It is encouraging to see committed spending progressing in the North West region; the £24 million regeneration of the Wirral Waterfront Woodside programme is advancing, providing 1,700 homes, hotels and tourist attractions. Elsewhere, a consultation has opened for 900 homes in Wrexham. A 113-acre site is looking to be developed by the Harworth Group, including 20% affordable housing. The project is part of the Wrexham Local Development plan and will also include the construction of local amenities such as a primary school, sports pitches and infrastructure upgrades. The concerns surrounding the economy are evidenced by the administration of house builder Stewart Milne Homes, caused by rising costs and a challenging supply chain.

Affordable housing for all

#PublicFeedback Sought on Potential Licensing for #PrivateRentalHousing in #Leeds. #ResidentsofLeeds are invited to participate in discussions regarding a proposed new licensing system for privately rented housing. Initiated by #LeedsCityCouncil, this follows the introduction of ‘#SelectiveLicensing’ in #Beeston and #Harehills in 2020, which was aimed at improving the quality of rental homes and addressing social and health disparities within these communities. The initial scheme has shown promising outcomes; however, according to the #HousingAct2004, selective licensing in #England is limited to five years. Consequently, the council is now evaluating a broader initiative that would not only revisit #Beeston and #Harehills but also extend to include areas of #Armley, #Holbeck, #Hunslet, #CrossGreen, and #EastEndPark. #Leeds is proactive in addressing the diverse housing needs of its population. Alongside new development, the city is renovating existing properties to meet modern standards of living. These renovations are crucial in preserving the architectural heritage of #Leeds while ensuring that all housing is safe, comfortable, and suitable for contemporary living https://lnkd.in/g8SHyBt7 #LeedsNews #LeedsStar #LeedsStarNewspaper #LeedsCityCouncil #VisitLeeds #Leeds

Great for Coastline Housing to be in the Inside Housing Top 10 completions against percentage of stock again - that is now seven years in a row………. We might not be the biggest housing provider in the country but it’s all part of doing our bit to help solve the housing crisis in Cornwall and support those who live in and part of our local communities. We’re not complacent to be in there: it takes a huge amount of hard work to build houses (whilst also continuing to manage and invest in all of our existing customers and homes). It’s also a team effort so thanks to all of our partners who help to make it all happen (and apologies for those I have missed of the list of tags that follows!). #cornwall #affordablehousing #homes Karen Goldup James Cox Homes England Classic Builders Taylor Lewis Anthony Bassett Georgina Hayman ebc Partnerships Limited Jason Mitchell Allister Young Steve Harrison Mark England Trewin Design Architects Norman Rourke Pryme | Certified B Corp™️ Randall Simmonds LLP Stephens Scown Foot Anstey LLP APG | B Corp™ ROBERTSON DEVELOPMENTS LTD Nathan Mallows Cornwall Council Ian Harris Darren Buckley Cornwall Chamber of Commerce GoCollaborate Limited Bradfords Building Supplies Ltd https://lnkd.in/epvtxTkX

This week was a good week in the planning world. Started the week off on Monday with a planning appeal being allowed for a Class AA upwards extension of a bungalow adding an addition floor to the dwelling. On Wednesday Listed Building Consent was granted for repair works to a couple of dormer windows on a commercial property in a very attractive and highly popular High Street. And the week was finished off nicely with consent for a replacement dwelling in the Green Belt. This application had taken longer than expected to get through and there were several discussions about whether the scheme would require affordable housing contributions. But after providing the Council with a planning argument as to why the replacement dwelling did not trigger the need for a contribution, permission was finally granted. Not a bad week at all. #planning #planningcommunity #planningpermission #planningpermissiongranted #planningappealsuccess #development #replacementdwelling #listedbuildingconsent

Seaside housing in Portsmouth

Ladner, a small Lower Mainland town set within the larger, fast-growing municipality of Delta, B.C., is starting to get a taste of higher density development more common among its neighbours, reported Real Estate News Exchange (RENX). "Updates to zoning rules in Ladner and to Delta's Official Community Plan mean the small city of 23,000 people is starting to see larger condo developments proposed and approved, say stakeholders focused on building and selling new homes in the riverside town."   "The concept of multifamily housing has rarely been available in Ladner Village in the past, but now Headwater Projects is pre-selling a six-storey condo and commercial building called Bridge & Elliott." https://lnkd.in/gZEspWuK #ladner #development #mixeduse
