MASSIVE HIKE IN HOUSEBUILDING FOR
THE SOUTH EAST?
A
Government-commissioned report published on Tuesday 18th July
puts forward options for increases in housebuilding up to 60 per cent
above
levels proposed in the South East Plan.
That would
imply up to 340,000 extra
homes in
CPRE’s South East Regional Director
Edward Dawson said: ‘A house
building level of over 30,000 new homes per year would change the
region for
all time – and greatly for the worse. The capacity and the desire to do
it just
isn’t there.
‘The
South East stands on a
precipice. It can either go for all
out growth, as is suggested by the consultants who wrote this report,
or it can
choose a more sustainable route.’
The
South East Regional Assembly has also
issued a strong protest. [3]
The
new report considers options for
building between 4,100 more homes a year and 17,100 over and above the
28,900
per year set out in the current draft of the South East Plan.
The
consultants’ report, commissioned by
Secretary of State Ruth Kelly’s Department for Communities and Local
Government
and the Government Office South East, comes at a critical time for the
South
East Plan, which will shape the region’s development for the next two
decades.
A
public consultation deadline ends on
Friday this week. There will be an Examination in Public starting in
November
before a Panel of Inspectors. The South East Plan will be finalised in
2007,
with Government effectively having the last word on its contents.
Edward
Dawson said: ‘The Assembly
carefully considered options for growth before submitting their draft
plan to
the Government and for public consideration. There really is a limit to
the
amount of development the South East should be expected to take.
‘The
Government should look at the
potential and resources across
Consultants
Roger Tym & Partners were
commissioned to examine options for additional housebuilding in the
region
‘above and beyond those put forward in the South East Plan’, with input
from
senior civil servants from several departments.
The
new options are based on two ‘go for
growth’ approaches. In one there is no constraint on the growth in the
number
of households in the region. In the other, the number of new homes is
dictated
entirely by the rising number of jobs.
