A sign being two millimetres too small has nothing - nothing at all - to do with 'building safety'. The Building Stoppage Regulator (Est. 2022) needs abolishing.
British govt should go full Manhattan Project on Oxford-Cambridge arc. 10x both science parks in size, including special ARIA and DSTL zones. Militarise them for national security and for defence tech integration. Grow the cities to 1m population each by 2050 (mostly internal…
Nothing under the sun needs to be ugly. As a culture, as a society we can stop choosing it.

There's something so likeable and inspiring about that recommended reading list that came with The Sims. It's the idea that so much thought went into the game and that, like the game itself, it seems to hum with a sense of *possibility*. The titles themselves are so interesting.
This is absolutely right. The current planning system reinforces the plc housebuilders' oligopoly, making it difficult for SMEs to scale. That's why planning reform is necessary—we need more competition.

Precisely. And that will only come by de-risking planning. This need not mean “a bonfire of the regulations.” It just means establishing clearer & locally acceptable requirements for intensification & growth do that a far, far wider range of individuals & firms can create homes…
The thing is, we're way too reliant on big housebuilders to deliver the homes we need. Of course they'll say that planning reform isn't the main issue because—to them—it's not. What we need is diversification: 3,000 developers building 100 homes; not 30 companies building 10,000.
