Housing numbers and another mutant algorithm!

31/10/2020

 
In our last major article we looked at the Government’s proposed planning reforms (Planning for the Future) which includes changes to the way housing numbers are determined.
 
The proposed methodology has been widely derided as doing little to build houses in the right places and will lead to just more houses being built in the south of England. It goes directly against the Government’s aims to level up the country. MPs from all parties are waking up to this and are fighting against the reforms.
 
In this new article we look at the history of housing numbers, specifically for our area, and brings us up to date with what looks to be yet another mutant algorithm.

    Aims of BAG

    To protect the Green Belt around Billericay and elsewhere in Basildon Borough from loss through excessive and unjustified development.

    To prevent the character of our historic towns from being changed forever.

    To ensure that any development that does take place is sustainable, with adequate infrastructure and prioritises local needs.

    We support the need for a new Basildon Local Plan and the need for more housing. But it must be of the right number, the right type and in the right places to best help local people obtain a home of their own.
