Houses

"Generations of aspiring homeowners are being failed by the Government and will struggle to get on the property ladder without major planning reforms, the boss of Redrow has claimed. In a warning shot to Tory leadership candidates Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, Matthew Pratt said saving up a deposit without help from the “bank of mum and dad” was now almost impossible for a current generation of renters. He warned the problem will only get worse without reforms to ensure more planning permissions are granted, allowing home building to be ramped up."

This is my question BT, housebuilders say, as above, they could build more houses but they can't get planning permission, so where is it they can't get planning permission, because it's certainly not any of the places I know and visit. The whole north of England appears to be one vast building site, so where is the problem, it's not up here. Could it be the housebuilders are putting us away, there are often claims that they're buying up land to build on and then just sitting on the land and not developing it, they are rapacious, capitalist, parasites after all aren't they.

Whatever, the evidence of my own eyes does not fit with the narrative, and I simply wonder just WTF is going on.

You are absolutely bang on mon ami. Drive up past the LIDL towards Pendle Hill, going past Shawbridge on the left and you will no doubt notice they are trying to connect Wiswell to Clitheroe and not a "Council House" in sight.

Seriously mon ami, a couple of months ago I tried to count the number of new developments in this area, I lost track and lost count, there were that many of them. New ones kept appearing that I never knew were there. I could try again, but I really can't be arsed, what's the point anyway ?
