From setbacks to optimism sums up a common theme among professionals involved in the UK’s housing sector when reflecting on this year 🏠️ We caught up with one of our senior surveyors, Maxwell Fellows, in our development team, who takes a deep dive into the 2024 housing market and looks at many factors affecting the industry 👉️ https://bit.ly/4hKWuFG #WeAreFG #Housing #Property #Development #Construction #Planning

Back in 2018, due to local planning authorities (LPAs) failing to meet housing delivery targets and an increase in applications on unallocated sites going to appeal, a decision was made to temporarily disapply paragraph 6.2 of Technical Advice Note (TAN) 1. This decision eliminated the significant weight given to the 'lack of a 5-year housing land supply as a material consideration in determining planning applications for housing'. Fast forward to March 2020, this temporary move became permanent with the complete revocation of TAN1, removing the requirement for LPAs in Wales to calculate a 5-year housing land supply. Instead, a new mechanism for monitoring delivery against an average annual requirement or a housing trajectory agreed upon in a Local Development Plan (LDP) was put in place. Now, five years later since the initial consultation, and in light of recent updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in England, we reflect on how these changes have unfolded in Wales.

As Australian residential housing infill and development rises in what were once traditionally industrial areas, industry will increasingly be required to manage its operations to limit possible impacts on new communities. In this publication, #TeamSPB explore what odour is, how it's perceived and what changes to compliance companies need to prepare for!

On behalf of RPS City Planning team and as a Board member of the RICS L&NRs Group, I am honoured to be once again chairing the national RICS Planning & Development conference taking place in October. With a huge shift in housing and planning reforms underway following a series of recent government announcements, including incoming legislation and changes to national planning policies, the need to get a comprehensive handle on the market reaction from both a public and private sector perspective is timely if we are to garner a clear view over what this means in practical terms to gear up for this much needed growth. The RICS P&D event will cover: - a view from the mayoral perspective with contributions from Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands & Jules Pipe CBE, Deputy Mayor for Planning and Regeneration for the Mayor of London; - How do we deliver transformational large scale mixed use regeneration developments at pace with senior contributors inc. Tom Goodall, Rob Heasman, James Saunders and Marianne Brook which will be skilfully chaired by Bek Seeley - A local government perspective from senior local government CEOs: Kim Wright, Tom Stannard, Martin Reeves, OCC, outgoing CEO Melbourne Barrett and Mike Kiely former Chair of POS (Planning Officers Society) 🏳️🌈 - a planning legal update from Simon Ricketts & Lord Charles Banner KC and local govt political analysis by Nick Kilby MCIPR And, what housing providers think the new reforms will do to stimulate the market and what challenges still remain to unlock delivery to support both large and SME housing providers with panel contributions from Bob Weston, Weston Homes Plc, Fiona Fletcher Smith, Mark Skilbeck and Andrew Taylor FRTPI. Full details for the event can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e3QYiQuX It will be a chance to interrogate the proposed swathe of reforms with key politicians, senior officers and industry leaders and I do hope you will join me in what will be a full day to explore how we turbo charge housing delivery to see a significant uptick in output. To whet the appetite on our take of the latest planning reform announcements, view Karen jones & Adam.
