#PropertyNews The power seems to be getting to them. We would suggest getting their own house in order and setting an example! 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 “𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞” 𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐌𝐎𝐬. ➡ A council is boasting that it’s taking a "really hard line” over HMO regulation. New rules in Blackburn with Darwen prevent family homes from being converted to HMOs without planning permission after councillors voted to support an Article 4 Direction. Before the new regulations were introduced, houses in many parts of the borough could be changed into HMOs without the need for applying for planning permission. Now, they’ll only be allowed as an exception. A council spokesperson says: “We wanted to take a real hard line on HMOs in our borough. Whilst the planning actions taken so far to resist additional HMO approvals in designated areas are considered to have been successful, there have been increasing concerns, from across the Council, that the number of HMO beds in the borough is still growing. Currently, we estimate that there are around 1,000 bed spaces in HMOs here which is far more than our neighbouring boroughs and disproportionate to our local needs.” The council claims that previous Article 4 Directions, introduced in 2013, have proven successful in selected wards across the borough. Now the restrictions have been extended to cover the whole urban area of the borough. The spokesperson continues: “For many owners, the HMOs are incredibly lucrative, but the sheer number of them is having a negative impact on our borough and we knew we needed to take further action to stop that. These new powers mean we can take a much tougher stance on HMOs, which we know can be a magnet for anti-social behaviour and often are in need of improved standards. It’s a really good step in the right direction as we work hard to build healthier, happier and safer communities.” The Council received almost £1m of Government funding to give new ways to help tenants in supported housing along with new enforcement measures and crack down on what it calls “unscrupulous landlords.”

The Liveability and Connection in SEQ and Regional Queensland saw a keynote presentation from the Principal in Commercial Advisory at Aurecon, Robbie Claase. Robbie outlined the challenges faced by those outside of Southeast Queensland’s major hubs. There are significant inequalities when it comes to health, housing, public transport, educational opportunities and more. It is clear that regional Queenslanders find it harder to get a well-recognised degree and qualifications, have seriously limited housing options that also limit employment, are hampered by infrequent and disconnected public transport networks, and often have to drive and then wait far too long for to get critical health appointments. Social infrastructure is fundamental to the wellbeing of Queenslanders, particularly those outside our major cities. The panel session that followed saw Robbie, alongside, the Executive Director at Queensland Health, Paul Emmett, CEO of Gunawuna Jangai Kieran Smith, Founder and Managing Director at National Affordable Housing, Mike Myers, and leader of the IRS Group at DSDILGP, Leah Kelly. Leah expanded on the Big Build and how this aims to provide the jobs, growth and economic prosperity required to improve social infrastructure in the regions, and in SEQ. Over 65% of the spending on the Big Build is in Queensland’s regions. Leah also emphasised the importance of modern methods of construction (MMC) in delivering projects.Following this, Paul outlined the $15 bn investment in health infrastructure and broad range of associated programs and initiatives within ‘the Big Build’. Additional hospitals, staff, beds and medicines in rural Queensland, will alleviate the health inequalities in the regions. Mike began by speaking to the nexus between positive housing outcomes, and education, economic and health outcomes. Poor housing outcomes almost always result in declines across all the other major socioeconomic markers. He also spoke to the increasing proportion of renters and lack of housing affordability across Australia’s economic hubs. To remedy this, Mike emphasised the importance of a ‘build-to-rent’ sector, a major infrastructure investment in housing, bringing private and public capital together in the regions, and to stop relying too much on small communities to raise the necessary funds for such projects. #infrastructure #queensland #regions #connectivity #sustainability #liveability #IAQ #IAQAssembly

Is not the Codes SEPP exactly that: a pattern book for both for low density and medium density housing, that reduces approval and consultation times? The ADG has also been called a pattern book for higher density resi. How will this be different? I'm cautious about complicating the planning system further. You can't speed things up by making the system more complex. But I'm a big fan of everything the Committee does, so I'm reserving judgement until I have more info. However, we might need to have a more difficult collaborative discussion about creating a suite of changes that attacks the problem from both the demand and supply side.

What evidence is there that existing planning schemes can't accommodate this kind of MDH? Our research on Melbourne over a decade ago indicated that there was plenty of capacity within existing planning schemes to accommodate huge quantities of MDH close to good public transport without changes to planning schemes, knocking down heritage-listed structures or building on public open space. I doubt the situation is much different in Sydney. So the question is: if there's capacity in the planning scheme, why isn't the market building it? https://lnkd.in/gUaqDbR6

The Court has today dismissed a claim by the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust against the decision of the Malvern Hills, Wychavon and Worcester Councils to grant planning permission to Welbeck Strategic Land LLP for a significant mixed use development of up to 2,204 dwellings including affordable housing, hotel, school, employment land, health facility and other development. The Trust sought to challenge the decision on 5 separate grounds which were all geared towards a contention that Welbeck should have been required by the Councils to make a section 106 contribution towards acute health care services. The grounds in summary related to allegations of a lack of reasons for rejecting the Trust’s request, inaccurate advice to members regarding the section 106 contributions that had been agreed, a failure to re-open the viability evidence and a failure to have complied with section 100D of the Local Government Act 1972 in respect of making the viability assessments available for disclosure to the public and the Trust in particular. All these grounds were deemed unarguable. The discussion in respect of section 100D is of interest in that the Court accepted that the information had been properly withheld and contrasted the situation from the decision in Holborn Studios v Hackney LB [2021] JPL 17 preferring to rely on (Perry) v London Borough of Hackney [2015] JPL 454. The judgment is of further interest in that it emphasises again that the Trust nor indeed any other party is entitled to contributions unless (a) they have been properly justified pursuant to the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations and (b) having regard to overall viability and other planning imperatives the decision maker considers that they should be required when undertaking the planning balance.

The right outcome. S106 contributions need to be justified and meet the 3 tests.

This new study in #HSR from Tom Byrne, Daniel Miller and Margaret M. C. Thomas PhD assesses the impact of the dollar value of federal low-income housing assistance on adult health outcomes and whether this impact varies across housing assistance programs. What is known: Housing is a key social determinant of health, and federal low-income housing assistance programs are a potentially powerful mechanism to realize improvements in #PopulationHealth. What this study adds: We examine links between health and the dollar value of housing assistance, a potentially critical—but heretofore unexamined—source of variation in housing assistance and its impacts on recipients Conclusion: The relationship between the value of housing assistance and health likely operates via an income effect, wherein receipt of a more valuable benefit frees up resources to spend on needed care. Policy changes to increase the value of housing assistance may have tangible health benefits for tenants receiving housing assistance.
