Since the dawn of human settlements, water has been intertwined with society, providing vital sustenance, facilitating transportation, and moreover, emotional bonds and a sense of belonging to each society. Therefore, even in contemporary civilization, water must be present to establish a new society not only to meet the infrastructural needs but also to generate the feeling of home for the non-native settlement.

Fantastic friday afternoon conversation on the NPPF organised by the Eastern Powerhouse and graciously hosted by Carter Jonas in Cambridge. An engaging discussion on how the Eastern Powerhouse should respond to the consultation on the current proposed changes with representatives from across the industry. My 3 clear takeaways were; 1. It is clear that changes to planning are one part of the solution to “getting Britain building again” but alone will not be effective 2. The need for strategic regional planning is needed if we are to deliver anywhere near the governments housing targets and this in turn requires joined up thinking across regions and local authority boundaries to secure the investment in infrastructure required to support growth 3. Government fixation on delivery of a %age of affordable housing is counter productive to delivery, what is far more important is that we deliver more housing supported by investment in job creation and infrastucture in locations where that housing is built. The more supply we create, the more affordable housing will ultimately become for all. Thanks Steven Lynch MBE for the invite
