The costs also seem very focused on the actual costs at hand for changing buildings with no account taken for delays to build or gumming up the planning system. So. Great. Why recommend doing something so damaging?
Those charts are a hilarious snapshot of where we are in the cycle. 2025 project barely moves but they stick another 25B on 2029 revenue because why not.
Many (1) rent settlements that were too low many as a Tory plan to hold down the more visible housing benefit costs (2) they are hard hit by various grenfell related and other energy efficiency related related requirements that require large capital expenditures when they aren’t taking in enough £.
I’m not sure what you mean? People have different ideas of what BSR reform means sure but genuinely don’t know who you think is hostile to it. I know YIMBYs across the political divide and they all basically despair about BSR and the second stair case stuff. Just both v pointless restrictions.
I honestly don’t know anyone from Yimbyland who doesn’t think the BSR needs real reform but also the government already announced real reform so it’s not really a battle ground issue it’s just consensus that it’s getting done.

The way to fix the social housing problems in this country is to allow councils to hike the rent to market rates (or plausibly even higher? on the people who are earning enough to afford it.
Yeah that feels right that prices are not affected but wind farms are not economical at the market price of electricity (and risk) which is why CFDs exist so it feels like any increase in costs has to come back in the CFD (or possibly lower quantity)
Perhaps but surely this just comes back to the wind farm developers in the cfd prices since they will demand a higher minimum price of their costs are higher.
It just all seems a very pointless merry-go-round. Suppose they win? Then the government loses some money that the government could have anyway chosen to use to subsidise wind power and arguably does through the cfd auctions.
I am Scottish and have lived in London for a decade mate. Also I have made nothing up, you are clearly living in fantasy land on this issue I’m afraid.
