Housing need
From "Draft Vision"
Go to the project
People’s housing needs will have been met through the provision of sustainable, high-quality market, affordable and other specialist homes set in beautiful, safe places and conforming to sustainable standards of design and construction.
The focus will have been on making best possible use of brownfield sites in built up areas and large-scale, comprehensively planned new development to ensure our valuable green spaces and highest quality farmland are preserved.
The vital role of the area’s city centre, town centres and high streets will have been improved through careful management of development and land uses.

It should be required that new development provides adequate public transport options based on the number of people living there. At a certain threshold it should be required to have a rail connection. We absolutely can not achieve the future we want with roads choked by private cars.

We need a review of greenbelt allocation to enable housebuilding on land between Cheltenham and Gloucester. There is plenty of land near the airport (and the airport itself) that can easily be built on. There are not enough brownfield sites for us to build enough homes.
You will always face opposition, but it is your duty to build. Under 25 year olds don't stand a chance otherwise.

Thought should be given to creating more beautiful, well-designed places with a consistent high quality design i.e. tree-lined streets, high quality facades of buildings with developers taking into account local heritage, architecture and materials. Too many new developments contain characterless, boring buildings.

Any major urban housing scheme (particularly social housing) should be incentivised to look at district heating solutions as opposed to more gas or individual heat pumps. More attention to ability to cool our buildings and urban zones as warmer weather increases and drainage as rainfall increases.
We also need to see capacity for further electrification (both for consumption and micro generation), quality broadband by default, water and sewage.
Waste and recycling infrastructure also has to mature for these high density areas - cannot keep stacking recycling crates and wheelie bins.
