”People’s opinions are mainly designed to make them feel comfortable; truth, for most people is a secondary consideration.” — Bertrand Russell
Nelson takes a narrow minded approach, essentially blaming Calgary for causing the UCP to propose Bill 20. He must work for the UCP. Here is what the Head of Alberta Municipalities has said about Bill 20. see link below The UCP is playing bully politics against all Alberta Municipalities while it takes in unprecedented Royalty revenue. Most, if not all, Municipalities are struggling with infrastructure investments to address population pressures. Why does the UCP declare war on Alberta Municipalities when a cooperative approach would yield a much better result? https://lnkd.in/gfsnwA8E

🚨 REVEALED 🚨 : What the local election results mean for your planning application. ...and drum roll please.... Nothing. Huh? New political administrations, new councillors, lots of briefings needed - right? No, not really. Ask yourself, are members of planning committees still going to be influenced by NIMBYs? If the answer is 'yes' to this question, then it's 'yes' to the next. Will members of planning committees be influenced by supporters? So your plan to focus on generating meaningful support is still the right one. Unless that's not your plan, in which case.... ... do you think it should be? #planning #housing #realestate

You'll have seen a great deal of analysis on the outcome of last week's election. You probably haven't seen how it has played out across urban and rural areas, and what this might mean for policy. Here's the split in terms of which seats made up the Government in 2019 and today. Main takeaway: it is now both much more urban and much more northern. Northern city MPs have gone from 8 per cent to 23 per cent of all seats the Government holds. Southern hinterland (areas within commutable distance of a city) MPs are down from 27 per cent to 6 per cent. But as the biggest single block, urban southern seats are the largest block (driven by London) - 26 per cent of all government MPs hold a seat in this category. This will likely have implications for how the Government goes about planning reform in particular, not least because of the smaller voice of hinterland areas in the South (where the planning system constrains building the most).

2 May will see the election of 10 metro mayors across England. Where are they happening, what powers do they have, and what will this mean for housing? Our latest blog outlines our 5 key asks for the next metro mayors: – Ensure housing is at the heart of decision-making within their combined authority and work across departments to make housing a top 5 priority. -Better resource local planning departments by improving recruitment and retention and elevating the status of planners. – Incentivise building on brownfield sites, with flexible and long-term funding where required to make this viable, and support for public and private sector partnerships to bring these sites forward. Mayors are well-placed to bring different agencies together across local authority boundaries to take forward larger scale projects. -Support local authorities to work together on strategic reviews of greenbelt land. This may involve building on brownfield sites within greenbelts and/or moving greenbelts further out to allow cities to grow. – Skill up the workforce to deliver and maintain the homes of the future, while creating well-paying jobs for local residents. Mayors can be particularly well-placed to understand the needs of local businesses and the potential of local education and training providers. https://lnkd.in/edrZjey2

Great to see this issue regarding building rising up public debate and gaining national and political prominence Whilst the issues outlined are probably not new to anyone (NIMBYISM, overly complicated planning processes etc) an often overlooked issue is the lack of support provided to local officials who are expected to make these decisions. Local engagement and debate are critical to new developments, but any issues raised needs to be placed into a wider context of area-growth and housing need. This holistic-view needs to be taken by officials and as such, the support provided to enable them to make these decisions. Turley do extensive work in this area and ahead of #localelections in May and a general election this year, it’s important that businesses are prepared for what changes this may bring. Please do get in touch for a discussion on how we can assist. #devlopment #planning #engagement
