Dear Julie
Just some quick thoughts and observations regarding increasing the supply of UK housing.
Developers want to build more houses because its in their financial interest to do so.
The Government want more houses as there are severe shortages of housing. However, the reality is despite this apparent convergence of interests we are producing fewer homes and the reasons are complicated but below are some of my thoughts.
Planning is an ever more difficult, complicated lengthy process, even on schemes like (most) of ours where we are universally welcomed, planning can get bogged down in the detail and it can take an awful long time.
Land is incredibly expensive and maybe thought should be given to making better use of publicly owned land. Rather than sell it to the highest bidder it might be better to pre-determine the price that is needed for the land before going out to the market (might be a nominal pound or many millions), and give it not to who pays the most, but who provides the best scheme (e.g. most social housing, best design, best environmental credentials, best place created etc). In addition, promise that good e.g. zero carbon, high affordable housing schemes will receive faster planning decisions and would be more likely to get planning than other schemes.
Allow private developers to provide social housing directly.
Encourage better use of things like 1st time buyers initiative.
Have a whole sale look at how PFI works in redeveloping council estates (its slow, expensive and usually produces really mediocre schemes).
Look at abolishing quota system for affordable housing (e.g. 50%); the net effect of this is to simply fuel house price inflation.
I hope the above is of use.
Overall, I believe the fundamental answer is about combining the private sectors (at its best), imagination, resources and construction skills with the public sectors, land, ambitions and financial resources in much more imaginative ways.
I have sent you under separate cover 3 copies of our last annual review which has many illustrations of successful pilots of this approach (e.g. Rope Walks, Liverpool; New Islington, Manchester; Langworthy, Salford; Royal William Yard, Plymouth and Park Hill in Sheffield).
Best regards.
