Reeves first announcement, plus onshore wind farms.
Not sure how you force a builder not to slow down completions so supply doesn’t exceed demand. |  |

Forced? I'd volunteer. |
Been there, done that, not a good experience and with some suspicions of health issues attached too. |  |

Gas, electricity, water, drainage? What do they all have in common? |

We could consider allowing local authorities to build new social housing , with a percentage available for sale at a full market rate, but suspect that would be too socialist for this government. |
I would look at Babergh and Mid Suffolks attempt in Cork lane Hadleigh. Could have sold the plots to a developer for circa 2m but decided that they could make more by developing themselves. Problem is they don't know how to develope and are on course to make a 1m loss.
Now looking to raise funds by charging extra for certain services. Government run things very rarely run well imo.
That being said even the government can't be worse than the current water company fiasco. Sooner that is sorted the better. [Post edited 9 Jul 2024 8:06]

Any Government whoever it is should first consider where they build and also make sure house builders are made to landscape where they build and that the infrastructure to deal with the extra people is available. But of course they won't as they are like headless chickens. They are blinkered and only see building x amount of houses per year as resolving the problem of young people unable to afford a property when really the problem is and has been that wages, except for boardroom members have lagged way behind the increases in housing . Also allowing Chinese, Russian and other billionaires to buy up properties in London and then leave them empty until a few years later they can sell them for a few million more make outlying areas housing more expensive as commuters and the like find it cheaper to buy within adequate rail/road links. |
Planning permission routinely comes with requirements about all those things. | | | |

When electricity and gas were nationalised, they were run very well, and there was a national strategy.
But local authorities forced to make investments to make up for cuts in funding is a different matter. |  | | |
