      Maybe the red tape was there for a reason? The only thing stopping new homes being built is profit. I mean how can we expect the price to keep increasing if there’s a adequate supply to the demand, or at least less inadequate. C’mon people, can’t be doing anything to the landlord class.

      How’s this for an idea. Instead of encouraging private enterprise to do it by relaxing rules and protections the government actually pays for the houses to be built and sells them at cost plus admin and then uses that money to build more houses which they sell to build more houses and so on. Is it really that difficult?

      Was this red tape the same red tape that allowed new builds to get the bad rep for quality and longevity they have now?

      Constant claims of building more homes yet we are at the same figures we have had for the past decade. Last year was a 7 year low for completions.

      There are currently well over 700,000 homes sitting empty in England (and more than a million across the UK if second homes, holiday lets, and investment properties are included) at a time of severe housing need. These empty homes are a blend of long-term vacant properties, second homes, holiday homes, and buy-to-leave investment properties. The government should be ramping up pressure on these people to rent out or sell these homes. That will be far quicker than building a few thousand homes some of which will likely sit empty for the above reasons.

      We’re in a housing emergency and emergency measures need to be taken to get these empty homes back on the rental/sales market.

      I’ve read that they’ve changed the longevity of new build houses by law, used to be guaranteed 150 years standing they’ve changed it to 100 years now. 
      So we’re building loads of crap houses and charging an extortionate rate for them as well!

      People complaining both ways. We need more houses urgently is the constant cry, yet everyone seems to have a problem with it when we do it. You know it’s true.

      Does the red tape being cut mean that loads of houses are going to be built on our local asbestos landfill which has just been highlighted for 900 new homes?

      That’s great, more luxury flats/houses that I have a chance of securing with my poverty wages.

      So by slashing the red tape, that means building homes in areas that are at breaking point road and traffic wise, ruining the countryside and animal habitats, also decreasing the value of all our houses in process whilst also allowing shoddy quality for these homes.

      Well fucking done

      I swear we are all just hanging onto some distant memory at this point that the uk was a great and smart country.

      Great job, just so they can be bought up by private equity and rented back to us at great profits. Can we tax the 1% already, they’re doing everything but what needs to be done.

      Town and country planning act was and is a cancer for our country.

      Frankly the UK’s planning process and been a bureaucratic nightmare for decades, literally no one disagreed with that until Labour started fixing the problems.
