This year, we have been working closely with Government to promote innovative policy proposals that will unlock the delivery of more affordable homes across the country. We are delighted that the Government has now committed to reviewing these proposals. ft.com/content/9911efd1-1d38…

Ministers consider planning shake-up to boost affordable housing

EG (£) “At the service, Berkeley chief executive Rob Perrins led tributes to Pidgley. Boris Johnson gave a reading from Corinthians, while among other readers and those paying tribute was Lord Kerslake, former head of the civil service.” Quite an event. egi.co.uk/news/industry-gath…

Young people are the beating heart of this Country. 📕Our research tells us that owning a home is a key aspiration in life for most young people. It is important that the Government now acts to make this a reality. #homeownership #citymakers

It was a pleasure to meet with such engaging pupils from #MariaFidelisCatholicSchool. Our younger generation are the future and it was great to get their questions on entrepreneurship and why getting the right mix of housing into the UK is such a challenge. @speakrs4schools

In 1988 40% of new homes were built by #SMEhousebuilders, today it's just 10%. Great to show Andrew an affordable @Pocket_Living home and share our recommendations for how to unlock SME delivery

Delighted that @lb_southwark planning committee have tonight approved two @Pocket_Living developments in the Old Kent Road area. 139 new homes for local people including many affordable Pocket and other homes, the product of a lot of hard work from the Pocket team

Last week I showed @Ben_Everitt a @Pocket_Living home as an example of our quality design and successful use of modern methods of construction for first time home owners on a small infill site in central London.

Croydon is the 4th most affordable borough in London for first time buyers. Here's @Pocket_Living Development Director Thomasin Renshaw talking about our #AddiscombeGrove development, as well as the opportunities within the area. #affordablehousing #firsttimebuyers
Develop Croydon@DevelopCroydon8 Nov 2021
The 15-minute city is opened up with the bicycle and coming out of East Croydon station it does feel a little difficult to navigate. We’d like to see more investment in cycle lanes. Thomasin Renshaw, Development Director @Pocket_Living #DevelopCroydonConference

Some positive support for housing in today’s Budget but a bolder approach is still needed if we are to properly fix our dysfunctional housing market. Funding for brownfield delivery should be community led not council driven and open to all if it is to achieve its full potential

Marc CEO @Pocket_Living urges @michaelgove to think about the housing offer for young people who keep cities vibrant. Our research shows that 62% of young London renters don't want to leave the city to buy but only 2 in 10 are able to save for a deposit

Conclusions: it's time to reframe the planning debate to have a constructive conversation about how we build more and show the benefits for the community. Lots of agreement that now is the time to unlock delivery of all tenures and open up home ownership @Pocket_Living @Demos
