It’s hard to make housing developments stack in today’s market.

Build costs are up

Policies are changing

Planning is a dragging.

So I asked Alex Notay -
Chair of the Radix Big Tent Housing Commission and one of the most respected strategic voices in UK housing -
what it really takes to deliver 1,000 homes per day.

She shared the big lessons on the podcast, including:

• Treat housing as national infrastructure - not just a market product.
• Planning + policy + funding must operate as one ecosystem.
• Solve for delivery capability, not just land and capital.
• Communication matters - complexity without clarity kills momentum.
• The biggest risk in the sector? Unintended consequences from siloed decisions.

If you’re trying to develop or retrofit UK housing over the next 2–5 years, this conversation is a powerful scene-setter - first published almost a year ago.
