Our next discussion will be on Tuesday 11 January (7.00pm - 8.30pm) on MS Teams. The topic will be Planning & Housing.
The questions we will consider are:
-
Do you agree with CPF Groups that previously proposed that “land should be taxed at a higher rate once planning permission is granted or once it is included in zoned development areas”?
-
CPF Groups previously proposed that “Houses not purpose-built for people with disabilities should also be accessible, so that people with disabilities can visit friends and in recognition that anyone may temporarily require use of walking aids or wheelchairs.” Do you agree that the optional technical standards for accessible and adaptable housing should be made compulsory?
-
In what ways would you improve the government’s plans to modernise the planning system?
-
In what ways would you improve its plans to increase the supply of affordable new homes?
-
How might we raise rates of home ownership?
-
In what ways do you think pressure could be relieved on the rental market?
-
Is there any other observation you would like to make?
