We are delighted to announce we have had over 100 members join the RPG on Day 1 🚀 Interested? DM us!

Delighted to join the The Representative Planning Group Representative Planning Group Advisory Board - a great cross-party initative. Looking forward to working on the ways we can also give a voice to the silent majority who support the delivery of new homes in their community #planning #homes

In less than 24 hours of launching, the RPG has hit 200 members! Our takeaway? People are fed up of a planning system that only listens to the angriest 2%

We need to amplify the voices of those who want housing. The Representative Planning Group working on a cross-party basis will help make that happen. We must build 👇

Our planning system works best when it helps unlock the high-quality homes people need at pace. The Representative Planning Group is about making that happen - with fairness, balance, and the evidence to get Britain building again. I am pleased to have been appointed to its advisory board.

In a Vancouver study, only 38% of self-selecting respondents supported new housing on a local site. But in a representative survey, support shot up to 65%. That's a 27-point gap in favour of building when you ask everyone - not just the noisiest few.

Interesting piece in MaidenheadAdvertiser on the cross-party work of The Representative Planning Group. We want to give the pro housebuilding majority their voice. We have to build 👇maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/news/council-a…

The vocal minority whom engage with the current planning system are not reflective of the diverse views of our communities. We should build a more representative planning structure which broadens engagement, unlocking desperately needed homes and growth. The Representative Planning Group

Good piece in the MaidenheadAdvertiser on the exciting work of The Representative Planning Group and Jack Rankin MP 🇬🇧 involvement. People appear to want to attack me (us) for building homes locally. Thanks for burnishing the CVs 👇

In life, the answer you get depends on who you ask. In Vancouver, only 38% of self-selecting respondents backed new homes on a local site. But when a representative survey was held, support rose to 65%. In City A.M., I make the case for The Representative Planning Group👇 cityam.com/the-silent-maj…

A must read. Fascinating. Anyone that has sat on a planning committee would be able to relate to the notion of unrepresentative loud samples.

Most people are supportive of things being built near them - they just need to be spoken to and engaged with. I have written for the The Times and The Sunday Times on why Britain isn’t as anti-development as politicians often assume: thetimes.com/life-style/pro…

Most voters in swing seats support new housing in their areas. New Public First research with 150+ voters in Selby and Buckingham & Bletchley finds: - A quiet majority want more homes - NIMBYs are a sizeable minority - Many simply don’t care publicfirst.co.uk/practising-yim…

1/ Big episode of The Abundance Agenda this week! 🚇 The wild complexity of HS2 tunnels 🏪 Is the tyranny of Sunday Trading about to end? 🏠 Plus Simon Dudley 🧢 from The Representative Planning Group on winning planning fights and the behind the scenes impact of Ebbsfleet’s ‘jumping spiders’.

All voices, not just the loudest and best funded, must be heard in planning and DCO consultation. I questioned the interim Chief Planning Inspector on her views 👇 The Representative Planning Group Simon Clarke

This is a great summary of the steps taken in New Zealand to increase housing supply, and the lessons we can learn for England. At its core is a simple premise - if the planning system allows permission for more homes in a predictable way, then more will be built.

The Representative Planning Group Social Kick Off, 7.45pm. Conservative YIMBY 🧢 members will be here with cross-party & industry allies for a good time. The united mission is simple: if only objectors speak up, you get objector-led results. So we need to empower the silent majority to engage in planning.
