Brilliant read, so many good points made. 'Fear of using energy' is driving Britain into the ground when 'creating lots of cheap clean energy' makes so much more sense. And yes I think we are lucky central heating is not a new idea or it would prob be banned! 👍👍👍
My view is this all comes back to the current planning system including the way that developers have to pay financial contributions (S106 & CIL) which is so often wasted. I know of a village crossroads that is having £5.5m spent on it from developer contributions, it will have no improvement on traffic flow and will just be a visual improvement. Millions of pounds are wasted that could actually be put in to a better product for home buyers.
The planning system also needs to stop being like going to the casino, the high risk creates demands for higher rewards and the team producing the information for the application demand higher fees.
In short, make it cheaper to get planning and I think the product will improve.
