I know I’m preaching to the choir but look at Cov station, that bit ringed is all either flat car park or single story units. Put some dense housing in there FFS. It’s an hour from Euston! Nuneaton, also an hour from Euston, same issues:

Speaking of flat car parks. Look at the multi-storey at UHCW that was rejected because it would ruins the views of residents. Next to a massive fucking hospital. I mean look at this, must be 60% of the land is flat car parks. Insanity.

This is such a close season argument 🤣

Sad that they aren’t getting rid of green belt TBH, but that’s one hell of a fight so I kinda get it. I’d like to see similar to I forget which country/state that gave pre approval to any building up to six stories near rail stations. When you look at what’s around Cov station or even Canley...

Prisons are critical national infrastructure and the rules we have give that power to ministers already. This is just using that classification as it should be used IMO. I’d hope that a lot of this is short term and that we can resolve the laws around consultation and how rejected apps are...

Is it that they aren’t listened to or that their complaints are basically living in a globalised world and no politician can solve that?

Im on about the government that’s been in place the last 8 years being the most anti immigration govt ever and immigration still rising. Because “taking it seriously” only works if there’s a serious answer. Which there isn’t.

The more you look into it the more you see the current planning system as what’s holding us back. The effort that goes into getting around it is ridiculous and ends up with a chilling effect that people don’t bring projects forward unless they’re sure they’ll pass. The cost of complaining is...

If there’s no market for the houses the. There’s not a housing shortage there so no worries. I’ve got my doubts about what can be done but if anyone is going to tackle the huge vested interests it’ll be a new govt with a large majority.

You think the party of “let’s get wave machines to blow the dinghies back” hasn’t got the stomach to tackle immigration? Or is it maybe that claiming to be able to halt immigration completely is a nonsense policy that’s undeliverable and the likes of Farage know this and are using it to get...

Scratch a fascist get a Tory. Why this guy is taken any more seriously than the Greens or other joke parties I’ll never understand. Has he come out with his magic plan to save £35bn yet? Has he explained where the other £15bn from “efficiency savings” is coming from after 14 years of...

The plans involve removing the chance for locals to block building by giving powers to metro mayors and dev corps in new towns to override those complaints…

As I detailed in my reply they plan to reduce planning blockers by allowing on brownfield and giving mayors more power also by building new towns. These are all new policy proposals the current government hasn’t done.

That would be in the four games he barely played in. People were asking why he was dropped then he’d come on and show why he was dropped.

If you said you’d reduce something (the sell on) by 10% I’d be pretty pissed if you actually reduced it by 67%

They’re talking about planning reform. They’ve already said they’ll move key infrastructure out of local planning control and update the guidance within the first six months, which causes an 18 month delay because the Tories weren’t competent enough to keep it updated. Same as they’re talking...

£6m is 66.66 recurring % of £9m, 10% of £9m is £900k. Hope that helps.

I think it’s reduce to 10% not by 10% personally. But if that’s what they’ve written I’d be getting a half competent contract lawyer on the phone and save us 3.5%

Despite the memes Bidwell was shit at the start of the season and Dasilva was ahead of him on merit. Some people aren’t ready for that conversation though.
