Brown's plans will be published next week
Telegraph: Covering England in concrete could end Brown
.. but VI press reacts in advance: "However, ministers and officials, led by the ineffable Hazel Blears, are still filling in details of this terrifying plan. It will not now be published until next week, giving us all a few more days to form our own action groups, or to eye up the property market in rural France" ... actually a few people emigrating to France, not a bad idea

i think the planning system should be revamped, however i dont think we should go mad, but there must be exceptions too..
EG: Ellesmere port and neston allowed an aldi distribution centre in a small village, with a fence 5m high through greenbelt, 300+ lorries passing through area every day, this should not have been allowed , however a local person applied to build a bungalow on a small plot of land stuck between three roads in a triangle, the council refused on grounds of get this ( increased traffic and green belt) where is the justice, or is someone taking backhanders, I know where my bet would be..

I wonder if the new homes (shelf life of about 20 years) will be on sale to just FTB's or if they will open the gates to the BTL Maggots as well.

By my reckoning, the extra properties that our glorious Prime Minister is planning should be finnished just about the time that the property market is well and truly on its way down the toilet.

I predict that the new social housing program will take the form of "new towns" in green belt rural areas to shift the balance of political voting power from conservative to labour in those areas. This is what happened in the sixties and seventies. The new social housing will not be built where it is needed. Families will be required to move away from their communities soley for political reasons. When the conservatives take power they will redraw the political boundaries through "local government reorganisation" just as they did in the eighties soley to alter the political map.

"Why can't it be stressed that owning one's home, while a desirable and happy state of affairs, is only a recent phenomenon, and one not widely evident in many European countries - and that being a private tenant is quite a normal condition? "
Seems reasonable enough to me, the best way to reduce demand is just to persuade people that they don't actually need what they think they need.

If their luck changes, this will cause will be a glut of supply just when we thought it had hit rock bottom and drive it back to the 1070s ;)
