episode Ep 8 - Telford Living cover

Ep 8 - Telford Living

In episode eight, Alexandra Murphy [https://www.mills-reeve.com/people/alexandra-murphy/], a principal associate in our real estate team, is joined by Dan Curtis, vice president - development investment at Telford Living. What’s been blocking housebuilding to date? Dan shares his thoughts: * Investor sentiment has been low since the Budget at the end of 2022, impacting new housing. * Inflation also makes it harder to deliver what’s needed. * The regulatory regime after Grenfell has left an unclear position. * The international supply chain, such as Ukraine and the Middle East, has affected how businesses can deliver to time and budget. Dan’s wishes to the government would be to have: * A resilient supply chain. * Properly resourced regulatory bodies and planning departments. * Tax breaks, especially for green homes. * More consistent grants nationwide, this will help to unlock unviable land. * Take the politics out of planning!

Ep 7 - OakNorth Bank

In episode seven, Andy King [https://www.mills-reeve.com/people/andy-king/], a real estate finance lawyer at Mills & Reeve, speaks to Dale Cowdell and Mike Tierney, directors at OakNorth Bank, who provide debt finance to housebuilders.   Dale and Mike share their views on: * Blockers, including how social housing providers are finding that stretched budgets (due to remedial works required post-Grenfell) are diverting funds away from building new housing, and how Right to Buy has reduced their stock, while waiting lists keep growing. * The economic changes they’d like to see to stimulate housebuilding. This includes reduction in the Bank of England base rate to reduce the cost of borrowing, tax breaks for housebuilders with a strong track record in delivering new homes, and the expansion of the Housing Group Partnership for good reliable housebuilders, potentially looking to guaranteeing their loan/equity. * The changes they’d like to make to the permitted development regime, such as a more positive attitude from planning committees.

episode Ep 6 - Birchgrove cover

Ep 6 - Birchgrove

In episode six, Victoria Hughes-Barker [https://www.mills-reeve.com/people/victoria-hughes-barker/], knowledge lawyer in the real estate team, speaks to Marcus Hodges, chief operating officer at Birchgrove, about senior living as a solution to the housing crisis. With 2/3 of over 65’s having 2 empty bedrooms on average, Marcus discusses whether improving availability of and access to senior living options could free up existing homes to the market – benefiting the environment – and assisting with the housing crisis. Marcus’s key points for the new housing minister: * Normalise senior living as a supportive, stress-free option for over-65s, similar to the US and New Zealand. * Address regulatory burdens to allow more focus on resident care and provide certainty to ensure timely, budget-friendly development.Give senior living a voice and increase recognition and understanding of senior living’s community benefits – they aren’t care homes!

episode Ep 5 - Strategic Land Group cover

Ep 5 - Strategic Land Group

In episode five, Graham Collier [https://www.mills-reeve.com/people/graham-collier], development lawyer at Mills & Reeve, speaks to Paul Smith, managing director at Strategic Land Group. Speaking from the point of view of a promoter, Paul considers how the broader planning system and processes involved with it (including the adoption of local plans) have reduced the number of housing developments being brought forward – and where the current proposals leave us. While the plans are a definite positive step forward, there are a number of areas where further information will be necessary in order to understand exactly how they will work, and whether they go far enough, with Paul’s wish list including: * Detail around transitional arrangements for moving to the new proposed housing target calculations. * More information on Brownfield Passports – which could help to unlock planning on sites where certain criteria are met. * Proposals which ensure landowners are sufficiently incentivised when benchmarking land values, so they don’t stop bringing land forward. * The planning system being fine-tuned and streamlined, removing unnecessary barriers for bringing proposals forward (for example with outline planning), and taking the burden off local authority planning departments. * Plans for reinvigorating the local plan system, so that they’re adopted more quickly – and pushing on with national development management policies.

He was later asked to lead the creation of the NPPG and originated the Garden Communities programme. Hear Matthew’s views on: * The origins of our current housing crisis. * The positive steps from the new Government (including the reversal of nimbyism policies). * The bold changes he’d like to see in terms of county level strategic plans, garden villages and making it easier to acquire land at low cost.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
