🏘 Both Conservatives and Labour have committed to building 300,000 new homes a year. 🔎 Our new Build up report analyses the evidence and current practice to see how and where these new homes can be built. 🏗 England needs to avoid building on the green spaces we all value – inside and outside of urban areas.  👉 Read the report https://bit.ly/3RxPgty

Wondering how to solve the housing crisis whilst tackling climate change? Me and Zoe Avison took on the planning system to give you all the answers in this new Green Alliance report. We conducted analysis tackling the question of when it can ever be good for the environment to demolish a building. We showed that carbon emissions were actually higher in a scenario where no demolition occurred and new houses were built on the urban fringe compared to demolishing and densfiying near public transport. Read the report for more analysis info, lots of case studies and policy recommendations. (Big thanks to Zoe for letting me play a part in her brainchild!)

Recently I attended a Q and A run by VPELA about the planning aspects of the State government's Housing Statement. One thing that is very clear from this event is that the Housing Statement is a bold goal. There is no hope of it being achieved if only a single reform is tackled or one action is sought as a silver bullet. The housing issues have been building up for years and will take effort in a lot of places to redress. Last week, following an article released by CoreLogic https://lnkd.in/gxaAEezH there was a small burst of interest about granny flats being built in backyards and their potential to help the housing crisis. Lots of pros and cons were being thrown around, it is clear that some people love them and some hate them! Are granny flats THE ANSWER to our housing issues in Victoria?  No! But they could be one important part of the overall solution. While there may be some 655,000 properties suitable for a granny flat across Australia, common sense dictates that it doesn't mean that all of those properties will be viable for a range of reasons. However, enough of them might to help with our housing issues. While other factors, be they financial, insurance or amenity issues, should be considered, a unilateral commentary to just dismiss the idea in totality serves no-one.  Granny flats aren't the silver bullet answer to the housing crisis, but they could be a part of the solution and they may be the right move for a range of families.  There is no one size only answer to our housing problems. Rather we need a range of different initiatives to tackle this from different levels. Be they actions to increase affordable housing delivery, measures to address planning backlogs or delays in bringing projects to life (among others). Only by embracing a range of initiatives will we hope to start to correct the housing issues. #housingsolutions #propertydevelopment #grannyflat

This is the story of every town… our identity is associated with the downtown - not subdivisions and new commercial district off the interstate. A thriving and beautiful downtown is a thriving city. This is why ideas from Strong Towns, Revitalize, or Die., and Main Street America are so important. It’s also why facade grants and rehabilitated downtown buildings are so critical to the life of a city.
