Tory plan to concrete over England over staking donations from developers.

The Tories are bringing back their disgraceful plan to block locals from having a say over planning. Basically a developers charter, which I am sure has nothing to do with the 11m in donations the Tories got from developers.

If you think this has anything to do with affordable housing you need your head examining. Developers haven't paid 11m in "donations" to gain the right to build cheap low profit affordable homes.

Worse outcome from this, is when the property bubble implodes, we will be left with large numbers of badly built ghost estates, like Ireland after the last crash.

Boris worst PM of all time? Entirely possible.

Locals should not have a say. They don't own the land nor the views not the roads where the inevitable 'traffic' arguments come in. Nimbys have had it far too good over the past few decades.

Not sure how it will actually progress, if at all, I reckon people are going to make money out of it. Bad greedy people, and I think it's a shame. If I get an affordable house out of it, I will allow them their profits. It the tuncs who keep prices high, profit out of it, and do a sh!t job out of it that get my goat.

Worst outcome? If that's the worst outcome then I'm voting Tory in 3 years, guaranteed.

Worst PM? If I get that house, along with all of the good things he's given me in the past 18 months, it'll deserve a portrait of him in my study above the fireplace. A Union Flag adorning each side of the granite maybe?

Hah, good luck with complaining about that on here, the idea being brought back is probably making a large proportion of posters go weak at the knees.

Agree. I liked this from CapX.

NIMBYism is a nasty business. NIMBYism is when well-housed, well-off people, who were lucky enough to get on the property ladder in time, use their political muscle and rhetorical skill to deny the same opportunities to other people. The solution is not to “listen” to them, it is not to try to “bring them on board”, or to search for a “consensus”. It is to declare an all-out war on them.

Yes agree...inevitable given numbers of new arrivals over last 15 years or so.

That's just attempting to demonise people with an opinion you don't like. "NIMBY" has become a deliberate pejorative term to attack anyone appalled at the impact of yet more building.

Whilst the accusation that some such accused aren't interested in the plight of others getting on the housing ladder is fair enough the people using the term usually come across as even more unpleasant; I've yet to hear one of them admit to any downside to more development, or giving a damn that it might have any negative impact on anything worth having. But then again someone decent enough to admit to that, that development is a necessary evil and thus should be done carefully and alongside plans to minimise demand so there's no need for ever more is unlikely to be the sort of person to bleat on about "NIMBYs".

Considering the amount of shitty development that's happened over the last few decades you must live on another planet. No-one "owns" the views but anyone who doesn't give a crap about making a mess of them is vermin.

As pointed out yesterday there are already 1.3m homes with planning permission in England unbuilt since 2010.

The thing is I'd find it all fairly easy to accept if there was due consideration given to quality, recognition of the downsides, and a solid plan in place to not keep on pushing up demand so all that was needed was catchup (because needs must). But it's ever harder to have sympathy for those clamouring for more when they have none themselves.

It's easy to 'admit' that (although I haven't committed a crime so maybe admit is too strong a word) There is a downside to every single development, and the main one is that of natural areas becoming built up areas. Same with every human being born, there are definitely downsides to that, as they will consume much more of this planet than is necessarily desirable.

I also agree that NIMBY is a very perjorative term. As is "NIMBY scum", another phrase I am likely to use after a beer. The problem I have with them is that they have managed to wield an incredible amount of negative power in a selfish way and I would liken them to someone on the Titanic refusing access to a lifeboat because they fancied stretching out in a bit of comfort. The lack of housing that (I honestly believe) is a problem in this country has caused unold millions of insecure family lives and a lifetime of debt servitude to the ones who needed a bit of stability. All because someone liked looking at a field.

And then there there is this.....

The North Waltham Action Group had opposed the plans for the new hospital because of concerns over traffic, noise and light pollution, and the effect the development would have on the rural landscape.

This is a devlopment that will treat cancer and critical care (heart attacks, strokes or major injuries etc), but the increase in traffic will be quite inconvenient for the resident. I mean f#cking hell and I will say again NIMBY Scum.

I might have a bit of understanding with any concern, but every single bloody development has the same response. I haven't got the time or energy to pick through their arguments to see if any of them might have merit. I suspect many boil down to convenience. Like being able to stretch out comfortably in a lifeboat.

I dislike new builds almost as much as The North Waltham Action Group, but that is different planning problem that should also be addressed. I'd prefer nice houses and a lot less immigration but as we don't get that, sorry Nimbys your arguments need to be ignored now for the greater good.

Every development getting the same response is, I think, a combination of two factors - the overall level of development already, and the quality of it. Quite frankly just about every objection does have merit because more development is always going to be a negative at this point - a necessary one, true, thanks to past irresponsibility, but still a negative.

There are two essential components for less objection I believe - better quality (including location consideration), and give some solid hope for the future that this is pretty much the last one-off; I think many (not all) will accept the necessity if it's not being continually driven upwards.

I prefer NODAM (No Development After Mine) to NIMBY. The green outlook that no-one wants to lose - the now established estates once spoiled someone else's view...

development a "necessary evil"? Bit harsh

"plans to minimise demand" Agree

Most established estates aren't exactly great TBH. Whilst there have probably been objections going back to the first mud hut outside someone's cave the level does seem to increase over time so I do strongly believe there's a link with the total levels. Rate also plays a big part; small levels of development over a long time simply don't get noticed as much.

Why's "necessary evil" harsh? It's saying it needs to be done but it would be better if it wasn't needed and wasn't done. It's a common enough phrase, I don't think it implies evil in the most literal sense.

Unfortunately this has been cause by Labour policies of swamping the country in previous years will millions of fast breeding immigrants , and socialist feminist welfare policies of allowing feckless single mum chavs to breed like rabbits. Hence the population has increased by nearly 20 millions. Your barking up the wrong tree mate

Quoted for the sheer stereotype brilliance.

A work of art.

Yes, there's a considerable area even in the most densely developed areas that isn't physically occupied by anything other than a building. But they're still 100% developed, so heaven knows what your point is.
