    A potential solution to the housing problem, and a case for building houses for the sake of building them?

    If there 600 homes empty, how can they possibly justify building 200 more?

    I've said it before. The UK economy depends on house building so the government will continue to allow/encourage it. Had the economy still been based on the gold standard things would be very different.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    The building industry will come to a shuddering halt once Brexit comes into force - along with agriculture and hospitality, construction has been dependant on central European labour for years.

    A case of a nod to consulting locals, going ahead with the development and dropping the affordable housing half way through building the developmend: https://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/...orth-1-8358487

    The grant basically means the developer & Centrica will have to pay less towards infrastructure, meaning that they get an extra £13.4 million in their back pockets: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-42922377

    Money seems to be being thrown at infrastructure left, right & centre at the minute: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/ne...e-new-14252882

    Money is being thrown at it without any real thought. Easy to do with other people's money though isn't it? The A45 is still a pinch point and this is hardly going to help.
