Housing market dysfunction is perhaps the most important public policy challenge facing the UK today , writes Andrew Keen .
Keen: scarcity of developable land bids up prices, reduces competition, and prevents smaller developers from entering the housing market.
Keen proposes a flat rate developer charge, set locally, to replace Section 106 Agreements a discretionary system that fails to see local communities gain significantly from new development.
We endorse wholeheartedly a move towards a rules-based, zoned regime, whereby planning applications which conform to certain regulations and design requirements do not require further permissions from the state to be built.
We propose to pilot such a regime first in cities the places of highest demand, and where the economic benefit of increased housing supply will be most magnified.
