While Labour politicians 'should' find it politically difficult to oppose house building, Conservatives will now double down at the the next local elections against Labour's housing plans.

4️⃣ Where will the new planning officers come from? 📋Could there be a role for the private sector in supporting a training and skills drive? Once again, proactive developers and planning consultants should be getting on the front foot from day one to offer a solution.
15/ 🏡 First-time Buyers & Mortgage Guarantee Scheme:
Introducing a permanent mortgage guarantee scheme called “Freedom to Buy”. Essentially an extension of the current mortgage guarantee scheme expiring in 2025. Could help c.65k own their own home. #FirstTimeBuyers
14/ 🌾 Nutrient Neutrality & Environmental Protections:
Unlocking homes affected by NN without compromising environmental standards. The 100k home question. Labour sunk last Govt’s plans to lift NN rules but will now need to solve the problem themselves. #EnvironmentalProtection
The election is on! Our advocacy team will be providing insight & analysis throughout the campaign. In the meantime, take a look at our recent ‘Ready for Government’ document, looking at where Labour stands on the key issues. Stay tuned for more
