Yorkshire is experiencing a regeneration boom, with transformative infrastructure projects reshaping its commercial property landscape. As property experts in the region, we have seen a lot of change across Yorkshire in recent years, from tram developments to investment in key cities across the county. Paul Dodds, Associate Director at Bradley Hall’s Leeds branch, explores the projects boosting Yorkshire’s commercial property growth. Read the full blog here: https://ow.ly/ihLP50UIt0W

Really concerned by the height of the building proposed in this plan for Newquay Station quarter.

A recent survey across four major urban areas shows that close to 80% of respondents view brownfield regeneration as a positive force for improving their local environment. Harnessing this support will be crucial to unlocking housing delivery and growth through Government policy, which research has shown could bring up to 1.3 million new homes, 1 million jobs and £185 billion in GVA by 2035. Recognising that private sector developers also have an important responsibility to local communities across the UK, we're collectively adopting three new commitments ahead of any new policy change to play our part, alongside Landsec and Berkeley: ✅ We will review our brownfield urban regeneration projects to ensure that they are optimised and the benefits urban communities want to see are delivered. ✅ We will engage proactively with local communities to involve them in shaping the opportunities of brownfield development from the outset, as well as during construction and once built. ✅ We will continue to challenge ourselves and explore new ideas to ensure our engagement is inclusive, representative and equitable.

A sincere thank you to MP Blake Richards for hosting MP Scott Aitchison, Shadow Minister for #Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, here in the #BowValley yesterday. MP Aitchison wanted to hear from our table some of the real challenges that we are collectively facing in the delivery of housing and its impact on greater #investment in the area. He then shared some key thoughts on how to move forward in a more efficient and effective way: -We must continue to reduce #municipal approval timelines, layering of costs and costly delays to bring more housing to the market; that housing delivery simply takes too long. -We need more decisiveness with municipal #planning, #rezoning and housing decisions. -That we need government to 'get out of the way' and let the private sector do what they do best with the delivery of housing. -That 'growth should pay for #growth' is simply not sustainable; a new model is needed for long-term stability. -That we need to have more decision-makers and authorities asking 'how do we get to yes'. -That we have lost the 'customer service' aspect of #government's service delivery and that #investors will move on from jurisdictions that are hard to work with. -That we lack real #leadership and #accountability at a federal level. #Canmore #Banff #MDBighorn #Alberta #Canada #HousingSupply #Infrastructure #RedTape #Investment #HousingCrisis #Construction #Builders #Developers #Contractors #Trades #AffordableHousing BILD Alberta Association BILD Calgary Region Calgary Construction Association Bow Valley Builders and Developers Association Bow Valley Chamber of Commerce

Excellent panel discussion at #UKREiiF on Creating Communities Through Brownfield Regeneration chaired by Liz Hamson. Martin Farrington spoke about the need for ‘dynamic patience’ when market conditions are not favourable. This is also an opportunity to focus on the long term vision and prepare for when markets recover. Martin also highlighted the importance of also finding tangible schemes to help move the city forward whilst shaping the longer term vision. A transport-led approach is key. Passengers at Leeds Train Station grew from 10m to 34m in 10 years, demonstrating how the growth of the Leeds economy has been enabled by the train station. City Leaders need to consider the needs of the 3rd quarter of the 21st century and transport infrastructure required to support this. Tom Stannard spoke about the journey of Salford and how the importance of strong and durable public and private sector partnerships, particularly when investing in brownfield sites that have marginal viability. Bespoke partnerships need to be created so that they are tailored to local drivers. Tony Brooks from Moda Living also spoke about the importance of collaboration between the public and private sector, creating partnerships that bring together the different skillsets required for Brownfield site regeneration. Philip Neil from Birmingham City Counil spoke about how Local Authorities need to extract more value from their assets and actively engage with the private sector to understand how they can derisk schemes so that the cost of capital can be brought down. Inter-connectivity within cities is also a real challenge but there is an opportunity to create distinct places within densely populated areas Angela Harrowing from the Cabinet Office spoke about the 10 year journey of One Public Estate and how the Brownfield Land Release Fund (https://lnkd.in/eq_w4G8H) has awarded £250m to 500 projects across the UK, helping to improve the viability of schemes on Council-owned land, and bringing forward 26,000 new homes.

CT Group's recent survey on public perceptions towards development states that the most popular place to build new homes is Brownfield sites. Nimbys and Yimbys alike are in agreement that this option is the most favourable. The next most popular place to build new homes is in existing urban areas showing support for densification.    Follow our page for a series of insights on public perceptions on real estate and infrastructure.    CT Group is a global consultancy that combine expertise in research, intelligence, campaigns and advisory services.

One site at a time… 🏘️ Last night, we secured committee support for 40 homes in the Green Belt! This decision won’t solve the housing crisis but is a step in the right direction. It’s also an example of the pragmatism currently being shown by St Albans City and District Council. Members know that new homes are needed in the area and understand the inevitability of using Green Belt land as part of the solution. While 40 homes in the Green Belt won’t grab many headlines, it is sites like this that are so desperately needed. It will be acquired by a medium-sized local housebuilder and built out within a couple of years. The proposals include 35% affordable housing and over £700,000 investment in infrastructure. Large, strategic-scale sites are great but these smaller ones really help too. Big thanks to the consultant team, including Nett Assets Limited, Milestone Transport Planning Ltd and EAS The site will be coming to the market soon so watch this space… #GreenBeltDevelopment #AffordableHomes #SustainablePlanning
