Positive Homes

Proudly building beautiful, incredibly energy efficient homes with really low energy bills, clean air and so much more. Heading for #netzero carbon.

[Positive Homes @positivehomes]

Spent 2 days in an appeal hearing, battling @Rushcliffe to build 22 super-low carbon starter homes. They’re against it, despite being, err, in favour of ecohomes. Actively trying to stop us building low cost, 1st time buyer homes, despite, err, saying there’s a need for them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Or, if you buy one of our homes, you can have the one on the right today….

Almost a quarter of UK adults we surveyed who are looking to move house said they would favour a property with flood resilience measures installed🏠

Textbook example of developer does loads of good things - builds houses - while the public sector completely fails to do its part and create surgeries and schools etc.

So who gets the blame? https://t.co/itAvpx0fbg

‘Planners said no’ even.

[Positive Homes @positivehomes]

Hey @michaelgove - this is a shame. We could have spent some of this for you, on 22 low cost starter homes in @Rushcliffe (price to earnings 10.5:1). But planned said no.

Money isn’t the problem really. It’s the broken planning system.

This is a brilliant 🧵on why EPCs need fundamental reform (says us - and every home we’ve built is an A…..) 👇👏👏👏👏👏

“But we can’t just build more houses because prices will fall and you couldn’t make a profit…” 👀👀👀

[createstreets @createstreets]

The Victorian & Edward house-building boom was incredible. They doubled the housing stock from 1851-1911 (3.8 to 8.9 million homes) with house prices falling for 70 yrs up to 1918 declining from 13 times earnings to little over 2 during WWI...

TLDR: we need to build A LOT more houses, by any sensible objective measure. But please read this, it’s brilliant 👇 (and remember only 6% of 🇬🇧 is built on - including your garden). And those extra homes needed? You’re talking 0.2% of land that’s currently a field. IE - nothing

[Paul Smith @Paul_SLG]

How many new homes do we really need? 🏘️

The proposed changes to the NPPF have prompted lots of debate about their impact on meeting the government’s target of 300,000 new homes per year.

And is that even the right number in the first place?

A thread 🧵, with graphs. 📊 🥰

Presumably this includes the government turning all clay soil into something that drains, yes? 🤯🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️

SUN UP, SCAFFOLDING DOWN 👇 Ok, so it’s literally freezing today - but we have a warmth inside us after getting the scaffolding down in North Hykeham. Our 2 net zero carbon homes are really taking shape now! (And will save you £2,000 a year on your energy bills) 😊😊
