@osvaldo_fan_fan @RepublicStaff Are you dicussing a US/French-style directly elected executive presidential system in the thread below? Why do all that drama just in order to dump the archaic hereditary monarchy? Simply adopt the German/Greek/Indian parliamentary-elected ceremonial system which works well.

[Shaviram Group @ShaviramGroup]

@RepublicStaff ...and abolish the concept of "crown property" as having any distinction whatsoever from state property. Put the nice ancient stuff into the National Trust for the people, so beautiful old palaces don't become shopping centres, multiplexes & duplexes and be lost for all time.

[Shaviram Group @ShaviramGroup]

@RepublicStaff So as not to lose the pomp and circumstance which is so popular locally and worldwide - who are boring we to judge? - couldn't the UK have a parliamentary-elected ceremonial head of state on the German/Indian/Israeli/Greek model & just call her/him Queen/King for old times sake?

2/2 With this is mind, it is a tragedy that Permitted Development Rights to convert old, tired, semi-vacant office buildings to residential use has now been limited to 1500 m². Substandard greedy developers caused this but the size limitation solves nothing & causes major injury.

1/2 Mixed use is the key to urban renewal. Residential massing in the heart of declining town centres, micro-mobility & green public transport kick-start private sector renewal processes. This has worked from E. London to Manhattan, Thessaloniki to south Tel Aviv. Aldershot too🙏

@davideclifford We finally got that bridge down and opened the view. What a saga that was! @davideclifford thank you for the support.

@trussliz @KwasiKwarteng Please abolish insane EU habitat regs and restore PD over 1500 m² with full application of minimum space & sunlight standards, so that we can get back to the business of turning city-centre run-down, derelict or semi-vacant offices into lovely apartments & vibrant communities!

@_Basingstoke @BasingstokeGov ...or sell us the freehold of Normandy House! 🏢

@davideclifford @ryedemolition Thank you very much @davideclifford. Shaviram is in Aldershot for the long haul, deepening our commitment as we speak! @galleriesalder

@krishgm We build in Reading UK. Our American-born sec keeps calling it Reeding, like reading a book😬😬😬. Apparently there's one in Pennsylvania too. I think there's a intl summer school or something similar in Reading UK that deliberately "misspells" its own name as Redding.

Our Clifton House project in Peterborough will be completed this month! Who fancies renting there?! #cliftonhouse #Peterborough

[Shaviram Group @ShaviramGroup]

@TheLordMidge @E17Leaseholders @RobertJenrick So why bother with the stupid legal fiction of "leasehold"? Just make it the freehold.

[Shaviram Group @ShaviramGroup]

@RobertJenrick By abolished I mean the concept of course. All current leasehold flats would automatically become freehold. Ground rent investors have had fun so far (that minimally includes us) but no more. By the way, we'd be very happy to hand over our ground rents to a house committee.

[Shaviram Group @ShaviramGroup]

@RobertJenrick Clarifying: the so-called "freehold" would simply be the common parts owned by all the freehold flats proportionally to their relative size, each flat registered as a sub-parcel in the Land Registry. "Leasehold" flats would be abolished retroactively. Either AST or freehold.

[Shaviram Group @ShaviramGroup]

@TyeJess @RobertJenrick @jahanara100 It should be applied retroactively, undoubtedly. Under condominium law, hiring or not hiring a management company would be the prerogative of the flat-owners condominium house committee. Nothing to do with fictional freeholds and antiquated property rights.

"Leasehold" flats would be automatically abolished. Either AST or freehold, period.
