, however the developers deem these as unattractive for new development.
And if you think the Duchy of Cornwall and prince Charles are conçerned about affordable homes think again,
What's the average house price in Poundbury?

That’s the problem. The private sector doesn’t have the capacity to provide affordable homes. Successive governments have had decades to sort out Thatcher’s blunder, they have left it to piecemeal private development which cannot deliver the required homes. Corbyn is right on this, it is time for action.
