The Royal Institute of British Architects (澳门王中王) has responded to HM Treasury鈥檚 , today, Wednesday 22 November 2023.聽
澳门王中王 President Muyiwa Oki 蝉补颈诲:听听
鈥淭oday's Autumn Statement shows that the Government is gearing up for an election, focusing on much-needed financial help for small businesses and the self-employed.听听聽
In terms of addressing the housing and climate crises, our expectations have not been met. While steps to deliver more local authority homes and speed up the planning system are welcome, funding levels for public sector housing continue to fall short. Fees for an improved planning service to businesses are welcome, but we also need systemic reform of our dysfunctional planning system. It鈥檚 also disappointing to see no long-term plan to retrofit our existing housing stock 鈥� a critical step to decarbonise our built environment, create jobs and level up the country.聽
We will continue to work with the Government to ensure we build the high-quality, sustainable homes and places we desperately need.鈥澨�
