That 15 years of stagnation? Interacts poorly with this quasi-tax structure. Wouldn't have done that.
This is clearly depressing and radicalising in a way a tax wouldn't have been.

It is more expensive to build on previously-developed land than greenfield. A new tax on housebuilding (Building Safety Levy) was meant to have a lower rate for it.
One problem: the discount is defined in a way that rules out almost all brownfield sites.

The Building Safety Levy is broken
Badly drafted regulations will make building on brownfield much harder

The Government have come up with another new tax proposal that will make it harder to build where they most need to.
Are supermarkets, industrial estates, and railway sidings 'brownfield land'?
The answer is no.
At least that's what the Government's definition for a new tax on housebuilding says.
Our campaign director Sam Richards explains.

I am consistently amazed the Building Safety Regulator isn’t a much bigger story. It’s brought house building in London to a total halt, but it’s also brought cladding remedy works to a halt, too. Which is costing leaseholders FORTUNES, halting sales, and leaving people living in unsafe buildings.
... at the Building Safety Regulator - which has lead to 9 month delays at this stage alone:
