Get on our land is a new Inside Housing campaign. Its aim is simple: to free up land on which to build homes.
Campaign aims
- To sign up 100 supporting organisations, each committing to do everything they can to increase the supply of land on which to build homes throughout the UK
- To work with our readers to produce a charter outlining ways of easing housing land supply throughout the UK
- To encourage UK councils to identify all surplus public assets in their areas, including those suitable for housing development, in line with imminent guidance from the Communities and Local Government department’s capital and assets pathfinder programme
How to get involved
- Pledge your support by signing our petition
- Encourage others to do the same, particularly if you’re a council driving the strategic housing vision in your area
- Send us your examples of successful schemes so that we can share what works when it comes to bringing difficult sites forward for housing development. Email caroline.thorpe@insidehousing.co.uk
