Call You and Yours: Housing in the UK
In this week's phone-in, we鈥檙e talking about housing, and if you鈥檇 welcome new homes being built in your area. Are you a NIMBY or a YIMBY?
It鈥檚 no secret that the UK need more housing, at a lower cost to get people on the housing ladder, and to provide more affordable rent costs.
So would you welcome more housing in your area?
How would you feel about new homes being built around your village, town or city?
Would you rather see them being built elsewhere, or doesn鈥檛 it bother you?
So are you a NIMBY or a YIMBY?
(NIMBY - 'not in my back yard. YIMBY - 'Yes in my back yard)
Labour have announced that they will bring back housebuilding targets in England, plan to 鈥榬ip up鈥� the planning rules to encourage the building of new homes, and will review greenbelt boundaries to prioritise brownfield and "grey belt" land to meet housebuilding targets.
It's part of a plan to build 1.5 million new homes, that will include social housing, and cheaper homes for rent. To hit this level they will need to be building at a rate that was last seen in 1950.
