Property without politics? 

Toby Lambert, Head of Residential Development (East) at Carter Jonas looks ahead to this 

year’s General Election and why the development industry will be a key battleground. 

The position of the two main political parties could not be more diametrically 

opposed: Labour as YIMBYs, Conservatives as NIMBYs; Labour in support of Green 

Belt release, Conservatives opposed; Labour committed to housebuilding targets for 

both market and social/affordable housing, Conservatives blocking development 

through indecision and delay. 

This contrast is exemplified in the fact that housebuilding was a major focus of 

Labour’s autumn conference, whereas it was notably absent from the Conservatives’ 

conference agenda. 

The need for change 

Most of us in the development industry recognise the need for change. As the 

Home Builders Federation (HBF) says, introducing its recent report Firmer 

Foundations, “The UK is in the midst of a housing crisis, where politics has too 

often got in the way of practical solutions”. 

Its ten-point plan for government action states that England is the hardest place in 

the developed world to find a home, with the lowest rates of vacant homes across 

all OECD nations. 

Despite there being a demand for change, however, I am beginning to question 

whether politics is the force to bring it about. Should something as important as a 

home become a political football, with approaches to development radically shifting 

with political whim or a change of government, and should the output of the 

development industry be so intrinsically linked to politicians’ and pundits’ desire to 

talk up or down the housing crisis? 

It was over a year ago, following a rebellion by backbench 

Conservative MPs, that Michael Gove promised to make 

government-set housing targets more flexible. The statement 

resulted in many local authorities stalling their local plans in 

anticipation of further clarification - clarification which is still 

awaited. And whilst the new NPPF shows that we delivered 

232,820 net additional dwellings in 2021/2022, this still falls short 

of the Government’s stated target of 300,000 homes to be built year 

on year from 2025. 

The shortage of consented land is compounded by delays in the 

planning system – the latter the result of the failure to resolve the 

nutrient neutrality problem, the under-resourcing of local planning 

authorities and the inertia in local plan production, especially in 

authorities dependent on Green Belt release for growth. 

The impact on the development industry is intense competition 

for available land, with higher bids than anticipated and less of 

a variance between conditional and unconditional offers. This 

immediately factors into viability assessments. 

In some cases, it dilutes the quality of new communities or substantially reduces 

the benefits that can be provided – from open spaces and community infrastructure 

to social/affordable housing, and it invariably perpetuates house price rises. 

With the PLC housebuilders competing for smaller sites than before, SME 

housebuilders are often priced out of the market. Unsurprisingly, the HBF despairs 

of a housing crisis, ‘decades in the making’. 

In part, a consequence of slower development; in part a consequence of increased 

house prices and increased mortgage rates, sales rates are currently as low as 0.5 

sales per week per operational outlet compared to an average of 1.5. This then 

impacts the financing of development schemes, which is already stretched by the 

considerable hike in interest rates. 

With each of these factors the result of recent political decisions, I believe the 

argument in favour of separating land from politics has never been more valid. 

There are many levels on which this could occur, and in doing so substantially 

benefit the functioning of the sector and the supply of new homes. 

A long-term approach to land assembly 

Land assembly is a long-term process which invariably extends beyond a single 

political term. But the release of land must be a continual process – not one to be 

delayed because greater restrictions on the Green Belt (under the Conservatives) 

might raise values or rushed through because the potential for CPO by Local 

Authorities (under Labour) might reduce values. 

Strategic planning should operate outside the remit of local authorities, the elected 

members of which are too easily swayed by constituents’ sentiment, especially in 

the run-up to an election. 

Consistency in planning gain 

Greater clarification and consistency are required over the provision of community 

benefits, social/affordable housing, biodiversity net gain and the many other 

demands made on developers throughout the planning process – demands which 

have the potential to threaten the viability of an entire scheme when announced at 

a late stage in its conception. 

The proposed Infrastructure Levy is probably not the ideal – not least because 

being determined by development profits – it cannot be budgeted for and therefore 

considerably increases uncertainty. 

Greater consistency in housebuilding input can only be achieved through greater 

consistency in the requirements made of developers. 

Objectivity in decision-making 

The developer’s utopia would include the abolition of planning committees. This 

would deliver the much-needed separation of development from local politics 

and an increased consistency and transparency in planning decisions, based on 

universal, objective principles. 

The policies need not be put in place by the Secretary of State as is currently the 

case with the NPPF (although that said, at the time of writing, the revisions first 

proposed a year ago are yet to be implemented) - but might be better drawn up by 

nationally based arms-length organisation. 

While the Regional Spatial Strategies of the early 2000s were far from utopia, the 

majority of the development industry would, I believe, agree that they are the 

closest we have been to achieving utopia when it comes to allocating land for 

development, and that coupled with the ‘zoning’ process that is proven to work in 

other countries, may provide the best solution to date. 

Longevity and political separation in planning principles 

This process would have the further benefit of allowing policies to extend beyond 

a five-year parliamentary term, as is necessary for example in implementing a 

wholescale review of the Green Belt, establishing investment zones or New Towns, 

or of any development reliant on new transport infrastructure. 

The positive elements of politics 

With the development industry representing such a large portion of the UK 

economy, the variance in economics, market forces and social demands would 

mean that politics could not be disassociated from the sector entirely. 

The involvement of politics would be largely fiscal – for example, in providing 

initiatives for first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder or incentivise 

downsizing through Stamp Duty reductions. Both are crucial to re-starting the market 

after a slow-down but may require a shorter-term, closely monitored application 

which does not create a disruptive bump in the market (as was said of Help to Buy). 

A single initiative to encourage baby boomers to downsize could release trillions of 

pounds of equity from homes, ultimately cascading down to ensure we stimulate 

the market from the bottom up. 

Conclusion – is politics-free development a reality? 

Within its first 100 days, the 1997 Labour Government took interest rates out of 

politics. This move was previously unimaginable – although it has largely been seen 

as successful. Could a 2024 Labour Government take planning out of politics? 

Perhaps not – not because it would be impossible to do so, but because the Labour 

Party is intent on resolving the housing crisis, and to succeed in doing so would not 

only be an unparalleled achievement but would almost certainly guarantee a second 

term. 

However, elements of the planning system, as we saw with Labour’s Regional 

Spatial Strategies and Regional Assemblies, can be successfully disentangled from 

politics to the advantage of all involved, politicians included.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS 

Transforming your home on a budget 

SAY HELLO TO ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIVING IN 

NEWNHAM ON SEVERN, FOWNHOPE, ST WEONARDS & CREDENHILL 

The post-Christmas period often leaves homes feeling uninspiring, void of festive 

charm. Yet, transforming your interior need not be a financial burden. Our 

designers share invaluable tips on how to breathe new life into your home without 

breaking the bank. 

Mix things up 

Firstly, embrace change by clearing surfaces of holiday decorations, providing a blank 

slate for redecoration. This not only aids in decluttering but also reveals opportunities to 

introduce vibrancy through affordable art. You could explore affordable prints online at 

@Kingandmcgaw to add a touch of personality to your space. 

Embrace the power of paint 

A cost-effective way to breathe 

life into interiors is through the 

transformative power of paint. 

While professional assistance is 

recommended, even DIY enthusiasts 

can undertake projects with just the 

essential tools. Boldly experiment 

with colours, stepping outside your comfort zone. Limewash paints, like those from 

@bauwerkcolour, offer a budget-friendly means to achieve a stylish Venetian plaster

aesthetic, complete with online tutorials for easy application. 

Greenery takes centre stage 

Following the departure of Christmas foliage, consider incorporating greenery into your 

space. Plants not only bring psychological benefits but also add visual interest. If you lack 

green fingers fear not; there are low-maintenance options available. Alternatively, explore 

the world of faux plants and flowers, where brands like @Haox and @fakeitflowers offer 

realistic alternatives

Notable architectural features include its tall red brick 

chimney stacks 

hallway leads from the kitchen to a further utility room, which gives access to 

a conservatory, which leads out to the garden. There are steps down from the 

hallway to a wine cellar with a barrel roof and an original slab worktop. 

Upstairs there are five double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate 

cloakroom next door. The bedrooms include a delightful principal suite with 

a built-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom, which can also be accessed 

from the landing. One of the other, lovely bedrooms enjoys a long distance 

outlook towards the River Severn, taking in the two Severn bridges. Another 

has outstanding views from its large sash window towards Itton Court. “We 

call it the Itton Room, because of the views.” Each of these rooms has a pretty 

Victorian cast iron fireplace with a wood surround. 

A quintessential Victorian vicarage, five-bedroom Church House sits in 

private, mature grounds of just over an acre on the edge of the Wye Valley 

village of St Arvans, enjoying uninterrupted views over open countryside 

to the rear. 

This handsome and substantial, stone-built former rectory has been home to the 

Davies family for the past 40 years. “Mum and Dad bought it at auction when 

the Church in Wales were selling it. It was built as the St Arvans vicarage in the 

late 1800s and we have the architect’s drawings on the wall. When they bought 

it, part of the covenant demanded that the name had to be changed – so they 

called it Church House.” 

One of the most distinctive houses in St Arvans, Church House enjoys a prime 

position in the village’s pretty and peaceful historic heart, across the road from 

the Norman church and within a Conservation Area. A sweeping driveway, 

approached through a fine wrought iron gate with cast iron gate posts, leads 

up to the front of the impressive property. Built of rubblestone under a slate 

roof, notable architectural features include its tall red brick chimney stacks and 

the Bath stone dressings around the windows. The property is surrounded by 

lovingly cared-for, mature grounds, which include a paddock, a tennis court, 

original Victorian outhouses and a coach house. 

Aura of an era 

Sharon Chilcott discovers a lovely village home that is 

full of period charm and original features. 

The family think the smallest of the bedrooms may well have originally been 

servants’ quarters as it is at the end of the house where a second staircase leads 

up from the back hallway. This room has a charming cast iron fireplace set into 

one corner and stairs from one side of the room lead up to a boarded attic. 

Get the Lifestyle 

Church House, St Arvans, Monmouthshire now comes to the market for the first time in 

40 years and for only the second time as a private home. It is on the market for a guide 

price of £1,500,000 with Fine & Country, 2 Agincourt Square, Monmouth Tel: 01600 

775930 www.fineandcountry.co.uk 

Inside, Church House is full of unspoilt period charm, with elegant, high-ceilinged 

rooms, picture rails, classic Victorian cornicing, traditional doors and attractive, 

original fireplaces. A beautiful, part-glazed wooden door in a large glazed 

archway opens from an open-fronted porch to a light and spacious L-shaped 

hallway with a lovely tessellated tile floor. There is a charming fireplace across 

one corner and an oak staircase leading to the first floor. 

The property has three elegant reception rooms, including a formal dining room 

with a handsome stone fireplace and French doors, set in a bay, leading out to a 

York stone terrace and giving views over the garden to the countryside beyond. 

The lovely, spacious room has hosted many happy family gatherings, including 

annual Christmas dinners. “We would have big family get-togethers and the table 

would sit about 15 and then we’d have another table for the children.” 

Next door to the dining room is a wonderful drawing room, whose host of 

original features include another attractive stone fireplace. The room has a large 

bay, inset with French doors. There is also a cosier reception room, used as a 

snug, which has a large sash window enjoying views over the back garden. It 

features a built-in bookshelf with low level cupboards along one wall and boasts 

a pretty cast iron fireplace with tiled sides and a wood surround. 

From the front of the hallway a door opens to a family dining area which has 

been opened up to the large kitchen to provide the heart of the home. There 

is quarry tiled flooring throughout and the dining area has a Victorian cast iron 

fireplace with a decorative wood surround. The former fireplace in the kitchen 

area now houses an Aga and the kitchen is fitted with traditional, hand-built 

pine cupboards, There is also the bonus of a large walk-in larder. Off the kitchen 

is a utility room with a door to the garden and to a courtyard with a range of 

traditional Victorian outbuildings, now used as a tool shed and bin store. A back

“Transform Your Living Space: Embrace the Future 

with Smart Home Technology” 

In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern living, the integration of smart home 

technology has become synonymous with convenience, efficiency, and security. 

There are an estimated 2.22 million smart homes in the UK. A survey last October 

found that 57% of homes now contain a smart device. More than 1 in 6 of us control 

our smart devices from outside our home daily. In this blog, we explore the benefits of 

smart home technology and unveil the top ten applications that can elevate your home 

to new heights of intelligence. 

Benefits of Smart Home Technology 

Energy Efficiency 

Smart solutions enable you to monitor and control your 

home’s energy usage efficiently and from anywhere in the 

world. Smart thermostats, automated window coverings, 

and energy-efficient windows collaborate to create an ecofriendly 

environment, resulting in lower energy bills. 

Security Reinvented 

Bolster the security of your home with smart windows and 

doors, integrated with advanced security systems. Smart 

locks, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors can be 

easily controlled and monitored through your smartphone, 

providing real-time updates and peace of mind. 

Convenient Automation 

Simplify your daily routine with the automation of various tasks. With smart lighting 

and appliance control, your home becomes an intuitive, self-regulating ecosystem. 

They make your home look occupied when it is not and optimise energy usage. 

Integration with Voice Assistants 

Seamlessly connect your appliances with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa 

or Google Assistant. Control your home environment with simple voice commands, 

adding an extra layer of accessibility. 

Top Ten Smart Home Applications 

Smart Lighting 

Illuminate your home intelligently with smart lighting systems that adapt to your 

preferences, enhance ambiance, and contribute to energy savings. Companies like Kasa 

provide plugs, extension cable and bulbs that can be controlled via their mobile phone 

app. These are a great way of making your home look occupied even when it is not and 

creates a more comfortable, welcoming ambiance. Practically it also means that you can 

turn upstairs lights on before you go upstairs, reducing the likelihood of you lighting 

rooms or floors when they are not occupied. 

Thermostat Control 

Optimize your home’s temperature with smart thermostats, learning your habits to 

create a comfortable environment while reducing energy consumption. According to 

the Energy Saving Trust, turning your thermostat down by just one degree can cut bills 

by about £145 a year, which is around 4-5%. Smart thermostats controlled by mobile 

phone apps also mean that you can turn the temperature down when you are out of the 

home and turn it back up before you return. 

Automated Window Coverings/blinds 

Automated blinds or curtains, allowing you to control natural light and privacy 

effortlessly. You can ensure they are up when the sun is shining to benefit from any 

solar gain and down to reduce heat loss when it is dark or cloudy. 

Smart Security Systems 

Fortify your home with smart security cameras, doorbell cameras, and motion 

sensors that keep you connected and protected, even when you’re away. The level of 

sophistication of even self-installed systems has increased significantly in recent years 

and most are compatible with some form of mobile app. 

Smart Locks and Sensors 

Upgrade your home’s security with smart locks and sensors allow you to monitor 

and in some cases control access remotely. Never again will you leave home, lock the 

door, and wonder two minutes later whether you had locked your windows or doors. 

Glevum are due to launch a range of Smart Doors and Windows which will allow you 

to monitor if they are closed, open and even locked, via the associated Smart App. This 

offers real-time monitoring, will alert you if you leave any door or window unlocked 

and gives you a history of when any doors or windows have been locked or unlocked. 

Smart Home Hubs 

Centralise control with a smart home hub that acts as a command centre, facilitating 

communication between various smart devices. These can also divert traffic off Wi-Fi 

or Bluetooth, easing network congestion. With all the smart home devices connected in 

the home, users can also remotely access the various systems and control them while 

away from home with their smart home app. 

Voice-Activated Assistants 

Integrate voice-activated assistants with your smart devices for hands-free control of 

your smart home devices, enhancing accessibility and convenience. Alexa it is estimated 

is used in 46% of UK homes but Siri (Apple) and Google Assistant are also popular. 

Smart Appliances 

From refrigerators to ovens, smart appliances offer enhanced functionality and 

efficiency, providing you with a more connected and streamlined kitchen. Fridges 

can allow you to literally see what is inside from your 

mobile phone, monitor use by dates and even make recipe 

suggestions based upon the contents. How smart is your 

fridge? 

Smart Home Entertainment 

Create an immersive entertainment experience with smart 

TVs, speakers, and home theatre systems that can be 

seamlessly integrated into your smart home ecosystem. This 

can also include access via multiple devices to any playlist 

you might subscribe to. 

Environmental Monitoring within the home 

Keep tabs on your home’s air quality, humidity, and other 

environmental factors with smart sensors, lets you take action to ensure a healthy and 

comfortable living space. This can be particularly useful for people suffering from 

certain health conditions. 

For those of us old enough to remember the TV programme, this may sound a bit 

Tomorrow’s World, but smart home technology is here today, and it is just a matter of 

to what extent we want to fully utilise this ourselves. If you would like to be notified 

of when Glevum Smart Doors and Windows are available, please contact Glevum on
