Room 106

Ep24: How the government will incentivise communities to accept housebuilding, rumours of relaxation of affordable housing demands on developers and the council that ‘epitomised unreasonableness’?


Listen Later

In this episode we’ll explore:

  • Reports that the government will relax the affordable housing and biodiversity demands placed on developers, among other deregulation – will it happen?
  • The Conservative Party conference – what we learnt
  • What led an inspector to describe a council as the “epitome of unreasonable behaviour” over its refusal of 700-home scheme?

PLUS our deep dive section explores how the government’s proposal to replace what they call “top-down Stalinist housing targets” with local “incentives” for communities to accept new development might work.                                                                                                                                    

AND in our readers’ choice section, we learn about staff shortages being blamed for a deputy council leader being granted permission by mistake.

By the end of the show, you should know enough to approach the office coffee machine with confidence.
