'Thank you so much for all the work that you are doing to raise this because it is an absolute disgrace we are not building more houses in this country' Thank you to Rt. Hon. Jake Berry MP for speaking to our Senior Communications and Marketing Manager Millie Dodd about what we can do differently to get the homes we desperately need built. By connecting supporters of housebuilding with the planning process, we are creating an evidence base for decision makers around the need for new homes. Got a project you would like to speak to us about? Get in touch: https://lnkd.in/ebffr8BT Millie Dodd Cherry Norton Wyn Evans Alex Crowley OBE Michael Hantman Katie Flynn Erin Futter Shared Voice

Housing and Community Development
We connect supporters of housebuilding with the planning process so that more homes of ALL types get built🏠
About us
Just Build Homes is the only service to connect supporters of housebuilding with the planning process - mobilising supportive voices, generating supportive responses on planning portals and thereby helping to get thousands of new homes approved. We are a brand set up by Shared Voice, a research-led digital communications agency. When new homes are proposed, it seems like everyone objects. But there is a silent majority who are over-looked in the planning system. A whole generation who can’t even afford to rent, let alone buy, because of the lack of supply. Their stories are not told, their voices are not heard. We balance the right of objectors to be heard, with the right of supporters to be heard too – increasing the chances of new homes being approved. So that decision makers have the full picture of what local people think.

Just Build Homes is a fantastic movement connecting the many supporters of new homes with the planning process. They enable them to contribute quickly and easily to the process so their voice is actually heard, rather than just that of the usual vociferous minority of objectors. Whether you’re a big developer or a smaller one, or maybe just someone keen to encourage more good quality places and spaces in your area, I’d highly recommend having a look at what they do.

I had seen pictures of IKEA and Shelter’s reconstruction of temporary accommodation that was provided to Claire, a mother and a young family in Birmingham, but to see it in person was harrowing. Over 117,000 households are living in temporary accommodation. Over 1.2 million households are on local authority housing waiting lists. It is the voices of these people in genuine need of housing that should be heard in the planning system, not just the people who already own their own homes. Decision makers need to be shown the reality of the housing crisis, like Claire’s accommodation. Housing waiting lists are not just numbers. They are genuine people who need to be heard. I grew up in council housing and I feel lucky that I had a roof over my head and somewhere to call home. It shouldn’t be luck. Housing is a necessity, not a luxury. Thank you Marcus Ralling Homes England Francesca Albanese Crisis Colin Tweedy Akerlof Katie Rudin Housing Festival for a genuinely insightful evening at the launch of the ‘New Homes New Ways’ exhibition, not just LinkedIn ‘insightful’. These are the conversations that need to be happening.

Younger, non-homeowners are the most likely to support new developments in their area but the least likely to engage in traditional consultation methods. Why? Because the industry speaks in a language supporters don't understand, about issues that do not engage them. Just Build Homes is changing that. Working with Ballymore, Just Build Homes engaged supporters for Project Flourish who each shared their own personal stories about the housing crisis through an individual letter of support on the Kensington and Chelsea planning portal. 'By talking to the people who stand to gain from building homes, developers can ensure local authorities see a more balanced picture of local opinion.' - Alex Crowley OBE, Co-founder of Just Build Homes.

Housebuilding IS popular. The industry is just not reaching supportive audiences - those directly affected by the housing crisis. Our Senior Communications Manager Millie Dodd wrote an article for Planning in London magazine, explaining how in order to build the homes for the next generation - we need to engage them first. Just Build Homes is doing just that. By connecting supportive audiences with the planning process, we are creating an evidence base for decision makers around the need for new homes.
