Cameron changes planning laws to get 200000 starter homes built

The Prime Minister will use his keynote speech to the Conservative Party conference in Manchester on Wednesday to announce a “national crusade” to get homes built, setting out his ambition to turn “generation rent” into “generation buy”.

However, Corbyn’s spokesman has defended his leader and said that the personal attack made by the PM on Corbyn was an indication of insecurity caused to Cameron as the Labour Party seems to re-energise once again.

Mr Cameron’s pitch is likely to have more in common with Tony Blair than did last week’s speech by new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

It will single out housing as an area where his government has so far failed to deliver, with people under 40 struggling to buy homes.

The government is set to amend planning policy to encourage developers to build affordable housing to meet heavy demand – part of the Conservative Party’s drive to shed its image as a party that looks after only the rich and privileged, and to attract support from lower earners.

In a speech aimed at calming Eurosceptic members of his ruling Conservative Party, Cameron also tried to shape his vision for his second term – to tackle poverty, inequality and offer security to build a “greater Britain”.

“The real answer to the refugee crisis lies in helping countries like Syria become places where people actually want to live”, he said.

“Increasing home ownership means something else”. We are replacing them with new rules.

The Prime Minister’s Office said that the new inspection regime would apply to an estimated 5,000 religious institutions offering eight or more hours of study a week to children in England, including Christian Sunday schools and Jewish yeshivas as well as up to 2,000 madrassas.

Cameron is to relax rules compelling property developers to build affordable homes, allowing them to build homes for purchase rather than only for rent as now required. We, the state, are their parents and what are we setting them up for?

But housing charity Shelter said someone would need an annual income of £76,957 in London, or £50,266 in the rest of the country, to buy a starter home – well above the average wages.

“Because we know this; nothing is written”.

“For years politicians have talked about building “affordable homes” – but the phrase was deceptive”.

‘It basically means ones that were only available for rent. We’ve proved it in our schools across our country; that the poorest children don’t have to get the worst results, they can get the best.
