To conclude #TheNewSlums: private property ownership in England encourages development that maximises land/property value. In regulating development, town planning should ensure the benefits of development are distributed justly, including the benefit of decent affordable housing
Benchmark price for affordable housing published by leeds city council 2021. How affordable is this considering the average annual salary is £23,000, around £1600 per month after tax? #TheNewSlums
Developers must take responsibility to ensure standards of compliance with housing regulations are met and not “shuffle” off this with harsh economic time as the excuse #thenewslums
.@michaelgove makes clear in Parliament that there will be no backsliding on building safety - developers and freeholders must meet their responsibilities and pay for remediation costs 👇
Lewisham green space cherished by locals under threat from developers – in pictures. Loss of open space, threat to community cohesion, neighbourhood planning at its worst when unregulated development has taken their sense of community #thenewslums https://t.co/xqmxLJlJQp
Interesting article from @CratusComm asking: is 'affordable' housing really affordable? Successive legislation from 1980s onwards means the answer depends on your income, your local authority, and the type of 'affordable' home. https://t.co/ahXwizM2C5 #TheNewSlums
The plans that have been approved by LCC have meant that most residents have had to move off the estate, away from their communities and safety net. It is crystal clear that planning isn't meeting the needs of this community... #TheNewSlums
I lived in my home on wordsworth drive for 25 years. Amazing community, made friends for life there. We all looked out for each other, now it's gone and will never be the same. All for profit . So sad.
#Thenewslums Stats published today: in 2021/22 across England there has been 23K increase in Affordable Rent homes & 18K increase in low-cost ownership stock, but a decline in social rent homes. So people on lowest incomes worst affected. Again.

Extending planning policy such as permitted development rights, is not the answer. We need more laws, planning regulation and control around housing development. “When there was no planning system, we had slums”. #thenewslums https://t.co/uaBFHsiFmL
Terminus House is one of the worst examples of the effects of permitted development rights. Harlow Council compared the office block to “human warehousing”. It has led to poor quality homes and threatens people health and quality of life. #thenewslums https://t.co/RWwKunenP7
Again questions of fairness and justice, but also whether planning is meeting the needs of its residents. The number of households is projected to grow (stated by Southwark council themselves) so why is planning allowing more office space as opposed to housing? #TheNewSlums
Under Permitted Development laws, which were introduced to meet government targets for new housing. Developers can convert commercial properties to homes with little/no natural light. https://t.co/hOj5GmYzrh #thenewslums #newbuildhome #urbanplanning #housing
Interesting read, great to see Denmark taking action on the land-grabbing TNCs to help tackle the housing crisis. Will be interesting to see how the "affordable" homes are redistributed. Hopefully other countries will follow #thenewslums https://t.co/4jEg8NhiKe
Work underway on affordable homes for local people in Botley, with rent set so that those on universal credits can be eligible, all helping to tackle #thenewslums

Low wages; retirees & holiday homes pushing up prices; developers filling the market with unaffordable homes and a surge in homelessness post-Covid. Affordable housing is no.1 priority in draft local plan, but delivering it is a long way off #TheNewSlums

Is planning enabling climate change? The garden city concept and new 'demand' for open/green space could see an increased car-dependence. More cars=more waste/emissions. Planners need to do more than create awareness and use their power to mitigate climate change.#thenewslums
A great example of how to effectively engage communities to identify and value the historic environment through a Local List. #thenewslums
Interesting discussion following the latest CPRE report on recycling land. If brownfield land sites are in such high supply (167,461 in the NW), why has the use of greenfield land for residential development increased by 148% over the past 10 years (Continued 1/3) #thenewslums
Planning legislation must be amended to protect countryside | Letter https://t.co/q02AyCaZ35
It has been said that this project’s negative impacts outweighs its positives. Even urban planners and scientist have discussed and proposed other solutions. Why is there no multilateral discussion? I guess mega projects > resilience and sustainability. #thenewslums
Tackling climate change & creating 125 social houses in vertical forest tower. How to create a better environment & better living accommodation for lower income people & proving great housing is possible for all people. #thenewslums

It seems as if these developers thought that just because the site is allocated & the council is without a 5-year supply that this legitimises the building of cramped, poor quality homes without access to open space #thenewslums. Quite rightly refused.
