Day 18 of a #sharednarrative for #Plymouth: There are more possibilities in play! Stonehouse: Building on everything that is great about Stonehouse, this aims to be a ambitious neighbourhood scale demonstration of what a regenerative, healthy, economically vibrant neighbourhood could look like. Led by Nudge Community Builders, it specifically wishes to bring focus onto 3 critical aspects to unlocking this future: * property and land ownership for wealth retention; * what a financial ecosystem needs to look like to lubricate and help fuel the future to emerge; and * how we organise ourselves that unlocks our humanness. National Marine Park - https://buff.ly/4cCP0Ri Plymouth has been awarded £11.6 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to develop the UK’s first National Marine Park with a forward-thinking approach to urban planning and environmental sustainability. This could enable us to deeply consider our natural assets at a city level and what it would really take to steward them healthily in collaboration as a city. Freeport - https://buff.ly/4dtJQse The Plymouth and South Devon Freeport is aiming to attract investment into marine, defence and space technologies (inc military vehicles and submarines) and significant investments are planned in Plymouth in areas of , construction and ocean technologies – how will these investments truly account and solve for the material and environmental constraints and the externalities (indirect impacts) that are associated with them?

It was a pleasure to take part in a BBC News InDepth debate on housing chaired by Mark Easton, BBC Home Editor alongside Nicholas Boys Smith, Chair of CREATE STREETS and Roger Mortlock, CEO of CPRE The countryside charity. It is great to see the BBC making space for a more in depth, nuanced debate about solutions to the housing crisis. Here are some of the questions we explored and my responses… We need new homes, where should they go? 🗣 We need a housing offer that works for everyone, building new homes and communities right across England. Regen or growth? 🗣 It is right that we consider all options, including regeneration and building new communities, and we must ensure local people are involved in the process. Is there enough brownfield land to build all the homes we need? 🗣 A brownfield first approach is great, but brownfield land alone won't be enough to deliver the quantity of homes we need - not to mention, some brownfield land is not appropriate for development - so it's right that the government looks at all options for meeting the housing need. Can we build at scale and ensure quality? 🗣 The debate shouldn’t be housing quality vs housing quantity – we need both. All homes should be well designed, meet the needs of residents and enhance their wellbeing – this means making sure they are accessible, adaptable, sustainable and crucially for us, affordable.
