Of people and cities

Article Abstract:

A number of property professionals met for a debate on housing issues. BG Property National Sales Manager John Ireland pointed out local authorities are making too many extra demands on developers in return for planning permission. Berkely Group Managing Director Tony Pidgley suggested the planning system should be reviewed as it can take up to three years to obtain permission. Shadow Minister for Local Government and Housing Neil Waterson pointed out the government had failed to award the additional funds necessary to comply with the Urban Task Force Report.
