Keir Starmer Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov Our story is now on the cover of the The New Statesman. It’s not just us. This is happening all over the UK. The government is pushing to build 1.5 million homes. But what’s the point of building if not even Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, will protect the buyers?

Many people do not realise that a private company can obtain compulsory purchase powers under the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects scheme so, if you are in the way of some corporate wishing to feather its nest and enrich its shareholders at your expense, beware.

New research from the Home Builders Federation highlights that lack of resources in local authorities and lack of a clear, standard process are key causes to delays in the delivery of new homes, not nature. So why is nature being used as a scapegoat? 🤔 (1/2)

It's going to take more than a couple of new reservoirs to prevent the UK's coming water crisis writes hydrologist Hannah Cloke - we need to rethink how we build homes & communities to avoid a future of alternating flood & drought: theconversation.com/englands-water…

Rayner housing blitz will flood Britain with ‘soulless settlements’, says Kevin Hollinrake MP "In its current state, the Bill will encourage isolation and break up communities. It won’t connect or empower people. It won’t help nature flourish or build beautiful houses that people

Quite. Because the Affordable Housing Programme isn’t about social housing - that’s a tiny percentage of what it delivers. Mostly it is just unaffordable ‘affordables’ such as rent capped at 80% of market or shared ownership with all its hidden and escalating charges

Surprise!! 14 Thanet beaches are closed after sewage discharges overnight. FOURTEEN!! That’s tourism dead for the weekend then…

Absolutely horrendous statistic. We lose our farmland and food security at our own peril.

There is something very wrong with National Grid's energy projects. They pick the most serene beautiful places possible and dump their infrastructure. This is Sea Link Kent.

150,000 hectares more to be lost by 2050, according to DEFRA That is why we need the Homes for Everyone approach instead homesforeveryone.org #GreenfieldLast CommunityPlanningAlliance 🦇🦎

Thanet’s environment & wildlife continues to be under extreme pressure. Not only losing 700 ha’s to housing but now National Grid UK plan to construct a massive converter station impacting our most precious habitats. Register to have your say by Monday 23rd . Info in comments.

Landscape strategy here in the local plan aims to conserve the sense of tranquility, dark skies,the intact undeveloped rural character, the long views. What’s the point of agreeing a local plan when National Grid UK can then destroy what precious little we have? EFRA Committee

This gives an idea of the scale of building in the small district of Thanet. Land for 450 houses (Margate). The farmer was a tenant. The local plan is for 16700 more, mostly on grade1 agricultural land. Much of the land is tenanted so farmers have no say.

And so we need nowhere near the 380,000 homes a year + new towns the government is intent on building . We only need 120,000 homes per annum. (And not one of those needs to be on greenfield. We have 3.5m alternatives homesforeveryone.org) From telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/2…

Everyone who cares about #Kent should read & object by 2/7/25 #BrooklandsFarm 1,350 houses , industrial area , 2 schools (Are there the teachers to fill them ?) 4 storey buildings , #foodsecurity & #sewage for a start ..
