Building housing, particularly affordable housing, costs money.
set the tone for the week in her address to the House of Commons on Monday by accusing the Conservatives of leaving her with a £22bn shortfall in this financial year; her message was clear, if we can’t afford it, we can’t have it.
The NPPF will set out how all of this is going to happen. The NPPF is the document that expresses the government’s national planning policy to local authorities. They are then expected to come up with a local plan which sets out how they will deliver the government’s objectives. This includes planning for where new developments will go and how much land will be allocated for them.
Central to Labour’s NPPF overhaul is a return to mandatory local housing targets which were scrapped under former prime minister Liz Truss. Truss described these targets as “Stalinist” but when they were scrapped, investors and developers expressed horror because, without delivery targets, there is no guaranteed return on any investment in British housing.
More information about how Labour’s pledge to build new towns will work alongside the NPPF is expected soon.that he doesn’t think more funding is required to achieve any of these aims. He said that existing money, including the Affordable Homes Programme , can be made to work harder and cited the fact that former Tory housing secretary Michael Gove was forced to sendworth of housing funds back to the Treasury as an example of how the previous government mismanaged the crisis.
Design will be something Labour need to tackle in the coming weeks before Parliament returns in the autumn. It appears they have scrapped Gove’s requirement that all new buildings are “beautiful”, which has sparked concern amongst some architects. Beauty, of course, is an entirely subjective concept.it was “clear” that this Government understood “the value of mixed communities” where there are both homeowners, private renters and social renters.
Rayner did not do this. She did confirm that details about “future government investment” and rent settlements for social housing providers at the next spending review, which could coincide with the Budget, to help them “plan for the future”. In an attempt to appease Labour MPs who are unhappy about their party’s stance on the two child benefit cap, a Child Poverty Unit has been created. However, no announcement on homelessness has yet been made.
