Even if these levels of home building were achieved, those aged 25 to 34 will be less likely to own their own home in 2031 than their counterparts in 2011 - when rates of home ownership amongst young people were already 40% lower than in 1991. This suggests the actual figure could be even higher than the TCPA estimate.
The TCPA, who champion the Garden City design concept as the best way to deliver sustainable development, attempts to balance the views of the development industry, social justice campaigners and the environmental movement. It is far from being a development industry mouthpiece, which makes their findings all the more significant.
With this context, the time has never been better to promote sites for residential development. The Strategic Land Group specialise in securing planning permission for new homes on both greenfield and brownfield sites, resolving any technical issues and selling the sites on to residential developers for a premium. This is done entirely at our cost and our risk - we don't make a profit unless we deliver. If you own, or know of, a site which you think might be suitable for this approach, please get in touch. We would be delighted to hear from you.
