Posts Tagged: Housing

I love my new flat. But I’m also sick of moving. We renters need a Greta Thunberg of the housing crisis.

MPs seem to think ‘it doesn’t affect me, so I’ll think about it later’ when they hear complaints from Generation Rent.

By Charlotte Gill | 16 April 2021

While MPs undermine efforts to develop a proper strategy, Jenrick channels Ridley to get houses built

The rate of successful appeals is apparently running higher even than it did during the 1980s.

By Henry Hill | 14 April 2021

Holly Whitbread: A modern vision for council housing

In Epping Forest new developments are ‘community-led’. We are championing a right to shared ownership.

By Cllr Holly Whitbread | 5 April 2021

James Olney: Underwriting mortgage risk and a stamp duty holiday won’t deliver the home ownership we need

Ministers cannot simply continue to perpetuate a broken system because of the painfully obvious but so often unspoken political risk implicit in reforming the market.

By James Olney | 29 March 2021

The incumbent Mayor of London has proved woeful. So why won’t he be voted out on May 6th?

Finding home ownership unaffordable means that many Conservatives have abandoned the capital.

By Harry Phibbs | 29 March 2021

Paul Bristow: It’s time to integrate mental health, social care, and supported housing services

Such a move could empower service users whilst helping provide the savings the Treasury need to make meaningful reform sustainable.

By Paul Bristow | 18 March 2021

Never mind a coal mine – housing is where Jenrick’s planning power really lies. And he can use it to build, build, build.

Like Ridley in the 1980s, the Secretary of State can brute-force his way past the NIMBY’s blocking tactics by granting appeals.

By Henry Hill | 18 March 2021

Ian George: How to ensure the “right to regenerate” proposals succeed

Residents who seek to develop derelict public sector sites need some protection from bureaucratic obstruction.

By Ian George | 8 March 2021

The Budget should be a big reset moment for post-Brexit, post-Covid Britain. It risks being lost amidst a rush to tax rises.

It will probe whether or or not Sunak can prepare the country for that future – and perhaps succeed Johnson himself, “one fine day”.

By Paul Goodman | 1 March 2021

Will the Government meet its commitment to end rough sleeping during this Parliament?

Housing First is essential but not sufficient – if there are as many non-UK nationals sleeping on the streets post-Covid as before.

By Paul Goodman | 27 February 2021

Robert Halfon: The Conservatives were the party of affordable and social housing – and must be again

This government should not be afraid to fix the rules that are currently breaking our country’s housing market.

By Robert Halfon MP | 24 February 2021

Andy Street: I haven’t raised a mayoral tax during my term, and commit to not doing so if I’m re-elected

It’s not surprising that I do things differently, since I came to the role from a business background, rather than via the world of politics.

By Andy Street | 23 February 2021

Jethro Elsden: Failing to extend the stamp duty holiday would be a big mistake

One of an occasional series of articles that ConservativeHome is publishing in advance of the Budget.

By Jethro Elsden | 23 February 2021 | 2 comments

Tom Spencer: A one-off wealth tax is not the way forward – but a proportional property tax might do the job

We need to focus on policies which will stimulate growth, benefit the many, and not breach the basic principles of fair taxation.

By Tom Spencer | 20 February 2021

Sajid Javid: Housing First helps to break the cycle of rough sleeping. So let’s scale it up and finish the job.

The Centre for Social Justice’s new report sets out in detail how the programme could be increased from 2,000 to 16,500 places.

By Sajid Javid MP | 19 February 2021
