to develop housing and what the problem is that the infrastructure always followed and what now with the new planning act and the minister chambers proposals for the accelerated infrastructure that infrastructure has to come first in the past we used to this thing that we conflated designation and delivery we thought if you designate land it will deliver and we always missed the bit in the middle which is the enablement and activation and making sure it happens and the infrastructure is in place so that is now built in into the planning act the new planning act
of 2024 has it right in it that the importance of three things water energy and transportation and you cannot get permission to build a scheme if you cannot show that the infrastructure is in place or that it's committed and it's going to happen and the government has never I'm not a spokesman for the government but I was reading a lot about it the accelerated infrastructure

They're sailing away doing untouched one-off houses.
