The UK is in the middle of a chronic housing shortage. The government wants 300 thousand new homes built every year, but where should they go? Local authorities are under pressure and campaigners want to protect green spaces. How can we get the balance between the need for new homes and sustainability?
Join me as I discuss these issues and more with Helen Marshall, director of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, Oxfordshire and Maxwell Marlow from the Adam Smith Institute whose new report suggests allowing homeowners to build up to eight storeys high will alleviate the housing shortage and benefit the economy.
We explore the option of building on brownfield sites, land that has previously been developed. We talk about the role of solar. We look at the new report by the Adam Smith Institute: Cooped Up, quantifying the costs of housing restrictions. Should planning regulations be eased to encourage more building, or tightened up to protect the environment? Can we have more houses and still save our green spaces for future generations?
This podcast is supported by Stretto Architects an award-winning, design-led architect studio based in Bristol. Stretto has a dedicated team specialising in environmentally sensitive urban regeneration and a commitment to supporting projects rooted in social good.
