@DaleVince Dale, how come you post this rubbish and then never come back to respond to the points made, or provide detailed evidence?
BTW....do you ever challenge Chine and India, for example, on the vast pollution they cause...no? Thought not, it's all the cows fault!
@AngelaRayner The planning system is broken.....controlled by rich developers who take on council trained planners, take those councils to court if plans are rejected as council's can afford to challenge them and don't stick to affordable housing policy.
@mhclg No it doesn't...example..Birmingham, huge areas of wasteland, near services, jobs and transport...what do you do? Lower Birmingham's target....what nonsense...knee jerk reaction without really understanding the situation. what about all the empty homes?
@AngelaRayner Angela, not here to specically comment on housing numbers, but what is your plan to utilise 1. The hundreds of thousands of empty houses? 2. Utilising the thousands of acres of wasteland in city areas....Birmingham for example (but you have lowered their target!)..
