Recession
•
•
•
•
•
•
Unprecedented decline in values
No new starts in commercial
Housing 30,000/50,000 units???
No bank or housing finance
Share prices halved at best
No understanding yet of when the
market will bottom out or finance
will be available
• Inflation has taken us out of
problems for years, deflation will
highlight them
7
Planning
• Planning process needs change from
adversarial to cooperative
• Need joined up approach with
Government and Local Authorities
• Killian Pretty Review helpful
• Free up the system – 60 years, 944
documents, 800 pages of policy
• More understanding from developers
and more planning personnel required
• Bring certainty to CIL and 106s
• Major Developers Group experience is
that 80% of organisations involved
agree the criteria required
8
Construction
• No more wow factor wiggly wobbly
architecture with strange shapes
• Austerity in the past produced
ingenious designs
• Building inventiveness to move from
Roman style to the modern era of
construction with functionality driving
productivity based on high quality
engineering solutions
• Less red tape, proper time to plan
building construction rather than last
minute
• Less waste, better design, more
efficient construction logistics and
value engineering = 30% cost saving
9
Commercial
• Better product at lower cost
• Cost pressures/quality of life issues
likely to direct more building to
regional hubs
• Transport infrastructure and
development coordinated to reduce
costs and travel – people working in
clusters with no more urban deserts
• Village Green with civic and mixed
use buildings
10
Process
• More competition to improve quality
• Increased civic pride to drive social
and economic change
• Maintain housing construction
capacity and experience
• Sustainability through innovation
not just rules but a system to
encourage new ideas
11
Housing
• Need to have housing land surplus
not deficit to avoid recurrence of
overpriced land
• Put earnings into GDP not land
• Certainty of housing
– Guaranteed delivery
– Wider market supply
(commercial developers,
innovators, as well as house
builders)
12
Conclusion
• Government will need to finance
infrastructure projects and maintain
the housing supply chain
• Partnership between Local
Authorities and developers needed
to improve quality and reduce cost
of process
• Innovation required to produce
better product at lower cost
