| The fundamental problem with everything everyone has written on this thread is that we're told we need more housing because of insufficient supply. Ironically, despite all the development going on in London as a whole, the new London Plan sets a housing need target below what is forecasted. Many planning authorities on the fringes of Greater London can't demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply, and therefore paragraph 11(d) of the national planning policy framework comes into play which states that planning applications for new residential developments should be approved unless the adverse impacts substantially and demonstrably outweigh the benefits (again because of this importance placed on providing new homes) You've got authorities like Guildford adopting (after independent examination) a local plan that includes losing areas of the Green Belt for housing allocations. You've got the very real potential that the Tory SoS might get involved in the adoption of the London Plan by the Labour Mayor on the basis that the housing targets within the emerging London Plan are too low, with the SoS ruling that the targets need to be increased, which on the one hand will mean even more development within Greater London than has taken place in recent years, yet on the other this will go down well in traditionally 'blue' authorities on the London fringes which might then not have to lose their green belts for housing development. So, unless there's a seismic shift in planning policy and we're suddenly told that there's sufficient housing supply to meet the demand, nothing is going to change. I'm not saying that's right, I'm not saying that's wrong, but it's easy to sit behind a keyboard and moan that Councils are in cahoots in developers and so forth, whereas the actual reality is that planning policy from national level downwards is basically all about providing additional housing no matter what. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I've worked in this field for over 20 years now, at Councils, as Taylor Wimpey's Planning Manager for the whole of Greater London, for multinational consultancies and for many years now both when I worked for such consultancies and now that I'm self-employed, for one of the largest fast food companies in world, and I haven't been to bed (or in bed) with any Council employees or developers in that time !. |
