The report itself says "only a quarter (25 percent) of Britons find the idea of moving to a new town appealing ..." (rest are DK)
1 in 4 being at least open to the idea in some way is not a bad starting point but it does also flag challenges when a large % say unappealing.

Amazing to think that the outline application for this was approved by the planning committee over 5 years ago - 5 years to get from outline approval to the details stage

We were trying to get hold of this information in 2023 as we suspected schemes in Enfield were counted as 'starts' when nothing was happening. The next thing people will realise is that they changed the way demolitions are counted to show a greater increase.

The only reason they can claim it is low carbon is because incinerator emissions are not counted locally.
The "leftover heat" is generated due to appalling waste/recycling rates.
