The Radix Big Tent Housing Commission has today published its final recommendations to address England’s housing shortage, calling for key changes to planning, funding, and implementation. The recommendations follow a seven-month engagement campaign across the real estate industry, with Shoosmiths' living sector legal experts supporting the Commission since its launch in March 2024. Titled Beyond the Permacrisis – Delivering 1,000 Homes a Day, the report sets out 15 practical steps to help the government meet its target of 1.5 million new homes The multi-disciplinary Commission – featuring property professionals, developers, investors, planners, academics, and Shoosmiths partner and living sector co-head Lisa Tye – makes the case for treating housing as national infrastructure. The report also proposes an innovative framework for housing delivery, including a clear strategy, a new housing delivery unit at the heart of government, cross-party collaboration, and clarified roles for different tiers of government. From a personal perspective it was useful to engage and represent my own experiences in the PBSA sector along with some of our clients. 🔗Find out more about the recommendations and read the full report: https://lnkd.in/geBdvAGc #RealEstate #HousingCommission #Housing #Policy #Shoosmiths #living #PBSA

**Did you know? 🔍** When it comes to residential subdivision developments, there are numerous hidden costs that developers absorb to ensure the community's safety and infrastructure needs are met. One such example is the recent installation of fire hydrants at our McQueen Farms project in Hoke County, NC. At Sandhills Real Estate Holdings, we are committed to providing safe and well-equipped neighborhoods. To that end, we were asked by the fire marshal (as a development condition) to install two fire hydrants at our latest development in Hoke County, NC. This crucial expense is just one of many that developers often bear without much public awareness. Fire hydrants play a vital role in ensuring that fire services can effectively protect homes and families, enhancing the overall safety of our community. However, these necessary installations are not always covered by public funds, and can significantly impact the overall development costs. By shedding light on these hidden expenses, we aim to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the complexities involved in creating thriving residential communities. Next time you see a new neighborhood sprouting up, remember the unseen investments that contribute to making it a safe and pleasant place to live. *** McQueen Farms is a joint venture development between Ben Stout Construction and Sandhills Real Estate Holdings. #RealEstateDevelopment #HiddenCosts #CommunitySafety #McQueenFarms #HokeCountyNC #SandhillsRealEstateHoldings

Addressing the Australian Housing Shortage today & why Innovative Solutions are necessary (vital) as the roadmap to eradicate the growing homelessness in Australia first, and then beyond - My top 6 reasons behind the existing housing crisis; -Land availability and cost in the areas where people want to / need to live -Lack of tradespeople =Length of time to build for traditional stick build -Builders and developers don’t want to build affordable homes -Land banking by developers -Price of housing driven up by immigration and speculation (tax policies are part of the cause) I hope and believe prefab CLT could be the game-changer in 2024 onwards- https://lnkd.in/ggxDd3TR #prefab #crosslaminatedtimber #modular #sustainableconstruction #sustainabledevelopment #affordablehousing #homelessness #grannyflats #seniorliving #inclusiveliving #SDA #specialistdisabilityaccommodation #construction #cltbuild #quickbuild #lowcarbonfootprint #prefabhome #prefabrication #prefabhouse #homeless #homelessness #australian #housingcrisis #housingprices

A BLAST FROM THE PAST Occasionally, while working locally, we encounter remnants of our past. One such artefact, depicted in the attached image, bears the name of our founder, Harry Rose. This item likely originates from an old coal boiler utilised for heating water in households around the 1920s. In 1896, H. L. Rose and Sons was established, and over four generations, it has evolved into the present-day entity known as Rose Builders. What began as a modest business, employing approximately 20-30 individuals, has since grown to encompass over 200 employees. Furthermore, the fifth generation of the Rose family now works within the business playing a crucial role leading our Commercial contracting team. Our enduring success can be attributed to the timeless values passed down through generations. May this legacy continue to prosper for years to come. #legacy #familybusiness #contractor #builder #housebuilding #essex #suffolk #eastofengland #newhomes #affordablehomes #housing #construction #history #values #quality #qualityendures #local #localbusiness #community
