This final paper reflects these suggestions and aims to provide a blueprint for further discussion in the various forums and housing networks with an ambition to make many of the recommendations a reality.
The constant revolving door of Housing Ministers at Westminster is unhelpful so the paper seeks to set policies to align to the longer-term ambition of net zero by 2050 to ensure, that together with the correct housing data, everyone can live in the correct home at every age and stage.
We are extremely grateful to Dame Kate Barker DBE for the Forward to the paper. We have indeed sought to write ‘without fear of vested interests’, with an ‘interesting mix of thoughtful and important recommendations’ and a plea ‘for more joined-up and coherent housing policy’.
We hope you enjoy reading the paper and welcome further dialogue.
