We are asking Londoners to challenge politicians, the media + other commentators. This is not about 'build baby build'. It's about making housing affordable again. That cannot be done simply by building houses. See our Letter to London (6/6)

This approach is a lose-lose-lose scenario. We lose our countryside. We fail to solve the housing crisis. We ignore opportunities for inner city regeneration. Join our free webinar on 13th November to find out out more (5/6)

#Enfield's build-rate has been under 1,000 dwellings pa recently. It will be 10 years before current planning permissions are built + another 10 before other #brownfield sites have been used. There is no need to build on the #GreenBelt + it won't solve the housing crisis... (4/6)

There is huge amounts of #brownfield land in #Enfield lying idle, such as the Meridian Water development. London boroughs have already granted planning permission for almost 300,000 homes in London that are yet to be built. In Enfield that number is around 8,000-10,000... (3/6)

#Enfield's #HousingCrisis isn't about the number of homes, it's about lack of #AffordableHousing. Building new housing does not bring down house prices, get people out of temporary accommodation, bring down private rents, tackle unsafe conditions or solve overcrowding... (2/6)

Building more homes, especially high-cost ones on #GreenBelt land, won’t solve the affordable housing crisis. Please help us challenge the ‘housebuilding’ narrative by sharing the facts. See our letter to London below. (2/2)

The Government’s planning laws will damage the #GreenBelt and will not solve the #HousingCrisis. Read why, and how building on more places such as car parks instead could help. (3/3)

But there are other places where many of these #homes could go. In nearby #Crawley and #Horsham carparks occupy 35 hectares of land, which could be used to build 3,500 homes at medium density, according to the Parkulator tool:

But there are other places that could be built on instead. In Stoke, for example, carparks occupy some 29 hectares. On this area you could build 2,900 homes at medium density, according to the Parkulator tool: open-innovations.github.io/parkulator/

One such site is a proposal for 138 homes outside #Baddeley, a village 4 miles outside #Stoke. It is an a largely rural ward, which has been earmarked for around 5,000 homes (2/4)
