    • Both the location of new development and the application of building regulations should reduce

    energy consumption and carbon emissions when evaluated in a holistic manner.

    • Experience of innovation in the building process should be widely shared.

    4 Are there enough rungs on the housing ladder?

    • Local letting plans for social housing can reduce conflicts.

    • Sites for new forms of tenure such as co-housing and self-build will foster innovation and community
    building.

    • Market rental has a greater role to play in speeding up occupation.

    Leading the way

    Chapter 3 summarises seven main messages, with recommendations for restoring confidence in the
    housing market and getting development moving towards sustainable communities. It stresses the
    importance of leadership at all levels. The recommendations follow.

    1 Agree the spatial framework


    Agreed regional and subregional spatial and transport investment plans are essential to give confidence to
    developers to bring forward plans for sustainable communities that take years or even decades to come
    to fruition. The report recommends that the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG)
    and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (DBIS) should work with Local Enterprise
    Partnerships to agree priority areas for growth and regeneration that can be reinforced in concordats (or
    City Deals) extending over a number of years.

    2 Facilitate public–private development partnerships


    Partnerships bring together the best skills of the private sector in finance and development with the
    commitment of the public and voluntary sectors to long-term community development and sustainability.
    The Homes and Communities Agency should issue straightforward guidance on setting up public–private
    development partnerships for agreed priority areas that will simplify the process and avoid unnecessary
    legal costs.

    3 Mobilise public undesignated land


    Land cost is a key constraint and in appropriate places the easiest way to encourage house building is to
    use publicly owned land to secure the best possible outcomes for both local people and the wider
    community. Sustainable urban neighbourhoods can create value out of neglected land and will pay off
    over a business or property cycle. Hence, development must be kick-started by putting more land into
    joint ventures on a ‘build now, pay later’ basis. The report recommends that the Royal Institute of
    Chartered Surveyors and The Housing Forum, with support from DCLG, should promote better and more
    rigorous approaches to land valuation and disposal to get larger sites moving, following the government’s
    Housing Strategy.2

    4 Attract private funding for infrastructure


    To support community building and private investment, advance infrastructure is needed in terms of
    public transport provision, energy, waste, water and green space. The report recommends that the
    Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (along with the Department of Energy and Climate
